Is My CPU To Hot?
specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2300 CPU @ 2.80GHz
Mainboard Model: ASUS P8H67-M PRO
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. version 1104
AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series
Microsoft Windows 10 (10.0) Home 64-bit (Build 17134)
I just recently bought my nephews desktop computer (see above specs). A couple days ago I turned it on and it gave a CPU fan error. Ever since I been using SpeedFan to monitor the temperatures. My CPU temperature is constanly up into the 88-90C range even when I'm not doing anything. And the CPU Fan spped is listed at 645 RPM.
According to Speedfan I don't have any other Fans running but there are two case fans running all the time, one on the back and one on top.
Here are all the temperatures listed by Speedfan at the time of this writing:
System 30C
CPU 89C
AUX 90C
SMIOT4 30C
SMIOT4 30C
SMIOT4 30C
HD1 36C
HD0 32C
GPU 40C
Oddly, the only time the temperature seems to come down is when I'm doing something to push up the CPU load and then the fan starts spinning a little bit faster bringing the CPU temperature down. So my system starts out hot and cools down the more I use it, which seems strangly odd somhow.
So is there anything wrong with my system here that I should be concerned about? Do you think I need to replace the CPU fan? Or is there a BIOS setting to speed up the fan?
