A friend of mine just recently bought a pre-built computer and is having some temperature problems, I will paste what he wrote:
For no reason in particular, I just checked out my CPU temperature with the Soltek hardware monitoring utility, and the "CPU die" is reading as 60 and I'm not even running any games (just mirc, winamp, aim, basic stuff). What the ****? I have 7 total fans all running at their max speed in my basement, which is air conditioned all day. Not to mention from what I gather, the Soltek HM utility reads lower than it's supposed to. How is this possible?!
edit: quick info, I use a 3.0ghz P4 CPU with a Thermaltake case (w/ built in fans) and a fairly high end Soltek motherboard (forget the exact model). Bought 'em all new off Newegg, retail also.
Can anyone give me some advice so I can help my friend?edit: quick info, I use a 3.0ghz P4 CPU with a Thermaltake case (w/ built in fans) and a fairly high end Soltek motherboard (forget the exact model). Bought 'em all new off Newegg, retail also.
