Re: Help CPU Temp Too High
Clean your fans and heatsinks, they normaly get quite dusty. Best way to do it is to use some compressed air.
Just so you know 52C isnt that hot my laptop runs at 56C/57C (CPU/GPU) -

Re: Help CPU Temp Too High
Take off the heatsink, gently clean the bottom of the heatsink and the top of the cpu, reinstall the heatsink, using a thin layer of artic-silver 5. You may also want to consider a better heatsink.Originally posted by [UKNG]Tartan_TarComment

Re: Help CPU Temp Too High
Don't worry about it. Your computer showing 29C is PROBABLY wrong. Body temp is 37C! AMD website says max safe temp is 70C, so don't worry unless you start getting up to 63-65C. 52-54C is NOT that hot. Here is the link (you'll have to cut and paste it.)Originally posted by [UKNG]Tartan_Tar
