Default Heat Issues with pentium 960 D

I just built (my first) a systen using the pentium 960 D with a Zahlman cooler. I think it is running very hot. 53-60 degrees in non use mode (less than 5% CPU). It gets to 70 degrees C in high utilization 90% on both CPUs. My room temp is a little warm (about 75 degrees F), but I have four 120MM case fans so I was hoping to see lower temps. However, I do not really know how high a dual core system should or can run at. I am looking for people with experience on the D 960 or similar dual core systems. Anyone care to comment. I am also a rookie on posting stuff.

Thep roblem is not really the cooling, it's the chip.

The PentiumD 960 is one of the hottest, perhaps thé hottest chip. Boosting out a 130 watt !!

Should have bought an AMD

Default Maybe I should have got an AMD

Thx for the reply. Do you know how hot is too hot on that chip? Or where I can find info on it. I have the spec sheet and it tells me the thrmal guideline is 68 degrees for 130W. Does that mean that over 68 degrees is bad or normal? Thx

Congrats on the new system! However those temps sound to hot to me for the 9xx series of chips, especially with a Zalman cooler... The spec sheet on your processors is at http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SL9AP Your processor should not reach over 68.6°C, and will be throttling back hard above that temp.

Did you make sure to use a thermal compound/grease between your CPU and the Zalman cooler, and to not use to much of it? If you did use a thermal compound, then I'd remove the cooler, clean the stuff off everything, reply the thermal compound, then re-attach the cooler. It may not be making full contact with the CPU's surface.

Piotke, the FX60/FX62 both also have 130watt TDP specs... They are not much better...
