Hello All
I had hoped I might find a post regarding any problems with Probe II.
I have:
WIN XP SP2 Home
Asus P5LD2 Mobo
P4 640 3.2Ghz 800FSB LGA 775 2MB Cache
Build date Dec 2005.
In the last month or more, everytime I switch on the system, I immediately get the Probe warning that the CPU has passed the threshold set temp 60c - sometimes it reaches 67c.
Have you checked to be sure that the heat sink is properly installed? I had problems with socket 775 mounting getting all the push pins properly installed. Maybe one of them has rotated loose and the heat sink is no longer getting good contact with the CPU.
I know P4's can run hot(had 478 P4 Prescott on an Msi Mobo)but I was given to understand that the mean operating temp for my current CPU is well below the Prescott.
When the CPU is at its high idle, 98%-99%, if I open probe I again get an immediate warning.
If the config. is opened whilst warning sounds, the readings of the fan speed in relation to the temp, do not seem to add up.
The fan speed can read 2050 and temp 60+, then the fan speed will drop to say 1930 and the temp show 48. It can show mid 50 with a fan speed of anything between 1930 - 2200.
During the first couple of months, the temp was always bet 43-50c with a fan speed of about 2000.
Asus says, set the high threshold to 5c above the highest temp it is showing at warning - a rash and irresponsible reply.
On top of the CPU there is 120mm super cooler, super quiet fan,
which is noisy and may not be keeping things so cool after all.
I am beginning to wonder why this was fitted.
It sounds like the cooler automatically adjusts the fan speed to the CPU temperature which is why it is running fast, and loud. If you fix the cooling problem the fan will probably slow down and become quiet.
It was my understanding that this mobo has its own built-in cooling and that the CPU, with proper chassis fan/s, should run at about 40-45c with a case temp of 69c..
I have spent days trying to understand the tech details of the various bits of hardware and have had constant contact with both Intel and Asus, but getting nowhere.
Two weeks ago I sent an email to the system builder, but as yet no reply.
Another newsgroup suggested I came here.
If further system info etc required please ask
Thank you.
