Hey ,
I really need help , my CPU temperature is getting really high and i dont know why . It's a AMD Athlon 3800+ 2.4ghz . I opened my computer , cleaned the fan from dust and everything , but the temperature is still high ( 75C° , while opened ). The fan is spinning at 3500 - 4000 rpm . Always crashing when i play something ....

Please help ...

Thanks

Hello bnnaman,

Welcome to PCHF.

With these CPU's, you do need some additional cooling. Do you have any chassis fan's onboard? And is there anything obstructing the flow of air in your system? Also, what socket CPU is this, socket 939?

no , dont have any additional fans :/ , and i doubt theres anything wrong with the air flow as i keep one side of the comp open .

as for the socket i have no idea , sorry

no problems, if you download http://www.download3k.com/DownloadLink2-SIW.html

There is no setup required, just run it and scroll down to the section "Motherboard" on the left hand pane, and on the right hand side you will see "CPU Socket", what does it say here?

it's the 939 socket

This may seem like a silly question, but your not overclocking your CPU?

Have a look at this page for a replacement heatsink for your CPU. These fans are designed to get the heat away from your CPU in the most efficent way possible. They normally have variable speed controls attached, but do cost a little more than the standard heatsinks that are supplied with the CPU. They really are amazing, and well worth the money.

Also, at the back of your case, there is normally a small section where you can attach one of these:
