as the title says, my cpu (AMD Athlon 2600 Barton Core) gets to over 80c in temp, using the "SIV for GBT" app which came with my gigabyte motherboard. also these temps are shown in the bios. I am using a ThermalTake Volcano 12 heatsink and fan, and im even getting these temps with the fan on full (5400rpm) which is ridiculous.
In addition, the computer shuts down occasionally but randomly, and it's only really done a few times today. The cpu hasn't always been this hot as when i got it, it was around 35-40 but it's suddenly shot up, due to the warm weather i would have thought (im in the uk).
do you think there is something wrong with the cpu or just that the case may be getting too hot, having said that the board temp is about 45c. im sure even in these warm conditions the cpu shouldn't be getting this hot...
any suggestions would be welcome,
thanks
