The heat sink is tight and thermal paste is good... rebooting in a minute 

Posted

I just built a pc and for some reason my Cpu fan went crazy. I restarted the computer and went into the bios were it told me it was 90C and it wouldn't stop rising when the room and case (Area around the Cpu socket) was not hot at all.

I have had it for around 1 month

Did you take the plastic off of your cooler's heat spreader when you installed it?

step one, take your cpu cooler off and make sure you have a proper amount/spread of thermal paste... then make sure your cooler is screwed down all the way.

Stop. You could unintentionally and unnecessarily blow up your BIOS over a simple fix. Check the cooler mount first. Make sure there's enough thermal paste, that the plastic was removed, and that it's mounted properly.

Blow up the bios? Unlikely but I do agree. As an IT Tech I know first hand.... Try the simple things first.

I've watched someone try to flash a BIOS update, freak out because the screen froze, then mash down the power button and yank out the CMOS battery.

Reset CMOS =/= Flash CMOS. I haven't even started the college courses for A+ cert and I know that. :P

As do I, which makes my brain's seeing "resetting" and thinking "flashing" all the more inexcusable.

 

Good night, folks. :P

What are the specs of your system? Do you have a PCPartPicker list you can paste over?

If it's an AIO cooler I suspect the pump isn't running. Make sure you have connected it correctly as per the instructions :P
