PC Sits at 92C With 940-950 MHZ

JasonPaul1.00

This is not normal. Is this on the CPU or graphics card?

 

If it's on the CPU, then open the side panel of the case and inspect the CPU heatsink. Ensure if it free from dust and the fan(s) are spinning correctly.

If you have some more thermal paste, you can try removing the heatsink, cleaning it, and remounting it to see if new thermal paste and remounting it helps improve the situation.

Did you make sure the cooler was properly installed? Enough thermal paste? Did you peel off the plastic sticker on the bottom of your cooler if it is an AIO?

 

Also system specs would be helpful

Also have had it dusted out lately and the fans are spinning coreclty 3 year old PC.. maybe it needs new thermal paste?

Its a Prebuilt PC and Its the GPU

What model of graphics card is it? Does the graphics card come with fans on its heatsink, and if so are they spinning? Is the GPU heatsink clogged with dust?
If you're unsure of your graphics card model, do you know the model number of the pre-built system (if from HP, Acer, Dell, Lenovo, etc)?

GeForce GTX 550 Ti on GF116 GPU
 

The stock clock speeds of the GPU is 900Mhz on the Core clock, so the clock speeds you're seeing are normal (assuming it's a factory overclocked variant with 920/940Mhz clock speeds).

 

The temperatures are a concern. Are the high temperatures only during games, or always even while the computer is idling on the desktop?

It seems that 900Mhz is the core clock of the 550ti? Unless I'm missing something here.

And it did start at 900 At first

It's probably just dust. @JasonPaul1.00 When was the last time you cleaned your pc?

Try putting the card back at factory settings. Cards that come with prebuilt systems usually aren't meant to be oc'd

Is your card the Nvidia reference 550ti? Does it look like the card in this image...

The cooling on those card isn't the greatest, and your high temperatures under load are likely just a result of your overclocking. Remove the overclock and leave it at its defaults.
Older graphics cards did have a tendency to run quite hot in general, so 90C under load on an overclocked card with a blower style cooler would not surprise me at all.


Best thing you can do is ensure that your case has adequete air flow (good front air intakes, clean dust filters on the front panel, etc) and lower/remove any overclock if the temps are too high.

I REMOVED OVERCLOCKING MAX FAN SPEED STILL 95C+ CLIMBING
