If anyone here remembers, a little while ago (pretty much the same time the 9850 came onto the market) I made my first build and came here for support when things went very very bad. I come to you today with a new problem, I never regarded this as a problem until recently when my new step mother told me that my computer fans were deafeningly loud, and I started looking into ways of quieting them down when I discovered that my processor seems to be running unusually hot apparently. I'm thinking that there is either an error with the thermometer on the board or that the cpu is faulty if it's running this hot.

Oct 16, 2009 AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE Running way to hot; Amd Phenom II x4 965 black edition fan won't install! 9850 BE to Phenom II 940 Question; Amd phenom II x4 955 Black.

I tool this screenshot of AMD Overdrive while idling and the cpu fan was still running at 5100RPM according to OverDrive. Is there anying wrong or is this normal? I'm using stock fans and heatsink with Zalman thermal grease, i have two 120mm intake fans (one front, one side) and one 90mm outtake fan on the rear of the chassis. I have the 9850 black also, my impression was it's running hot also.

But with a good air flow it dropped consistently, the case was under the desk so i got it out and it's better now. Tonight i tried something else and it worked on my temperatures as much as 8 degrees C, you should try it, see what happens. I changed the setting in Control Panel / power options, i changed it from 'performance' to 'balanced'. My fan is set on cool'n'quiet mode and i hardly can see it moving, it's on 782 rpm and my cpu temp is 36 C.

It was on 1200 rpm and 43 C before i changed this last setting. Descargar Test De Kuder Pdf. So i thought maybe you should try it.

I'll cancel the cool'n'quiet for a few min, i'm curious how low will my temp go hehe Good luck!
