Unhappy High CPU Temps Need HSF Recomendations
when i built it the pc shop was closed so used a very old case and psu but i'm planning on upgrading to antec 1200 and silverstone element so atleast the case will be future proof but i wanted to check my temps before I upgraded
so anyway i ran this programme some guy told me about called occt(overclock checking tool) and speed fan to get the temps and the programme auto sets it too an hour so i started to run it then the temps after say 20 mins reached 60c so i stopped the programme is this too high i might overclock but people said its too risky but I don't think thats going to happen with temps of 60 at 100% load

so can someone recommend a cpu cooler

60c is getting hot for an x2 4600+. If the cpu is at stock, you might want to reseat-it and check your case ventilation.

If you are after good aftermarket coolers, both the OCZ Vendetta 2 or the xigmatek 1283 would be good choices.

I think that this is going overboard for an x2 4600+.

When you reseated, did you clean off the old thermal compound and apply new thermal compound?

Oh and your case's lack of fans is a problem too


A noctua UH12P is a good cooler

What's your budget though (I'm not too familiar with New Zealand's currency myself)

You could always just buy a tube of AS5 and reseat your heatsink. When you remove a heatsink and put it back on without changing the thermal paste, you usually end up with worst temperatures.
