hi just installed a new motherboard into my comp as old one went wrong after the install the computer is running as suppose except that the cpu fan is louder than what it was before and seems to always be on and workng at a high rate, i cleaned it out as it was very dusty and still no luck would putting more paste on the cpu help? if yes where would i get some (im in uk)please if any 1 has any advise please assist as its worrying me why the comp is running so hot if that is what its doing that is. my comp intel p4 2.50 ghz 512mb ram ddr
check in the bios to see what the cpu temp is. also check motherboard cd to see if there is a program to check temperature, rpm & voltages.
checked bios cpu core voltage 1.48v cpu temp 32.c cpu fan speed 4687 sometimes up to 4821 rpm is this good / bad?
btw ignore the comp i have under my name as i have 2 the one under my names running fine the problem is with a p4 2.50 ghz with a newly installed elite motherboard
cpu temp is good & the fan appears to be alright too. can get a fan controller & temp gauge that fits into a 5.25" bay & possibly 3.5" bay so can control the cpu fan according to the temperature.
