Arctic Freezer 7 Pro didnt do it, what will?

[madman045]

We have a small server in the office we built (small budget) but for some reason the cpu is really hot.

The case has several silent x fans in it and today i fitted a new Arctic freezer 7 pro

Here are the temps both idle and load using Prime95





Now the load temp is high, but when we had the really hot weather, it wasnt far off 90c!

Anyone suggest anything else, another case perhaps?

Thanks

what processor is it?

[madman045]

Its a 3Ghz Prescott

my old 3.4 prescott was idling at mid 40's maybe with my arctic freezer. Its the cores, they run insanely hot. Wouldnt worry about it unless it goes into the late 60's cos they have thermal throttling, so they shut doon at high temps

try re-seating the heatsink, it maybe that it just isn't getting a good contact with the cpu

You could try lapping the IHS and the heatsink to ensure maximum contact?
