I got a big problem,
I had my cpu and mobo for ages (check left) and as long as i can remember it had a huge overclock on it. From 2.1 to 2.7. with 1.45v going through the core. As long as i can remember the cpu used to be fine and idle at 30C ish and only reach 45 - 50C at very most.
How ever sudenly over the last week i noticed its now ideling at 55C and when its under full load it shuts down. I noticed the overclock isnt a problem since if i remove it and revert everything to stock the tempretures dont change. Its still idleing at same tempreture. I have removed the heat sink and reapplied the thermal compaund now its arctic silver stuff. Then i have checked the airflow around the case, and there seems to be plenty of air going through the heat sink. Im curently using scythe ninja2. Which i know should in theory be running this fanlessly. Any sugestions on what to try next?
Just to point out i had the cpu since about 2005 and its been overclocked for about 3 years now. Could it be the cpu going?
