Error encountered during startup: "Unable to run overclock"
Yeah, back in the 1700s I had to push through... in games the heat levels start low then climb really high, usually around 60. I’ll give it another shot... As for the error, I checked after a power cut—Asus motherboards can do that. The next machine I build might not have an Asus board...
The maximum temperature they should reach is approximately 73°C, any higher and it becomes unsafe.
well now I just came back from being afk and the computer was at standby... it may have always done this but when i come back the fan was at 500rpms and the cpu was at 73... how is this... even with modest fan settings this should not be happening...
I will admit it may have always done this and I never noticed as I did not have this thermal radar in for that long but I am not sure how 73 at standby is possible unless it is a program error on standby.
The program you're running on the 73C when it becomes extremely hot is 73C.
If you increased the speed just by resetting the clock, it would return to normal.
well that is the thing I am not sure it is anything other than the fan.... 73c was when coming back from standby, but the fan was at 20% I reinstalled the OS and I may start turning off my computer when not in use....
As to the fan itself I do not know how to set it to self adjust in BIOS it has an option to set turn to max settings, but it does not when I temperature tested it with Prime95... it went to 78c without boosting over 800 rpm... Right now my solution is to leave it on max all the time it will stay cold at 1700 to 1800rpms, but may burn up the fan.... that is my concern...
I am not worried about the noise... I just want to save the fan and processor... My processor is a 2600k I7 and I have a socket that will be hard to find a CPU to replace, that will mean, new OS, New motherboard, and a pain in my bottom
🙁

Well that’s the point I’m uncertain about—it might just be the fan. 73c was when returning from standby, but the fan ran at 20%. I reinstalled the OS and now I’m thinking about turning it off when idle. Regarding the fan, I don’t know how to adjust it in BIOS; there’s an option to set it to maximum, but testing with Prime95 showed it went to 78c without exceeding 800 RPM. My current approach is to keep it at maximum all the time, which keeps the temperature low (1700–1800 RPM) but risks overheating the fan. That’s my main worry.
I’m not concerned about noise, just about saving the fan and processor. My CPU is a 2600k I7, and finding a compatible replacement would be tough—it would require a new OS, motherboard, and it would be a hassle.
What type of heatsink are you using? Stock aftermarket coolers seem really bad.
