Computer overheating? Very loud fan. - Hardware & Software

So I don't think these SpeedFan tests are good, is there anything I can do short of buying new parts? [img]http://imgur.com/lqP6Y.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/CHdTa.png[/img] The computer does not shut down randomly but it has been running slower and the fan has been incredibly loud for a while. Let me know if you need any more info, or if its just my imagination.

yes someone else told me that. do i just open it up and spray the fan? i just opened it and it didnt look that dusty.

look behind everything- are the air intakes/outputs blocked? maybe check the thermal grease on your heatsink. by the way your processor is 40 degrees Fahrenheit over what the legal temperature of cooked meat is in California. that is NOT good.

[QUOTE=Waals Vander;35327055]how do i do this[/QUOTE] you know what thermal grease is right? just take off your heatsink and check to see if you have a nice even layer of white paste sitting on your processor (thin layer though (like really thin)) a shit heatsink or lack of thermal paste sounds like a good explanation although it looks like pretty much your whole pc is heating up as well, so yeah just go through and dust the shit out of it, make sure your thermal paste is good, and if that doesn't help you need better airflow in your case. so either get a new case or throw some fans into your existing case if it has enough ports for air to get in and out of. [editline]28th March 2012[/editline] also yeah you just get canned air and spray all around your pc, especially near fans even if you dont see huge dustbunnies sitting in your case you can still accumulate a lot of dust that just floats about

replace thermal grease with toothpaste it will stay minty ice fresh

I also have a problem with my HP Folio. It has a very noisy fan but I only bought it less than a month ago so it can't be dusty. The Physical memory is around 40% at start up though.

This is why you don't buy a prebuild computer and spend 2 bloody hours looking at how a computer gets put together on a youtube tutorial and buy the parts you want yourself... :/

[QUOTE=Wormy;35343159]That doesn't make any sense. I have a prebuilt computer, and it works just fine.[/QUOTE] HP have a bad reputation for overheating computers, what I meant is learn how to build your own computer and do it yourself instead of buying prebuilt shit that overheats.

i have an asus. and i opened it up and sprayed it out and so far it seems to be better. a nice dust cloud blew out of the fan when i sprayed.
