I5 2500k 124 degrees?????

Forum CPU & Components : CPUs I5 2500k 124 degrees?????

Word :    Username :           
 

Bios idle is 55-65 which is quite hot but not unheard of after doing a few google searches.

 

However after a couple hours of light browsing and installing a few programs I decided to download speed fan. Checked my cpu temps and i was honestly shocked to see them at 124 degrees.....

 

I restarted my computer and went straight into bios and my temps were back to 65. Now i'm no physicist but surely theres no way that 60 degrees can dissipate so rapidly?

 

wtf is going on here?

Hi.

Update your mobo with the latest BIOS version available and check the temps with HWmonitor or core temp.

And for the 120ÂșC, it's a typo, if those temps was real in this moment you should be buying another CPU.

It may be a dying fan. Look for strange noises or buzzes cominf from every fans. Also try to make them spin with your fingers: if it stops spinning in a few seconds then you need to change those buggy fans.

Someone needs to warn people that speed fan is not a reason to start going crazy as it gives bad readings.
I downloaded it on my new pc it said my cpu was -68 and after my pc came back up after a 2 hour sleep it said 120.
I down loaded Core Temp and everything has been fine as it seem to read the correct Temp.
Perhaps Speedfan does not read the i5 and i7 CPUs correctly.
