Windows 10: CPU at 75 degree celcius at idle even after replacing CPU cooler.

Hello, my pc has the following specs:CPU- Intel core i3 2120 3.3GHZMotherboard- Zebronics ZEB- H61 socket 1155RAM - 8gb ddr 1333mhzHDD - 1TB 7200RPM from consistentCase- Zebronics ZEB-BING cabinetFans - no fans other than cpu cooler and psu fanI cleaned up my pc a few days ago. I found that a lot of dust had been collecting in the back panel. I cleaned it up, though a lot of dust fell on my cpu cooler and other components like the motherboard the ram and even the hdd. I booted my system up and it was working just fine. After exactly 1 day, I booted it up again, only to be greeted with 70 degre

My i5 2500 CPU idling at 50 degrees celcius

OK Guys, Really thanks for all the suggestion and help. Really appreciated. Well anyways just woke up to a good day (not really when I checked the temp in bios it was still idling at 50 degrees celcius), but after installing realtemp and openhardwaremonitor. The temperature for all for cores are ilding around 25 degrees celcius having nothing running and max is round 30 degrees celcius. I guess the stupid motherboard temperature sensor is busted. Should I return it? Is it a major problem? All cores are at 1596mhz. I guess that is all right, right? Well really thanks. I was worry about nothing thanks to the stupid motherboard's bad sensor.

Side note: I really think the cpu cooler's pins are busted or maybe one of them. I could lock them but just not at the lock position. It fits sturdy after I tingled with the fourth pin but it is not in lock position. However I pulled it with some force and it won't come out.


Thanks alot.

 

CPU usage went to 100 % and overheating the computer after windows 10 anniversary update

Hi there,

Got the same problem on two different computers:

- laptop with with 10 Pro

- workstation with win 10 basic

The task manager tells 100% CPU usage and process explorer tells 95% idle process.

But the computer are overheating! the laptop run the fan at maximum as well as the workstation. The temperature of the CPUS is 90 deg celcius for the workstation and 75 deg celcius for the cpu as well.

Is there anything to do?

Thanks in advance

I thought it was common knowledge that BIOS idles much higher than windows. lol noobs. Your temps are fine man, you dont need to change anything.
