Hello ,

I think this is my first post on this web site.

I have Pentium Dual Core 2.66 Ghz processor and 1 GB ddr1 533mhz Ram, So I purchased intel D102GGC2 board and assemble everything.

I don't know why but after everything completed, Processor is going very high temp. Even When I see in bios, temperature is increasing very fast and stick around 70 'C degree.

So I changed CPU Fan still same, after that I changed SMPS but still same situation.

I don't know reason so I think lets put here..

Please help me to find out reason. If motherboard has a problem then I can replace. SO please reply fast. I will reply fast too.

Thanks in Advance.

Help would be really appreciated.

Good checks so far by and , and useful troubleshooting by (replaced fan/heatsink, swapped SMPS and tested the CPU in a Dell GX520 where it ran cool). Since the processor works and the cooler/PSU were swapped, focus on the board, mounting and sensors. The steps below are a quick, practical checklist to isolate the fault without repeating things you already tried.

  1. Remove the cooler and inspect the thermal-paste imprint. The paste should show an even contact pattern across the IHS. If it is mostly on one side or only the center, re-seat the heatsink and re-check.
  2. Reset CMOS (clear BIOS) and load BIOS defaults. Check CPU settings: clock/multiplier and Vcore reading in the BIOS. If Vcore looks unusually high compared to the CPU's nominal spec, that points to a motherboard VRM issue.
  3. Make sure the fan is on the CPU_FAN header and that the BIOS reports RPM. Force the fan to full (disable PWM control) to rule out fan-control problems.
  4. Visually inspect the socket and pins (or CPU pins) for damage or bent pins from installation.
  5. Boot with a minimal setup (CPU, single RAM stick, GPU only if needed) outside the case to rule out case/airflow or shorting. Use a software monitor in an OS to cross-check BIOS temperatures.
  6. If everything above checks out but temperatures remain high, the motherboard (VRM or sensor) is the likely culprit — consider RMA or replacement.

If you are unsure about reading Vcore or flashing BIOS, have a technician handle those steps. Do not run the system long at 70+C while you diagnose it.

did you apply thermal compond/paste on the cpu before installing the heatsinc/fan

As caperjack suggested, verify that you have properly applied thermal conducting paste/tape between the CPU and heatsink. Also, make sure that the motherboard is not driving the CPU faster than it's rated speed. CPU temperatures much over 50C are not good. My memory temperature is usually higher than that, but they start to flake out much over 100C. I try to keep them under 80C or so.

Sorry for late reply.
Actually I was out of station and can't access Daniweb.

I applied thermal compound perfectly, even I tried another fan & Heatsink for this.

Nothing worked.

Someone told me that procesor has problem, So I tested same processor with another system (Dell Optiplex GX520) and its working very well and cool too. Still I am trying to get another same processor and will check again. (finger crossed )

Thanks guys for your help.
