even if my cpu cabinet has 2-side-exhaust fans, the processor fan makes a lot of sound.
I even changed the coolant paste applied on processor but still it makes a lot of noise.
I used ‘FAN SPEED’ software to know that the temperature is about 52degree Celcius…
So, for the moment i’ve turned the side exhaust fans into inlet fans which is making the processor much cooler…
Please help!!!
The pentium4 (certainly the older version) was always HOT and 52c isn’t hot for a P4 it is about normal and possibly cool ;D
There were many jokes about this chip P4 all the central heating you’ll ever need.
The key to resolving this is to get a good heatsink and cooler, but you also need to have quality Thermal compound to connect the heatsink to the actual CPU. Some manufactures just use a cheep thermal pad which doesn’t do as good a job as a good thermal compound like Artic Silver, etc.
My Core2Due E8300 is currently at 40c Core #0 and 38c Core #1, the newer Core2Due chips use a smaller manufacturing process, 45nm, are much less hot even when pushed or overclocked than a bog standard P4.

Different software usually reads temperature wrong. CoreTemp and RealTemp work the best, though not sure if they work with P4.
Also even 52°C is not hot. When it goes over 65 or 70°C, then you should be concerned.
Oh, applying new thermal paste will not solve the noise problem. Fans are making noise, not CPU’s. Clean the dust or replace fans that cause vibrations and other noises.
His main board is the main issue…Form factor micro ATX, integrated graphics, non intel chipset, memory only DDR2 533 MHZ etc…Micro ATX & integrated graphics are always the bottle neck issues apart from memory & HD speed/cache.
Trying to run heavy appls on this MB…hasn’t mentioned memory installed, task manager shot.
If 52degree celsius is not too hot then why does it make sound only when the temp reaches arnd 50??
It doesnt make any noise when temp is around 45-49…
Or may be the temp shown by ‘speed fan’ is wrong??
Could be that the fans would be working harder to dissipate heat, depends on the type of fan and its means of control. Many are variable based on the chip sensor, the smaller the fan the faster it has to rotate.
There is HWMonitor (HardWare Monitor) which not only monitors CPU Temps but other hardware data including, Hard Disks, graphic chip temps, fan speed, etc. http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php. Most of these tools however use the same sensors to provide the data and the only difference is the way they interpret that info.
SpeedFan is a hardware monitor software that can access digital temperature sensors, but its main feature is that it [b][i]can control fan speeds [/i] [/b] according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus [b][i]reducing noise[/i][/b].
