CPU & GPU too hot even after Zalman 9900 & 6 Fans??

[funkymoneky]

So I must say, I'm really really worried right now. I don't do any OC. I don't run any hardware intensive games. In fact, the most I ever do is usually just play videos and photoshop. And yet my temps seem to be sky high for what I'm doing.


Can someone help me explain why pls?? I'm really worried!!! Considering that I'm not doing anything except downloading and watching vids (i bought the set up for future video/graphics/gaming projects that I have not had time to do yet), it's really hot.


case: Antec p190 (all fans already set to highest speeds)
2x150mm 3 speed top fans
1x120 mm rear 3 speed exhaust fan
2x120 mm Antec TriSpeed front intake fans
1x220 mm side panel fan
motherboard: gigabyte ga-ex58-extreme
CPU: intel i7 920 lga1366
CPU Fan: Zalman 9900 LED
GPU: 2x evga nvidia gtx 280 OC in SLI. really only used to connect 3 monitors and an LG TV to it...
PSU: Corsair 750 HX


I also have 6 x 2 TB Seagate barracuda LP hard drives connected


my temp readings are (according to Speedfan)
CPU: 74C
GPU1: 81C
GPU2: 65C


then it has a few "remotes and locals" that i dunno what they are but they're running at:


temp1: 54 C
temp2: 35 C
temp3: 54 C
local: 67 C
remote 2: 74 c

Why not try water cooling?

One option to check out your speedfan is outdated or not. Install & download HW Monitor software on your computer. It will help you to identify that your machine is not in danger of overheating or any other type of technical issue

Did you use thermal paste or a pad between the heatsinks and the cpu and gpu?

LMAO! Just realized this thread was 2 years old!
