Replacing the thermal paste did not help the processor gets hot. Replacing thermal paste is a quick fix if the processor overheats. What to do if the suggested options do not help

The processor is the main part hardware computer. Sometimes it is called CPU - central processing unit. The higher the performance of the CPU, the more heat it produces. However, too high a temperature reduces the performance of the device, therefore, coolers are used for cooling. If overheating occurs, then, and sometimes it just turns off. If this does not happen, the CPU may fail. We are sure that almost every one of you has encountered this.

Why does the CPU overheat?

• There is not enough paste between the processor and the cooling system radiator. For best heat dissipation, these two devices should be in contact as tightly as possible with each other, which is facilitated by the paste.

• The cooler was simply clogged with dust. In this case, it is not able to effectively remove heat.

• The cooler is too weak for your processor. Let's say you decide to change the CPU to a more modern one, but leave the fan as old. Since the power of the device has increased, the fan is not able to remove heat.

Solution

If you don't know what to do when a problem arises, then don't worry - you've come to the right place.

In the first case, we will analyze the insufficient amount of thermal paste between the cooler radiator and the CPU. You need to remove the old paste and apply new paste to the surface. To do this, unplug the system unit from the outlet, disassemble it and carefully disconnect the fan with radiator from the CPU. Then remove the processor (it is held on by a latch). Now the previously contacting surfaces must be cleaned of the hardened paste. This is done using a special solvent, which can be purchased at the store. computer components. Before use, do not forget to read the instructions. Now all that remains is to apply the pre-purchased paste. Spread a very thin layer of it on the processor cover (you can use, for example, a credit card), install it in the groove on the motherboard, and install the cooler radiator on top. Clamp the structure. When you turn on your computer for the first time using special programs type SpeedFan you can check the CPU temperature.

Next we clean the cooling system. Before you start “cleaning”, stock up on a small brush. You will need it when you clean small parts. Now we unwind the SB, remove the cooler and clean it properly. Don't forget about other components - they are probably covered in dust too. For cleaning, you can use a regular vacuum cleaner.

If you have problems with the fan, that is, its power is not enough to cool the CPU, then you need to change it to a more powerful one. Fortunately, now coolers are relatively inexpensive and for 1-2 thousand rubles you can find an excellent option on the market.

In the vastness of the RuNet I discovered very interesting option solving the problem. The young man's CPU was constantly overheating. Finally, he decided to replace it, but it ran out. Our hero didn’t want to go to the store for paste, but decided to do this: he simply polished the base of the cooler to a shine, and then connected the parts. You won’t believe it, but after that he forgot about overheating altogether, and at the same time proved that the operation of a cooling system without thermal paste is quite possible. Whether it is worth using this method is up to you to decide, but we would not recommend it.

Today our topic is processor overheating. We have already touched on it a little in our article on processor burning due to overheating. Now let's look at this point in more detail.

Firstly, I want to say: if it heats up, this is normal, since it is supplied electrical voltage. But if it overheats, this is no longer good and must be dealt with.

Secondly: modern chips (from " AMD" or " Intel" - not so important) as well as have a built-in overheating warning system and forced termination work if it is detected. So processor overheating and failure is not as important now as it used to be.

How can you monitor the processor temperature? First of all, these are “bios” indicators. Depending on its model and implementation, the parameter we need may be located in different sections of the BIOS. Most often it is located in the “Hardware” or “Power” sections and is called “ Hardware monitor"(monitoring).

In the figure above we see the processor temperature (CPU Temperature) and motherboard temperature (MB Temperature). Temperatures are presented in degrees Celsius (C) and Fahrenheit (F).

Here, for example, is what an external thermal sensor looked like for taking temperature readings from old AMD processors (now similar sensors are built into the core itself):

To measure temperature there are also various system utilities, of which there are a great many, but you need to understand that all programs use the readings of hardware sensor chips located on the computer’s motherboard.

Previously, monitoring functions were performed by specialized thermal and electrical sensors. Now special microcircuits do this “ Super Multi IO" They are also called multicontrollers (or “cartoons”), since they not only remove and process various indicators from tracking sensors, but also control fan speed, implement the functions of parallel and serial ports, contain mouse and keyboard controllers, FDD, game port, etc. We looked at how to repair the board by replacing the multicontroller in our article.

We can see an example of one such “cartoon” in the photo below. As you can see, the multicontroller is built on the basis of the Winbond W83627THF chip.

Note: normal temperature operating processor must be in the range from 30 before 60 degrees Celsius (depending on its model), chipset - from 25 before 50 , A graphics core(video cards) - from 40 before 70 degrees. Naturally, depending on the load on a particular component!

And now I want to give one example from practice when the BIOS temperature readings helped me detect processor overheating.

On one of previous works I was replacing a burned out motherboard on my computer. Naturally, I removed the processor with the cooling system and installed a new one. Assembled, screwed together, launched - everything works. About a week later they ask me to come and have a look: the computer is making a lot of noise, which is preventing the accountant working on it from self-realization :)

I arrive and from the threshold I hear the howl of a fan. At first, I admit, I thought (this happens to them), but it turned out that the cooling cooler was noisy (the processor was installed for the LGA 775 socket).

I decided to look at the temperature indicators of the motherboard and core in the BIOS, and was quite surprised that the sensor showed “85” degrees Celsius. Now, at least, it was clear why the fan was working at maximum speed (the motherboard or the “stone” itself, having detected overheating, increased its rotation speed).

Another thing is noteworthy here - under the conditions of a week's operation in this temperature regime, no consequences of such overheating were found, leading, as a rule, to reboots and freezing.

By the way, the reason that overheating occurred was that I did not fully press one of the clamps of the cooling system. As a result, the radiator did not fit tightly to the protective cover of the processor and could not effectively “take” heat from it. After fixing the problem, the temperature readings were fixed at “59” degrees.

It must be said that signs of processor overheating on new computers may not appear even if you force the system to shut down active cooling(pull the fan power out of the motherboard). If you do not run quite “heavy” applications ( computer games), such systems can function stably for a long time.

I remember there was another case in our IT department: they brought in an old Athlon with symptoms of periodic “freezing” and unstable work software. They asked me to reinstall Windows.

Intuitively understanding that the reason was not Windows, we opened the case and found that the fins of the radiator of the processor cooling system were so densely clogged with caked dust that it formed a kind of “shield”, which, in fact, isolated the radiator from the fan, which was unsuccessfully trying to dissipate the emitted the core is warm.

I had to remove the entire structure, clean the radiator from dust with a screwdriver, apply new thermal paste and put everything back together. After this, the computer worked stably and the question about reinstalling Windows disappeared automatically :)

What do I want you to understand? That attention to overheating of the processor (like any other PC component) should be given due attention.

How to avoid CPU overheating? When installing (or replacing) a radiator, be sure to use thermal paste. Carefully remove the old one and apply a new one to its top protective cover in an even thin layer, as shown in the photo below:

You can evenly distribute the paste over the surface with your finger (as shown in the photo). Personally, I use an old credit card that doesn't work. Its hard plastic allows for uniform distribution of thermal paste over the surface.

I use paste from Zalman. It is sold in special bottles and equipped with a brush for more convenient application.

Why do you need thermal paste at all? She plays a very important role in preventing processor overheating! To effectively remove heat from the hot core, the lower surface of the radiator must fit very tightly to its protective cover (in older models, directly to the processor chip).

The fasteners provide the proper degree of fit, but the problem is that no matter how good the fasteners are and no matter how well the bottom surface of the radiator itself is polished, there are still micro-scratches and micro-gaps between the processor and its cooling system.

These same “gaps” are what high-quality thermal paste is designed to fill. Since it is thermally conductive, it significantly increases the overall cooling efficiency by collecting heat from the entire surface and transferring it to the radiator, from which the heat is blown away by a fan.

There are also funny cases: one PC came to us for repair/maintenance. Diagnosis - overheating, consequence - spontaneous shutdown(overheat protection is triggered). We blew it out and decided to change the thermal paste on the processor. Imagine my surprise when, after removing the old paste underneath, I discovered this picture:

The computer came to us from China (along with a set of measuring equipment), but why weren’t the stickers removed when it was carried out?! In addition to everything else, a transparent polyethylene blotch was carefully glued to the oval! What do you think is the thermal conductivity coefficient of such “nice” additions? :) The processor heated up to 76 degrees Celsius!

With the help of a stationery knife, alcohol and such and such a mother, they removed this disgrace, applied new thermal paste and the heating temperature, in the end, was 61 degrees.

Personally, to eliminate the problem of overheating, I used in my home computer tower-type radiator with copper tubes. Copper (unlike aluminum) conducts heat better, and general design"tower" cooling systems make it possible to combat the problem of processor overheating much more effectively.

This is what my Scythe model looks like Katana3».

I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that good (high-quality) fans have three or even four wires for connection. Additional wires allow you to programmatically control the speed of their revolutions and adjust the pitch of this rotation.

Here, for example, is what the packaging of an 8-centimeter LED fan I recently purchased looks like:

Let's go through the basic notations:

• RPM- "Rounds Per Minute" number of revolutions per minute
• Voltage- supply voltage of the device
• Current- current consumption (in Amperes)
• Air Flow- air flow created by the cooler
• Noise- noise produced

All main parameters, temperature related, rotation speed and voltage can be measured using the wonderful program “ Speed ​​Fan", which I offer you. This program receives readings from a multicontroller (we talked about it above), which, in turn, takes data from various counter and sensor chips located on the motherboard.

I can’t resist and will separately dwell on the products of the Zalman company, I really like them! :) In general, Zalman in computer cooling systems is the same as Intel in the production of processors (a respected and very respectable brand).

Here, for example, is what their packaged cooling looks like, designed to prevent the processor from overheating:

Included in delivery recruitment is underway for fastening on different boards. Moreover, the fastener is so universal that it allows you to install the structure on whole line processor sockets(connectors). It is noteworthy that both Intel and AMD CPUs are supported!

Here - additional accessories to the cooling system itself:

A little more detail:

• (1 and 2) - fastening elements
• 3 - “backplate” (Lower part of the cooling mount. Located on the back side motherboard)
• 4 - fan speed controller on the processor (displayed on the front or back panel housing) Scientific name - « rheobass»
• 5 - power supply cables

Look at the radiator itself. This is the thing I’m holding! :)

Massive and at the same time elegant design:

So, don’t skimp on the cooling system: overheating the processor has never brought anyone any harm. And yours will look simply gorgeous after installing such a “toy”! :)

Let's say a few words about the general (classical) organization of the cooling system inside. It can be described as follows: a fan is placed on the front wall of the case (under the front decorative panel), running for air injection inside system unit. Another fan is mounted on the rear wall of the case, but this one works at blowing air out.

In a closed case, such a combination provides quite significant traction. Inside, it’s as if a large turbine begins to work: cool air from the room gets inside and, passing through the entire “stuffing” of the computer, is thrown out.

There is another (non-traditional) cooling scheme: many fans are installed in a closed system unit, all of which work to blow air inside. During operation, they create excess pressure inside the housing, under the influence of which hot air is literally “squeezed out” from numerous holes in the casing.

And for a better understanding of the importance of cooling and preventing overheating, I once again present a photo of mine and hope that the recommendations we outlined in this article will help you avoid such an unpleasant phenomenon as processor overheating.

And finally, watch a video about how computer processors are assembled:

from 270 rub.

RUB CPU - this is almost the most main detail on the computer. It is responsible for almost all processes that you perform on the device. Without him correct operation

Stable operation of the PC as a whole is impossible, so it must always be in good condition. But sometimes we may notice that all programs that measure the temperature in the system show that the processor on the computer is very hot.

Because of this, your PC can become very slow and unstable. Moreover, we may encounter a complete failure of this part, and its repair or replacement will be expensive.

Today we’ll talk about why the processor on a PC gets hot and what to do in such a situation.

The simplest options If you notice that the processor on your PC is overheating, the reasons can be very different, even the most basic. First of all, let's figure out what protective devices

• are installed on the chip and prevent its damage in the event of a critical temperature increase. There are two of them:
• A radiator that is mounted on the fan;

Special sensor-relay. The first device allows you to significantly improve the cooling of the chip, and the second is necessary to instantly turn it off when extreme temperatures are reached.. temperature regime If the processor is heating up and the heatsink can no longer cope with the load, then something is wrong with your system.

1. First of all, we need to understand the most basic reasons. There are three of them:
2. Dustiness of the system unit;
3. Lack of cooling due to poor cooler performance;

Thermal paste drying out.

In general, what to do in both cases is clear. Treatment methods include cleaning the PC, replacing thermal paste, as well as cleaning the fan and checking its operation (you may need to install a new one).

If none of this helps, then you need to look for the cause elsewhere.

Cleaning the socket motherboards There are special sockets for the CPU, which are called “socket”.

And if dust gets into the space between the processor and the socket, the user experiences overheating.

First of all, it is important to know that without experience in removing the processor, it is better this procedure do not produce it yourself. The motherboard is a very fragile device that contains several vital components that are also very easy to damage. If you haven't done this before, it's better to contact a professional. An experienced specialist will be able to carry out the procedure without the risk of damaging parts.

Before resorting to this method, it is recommended to test the processor again. This is done by measuring the temperature at its maximum unloading.

If it gets very hot even at less than 50% load, then most likely the reason lies in the dustiness of the socket. In this case, there is only one way out - dismantling the processor and then cleaning the slot to accommodate it. Step by step it looks like this.

Fixing the problem when the processor heats up

• Turning off the PC. You need to shut down the device, disconnect all power cables, peripherals, and the Internet. Then the system unit must be laid on its side.
• Elimination of static charge. Please note right away that you do not need to work in silk or woolen clothing, which accumulates electricity. It is best to wear shoes with rubber soles on your feet. The charge is removed by touching the computer with one hand and any metal object with the other.
• Opening the lid. You need to unscrew the system unit and remove the cover from it, and then carefully examine the inside of the PC.



• Removing the cooling system. In order to access the processor, you first need to remove the heatsink and fan. As soon as this is done, a socket with a chip will immediately appear in the field of view.



• Removing the processor. The most difficult task in the course of work, which is not recommended for beginners without the appropriate knowledge. The processor is a very fragile device; it has several contacts that are easily damaged and legs that are also very easy to break. The chip is fixed in the socket using special fasteners - clamps or a lever. If they are broken, it will not fit tightly into the socket, which means the computer will not work. To remove the processor, you must very carefully lift up these fasteners and very carefully remove the CPU from the slot.



• Cleaning the socket. Once you remove the chip, you will immediately be able to notice dust inside. This is probably the cause of all the problems with your PC. Dust obstructs efficient cooling system or its individual elements, which is why experts recommend regularly cleaning your PC from dust. You can remove it from the socket using a brush. This is also done extremely carefully.

When the heat sets in, it's not just people who want to hide in the shade, take a dip in the sea, or retreat to air conditioning. The computer is also sensitive to high temperatures, which are harmful to its components. To protect against overheating, processors, video cards, power supplies and other hot components are equipped with radiators and fans. But sometimes there comes a time when they can’t cope. So,The processor overheats and the computer turns off - what to do?? How to protect your “electronic assistant” from destructive high temperatures and restore its functionality? There are several ways. Which one to use specifically depends on the cause of overheating.

When overheating is detected, you should first understand why it is happening. The reasons for this unpleasant phenomenon have a common nature - the inability of the cooler to remove the heat generated by the cores. But the specifics of the problem in a particular case may differ. Methods for solving the overheating issue also depend on it.

Dust

No matter how clean the room is, it will not be possible to completely get rid of dust. Its source, among other things, is the person himself: skin cells are constantly renewed, and their dead layer gradually disappears. This process is invisible, but happens all the time. Upholstered furniture, pillows, mattresses, feather beds, blankets tend to accumulate dust, and from them it also gets into the air. Fans in a computer create a pressure difference by sucking in air. Small dust particles from it get inside the system unit and settle on the PC components. Showering twice a day and cleaning daily can slow down the accumulation of dust, but not stop it.

Poor contact with the cooling system

It is not possible to connect the heatsink to the processor chip with a “dead seam”. To ensure that the metal base of the cooler has better contact with the crystal and that there is no air between them, thermal paste is used. The cooler itself is fixed to the chip using screws or special clamps for tight contact.

Thermal paste (especially cheap) has a limited shelf life. Over time, under the influence of temperature and atmospheric air, it can dry out and degrade, changing its structure. It turns from a conductor of heat into an insulator.

The cooler can also become deformed due to temperature changes. The motherboard and radiator mounts also bend. As a result, the chip does not fit so tightly to the base of the cooler; a microscopic layer of air is formed between them, which is a good insulator for heat.

Fan wear

The service life of a modern fan is thousands and tens of thousands of hours, but it is still limited. Bearings, shafts and bushings wear out, and dust and metal particles get into the lubricant. As a result, the fan either starts to “walk” (which is unpleasant due to the noise, but not terrible), or rotates worse. In this case, the air flow decreases and the performance of the cooling system decreases.

Heat pipe degradation

Heat pipes used in coolers are hollow copper capillaries filled with a refrigerant and sealed at the ends. One end of them is in contact with the hot part (processor chip), and the other is in contact with the cold part (cooler radiator). The refrigerant substance is selected according to its chemical composition in such a way that at room temperature it is in a liquid state, and when it is significantly exceeded (40 degrees and above) it evaporates. The steam from the hot area rises to the fins of the cooler, where it condenses and flows back down, cooling the processor. This process occurs cyclically and continuously.

Freon substances have high fluidity. They are able to leak through walls made of materials that are impermeable to water (for example, rubber and latex). When heat pipes degrade, microcracks may form on them, invisible to the human eye. But even these are enough for the gas to evaporate. Without refrigerant, the tube loses thermal conductivity and does not have time to remove heat from the processor core to the radiator, which leads to overheating.

Incorrect setting

Incorrect actions by the user (or service personnel) can also cause overheating. Limiting cooler speed (no matter in the BIOS or using programs) to eliminate noise reduces the power of the cooler, and it can no longer cope with the task. Many computers also have a setting in the BIOS that is responsible for shutdown temperatures. It allows you to manually set the temperature threshold upon reaching which the emergency shutdown for cooling. Too small a number set at this point leads to shutdowns even in the absence of dangerous heating. For example, at a threshold of 60 °C, the computer can work properly in winter (when the room is about +20 °C), but turns off in the summer (when the room temperature rises to +25-30 °C).

The processor overheats: what to do after studying the reasons?

When The processor on the computer is overheating, what to do?– depends on the cause of overheating. All of them are listed above, all that remains is to diagnose. To do this, you need to disassemble the computer or laptop and get to the coolers. With a desktop PC, this is easy - just remove the cover. In the case of a laptop, it is advisable to find video instructions for disassembly, or at least a manual in pictures. Before disassembling, it is recommended to discharge yourself from static electricity. The easiest way is to remove clothing that can “spark” in the dark, and touch a grounded object (for example, a battery) with your hand. You also need to get a tube of thermal paste.

Cleaning the cooler and replacing thermal paste

Radiators clogged with dust are difficult to miss.

1. They need to be disconnected and thoroughly blown with a vacuum cleaner or compressor.
2. It also doesn't hurt to clean the boards and other PC components, but you need to be wary of static electricity.
3. It is advisable to first clean everything with a brush made of antistatic synthetic material, and only then blow it under pressure.
4. When disassembling, you also need to evaluate the condition of the old thermal paste: it should not be dry, hard or crumbly. If one of the signs is present, it is also guilty of overheating.
5. The old layer of paste should be wiped off, the top of the processor and the base of the cooler should be carefully wiped with a napkin or rag.
6. New thermal paste is applied to the processor, this is done carefully and in a thin layer. In this situation, it is very easy to spoil the “porridge” with “butter”. The paste should smooth out the uneven surfaces of the crystal and cooler, but not cover them with a greasy layer.
7. You can smooth out the thermal paste and remove excess with a plastic card.
8. After applying the paste, you can return the cooler to its place and fix it.
9. After the correct installation has been verified, you can turn on the computer and test it for overheating. For this we need HWMonitor programs(to view temperatures) and LinX (to create maximum load per processor).
10. If temperatures are normal (not higher than 70 °C for a desktop PC or 75-80 for a laptop) and the computer does not turn off, the problem is solved.
11. If temperatures do not exceed 60 °C, but the PC turns off, you need to go into the BIOS (press Del, F1, F2 or another button specified in the instructions when turning on), find an item there like PC Health, Hardware Monitor, Termal Config (again, you need to look at the instructions for the specific board) and look at the Shutdown Temperature column in it.
12. If it is enabled and specified low temperature– you need to turn it off or set the threshold to 70-75 °C for a desktop PC, 75-80 °C for a laptop PC.
13. Then press F10, save, reboot and run the test again. If this does not help, the reason is the cooler.

The processor still overheats, what should I do?

If after cleaning it still doesn't matterThe processor overheats and the computer turns off, what should I do?Further, it depends on the diagnosis. You need to evaluate the condition of the heat pipes on the cooler (if any). If any suspicions are found, the radiator and tubes should be replaced. If the radiator is without tubes, machined from a solid block of aluminum, and the processor is powerful, it is better to replace the cooler. Such “blanks” are only suitable for economical processors, such as Core i3 or Celeron, and for some AMD FX or Core i7 they are not enough.

For a desktop PC, you should select a cooler in regular stores, taking into account the type of mounting (socket), the maximum supported power (TDP) of the processor and the rotation speed. You can look at the TDP of your CPU on the manufacturer’s website (Intel or AMD), or check with a specialized computer resource. It is advisable to take cooling with a reserve. For a processor with a TDP of 60 W, you can buy a cooler rated for 80-100 W. For a 100-watt model, a cooling system for a CPU with a heat output of 120-140 watts would not hurt.

How much information did I process with something like this? search query, probably a thousand pages.

CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2

Motherboard: MSI K9N Ultra (MS-7250 v2), socket AM2, DDR2 memory.

With the onset of summer, it began to warm up and at 70 degrees the protection was triggered and the computer turned off, first at heavy games, in the end, even with Internet surfing. No matter how many times I ask why this happens, there are basically three answers:

1) install a more powerful cooler

2) vacuumed

3) replace the thermal paste, and apply a layer that is neither too thin nor too thick

To my objections that the computer was several years old and this cooler was always enough, there was practically no answer, there was not a speck of dust inside, I blamed the thermal paste 10 times. They advised me to buy a serious cooler, for example Ice Hammer, it really impresses, prices start from 1000 rubles.

There were also these versions:

4) overheats due to virus activity (I tried to scan with an antivirus, but during the scan the processor got hot and the computer turned off);

5) the temperature sensor on the processor has failed, the only solution is to improve cooling or replace the processor;

6) the motherboard has bent, which is why the cooler radiator does not press tightly against the processor and receives heat;

7) the processor starts to heat up if its contact arms are bent (yes, that happened);

8) “the south bridge can’t cope” (I touched the south bridge and went nuts - it’s hot, it burns my finger. I screwed a fan from an old processor cooler and a radiator to it south bridge became cold, but the computer still turned off due to processor overheating);

9) reading a forum about some kind of motherboard and overheating AMD processor on it, I discovered this solution to overheating - put cardboard under the processor along the edges, so it will rise and press closer to the radiator, i.e. over time, the motherboard could sag under the processor and the cooler would not press tightly (I did this on my computer, it did not help);

10) I read the overlocker forum on MSI motherboards, it turns out my motherboard may have problems with copying large files and when connecting the hard drives to the IDE connector, the computer turns off (I must say I didn’t notice this on my computer, but I followed the recommendations to fix the bug - I changed the BIOS settings and wanted to resolder the C565 condenser, but couldn’t find it);

11) a gap has formed between the processor cover and the crystal, you need to remove the processor cover and put the cooler radiator directly on the crystal (tin, of course)

I bought a special POST card for diagnosing motherboards, the POST card showed no errors.

After many other ways to fix the problem, I decided to open the processor, especially since I had doubts about its condition and I was not afraid of breaking it completely. The processor cover is glued very tightly with rubber sealant; when opening it, two elements under the cover were crushed by me... I had to look for a new used processor (such processors are no longer produced)...

I found out that you can insert an AM3 socket processor (next generation) into the AM2 socket and in most cases it should work, although not in full force, I was of course happy because... this is an opportunity to do a step-by-step upgrade, but as it turned out, MSI did not write a BIOS with AM3 support and all its clients fail (I don’t want MSI anymore, why can other boards do this, but MSI board No?).

Well, with the purchase of the A3 processor it was a bummer, I had to buy a used AM2, I bought a more powerful one.

I installed it and was sad - it also gets hot and the computer turns off, took it out....

It's all in vain, mate. the board probably needs to be changed, or maybe buy it first powerful cooler? It’s hard to believe that it will help because... The processor is heating up like an iron... I’ll take it to a service center for diagnostics and see what they say.

And then I remembered about programs for optimizing the operation of the cores of the dual-core Athlone processor, supposedly they improve its performance. I found 2 on the Internet similar programs: "AMDcpuv1.3.2.6.exe" and " AMD Dual- Core Optimizer v 9.0.333.0.exe."

I installed both at once and a MIRACLE happened!!! The processor temperature began to drop, dropping by 20 degrees at once. NO REPLACEMENT OF COOLER!!! Now the temperature is 30-40 degrees, during games - 53!!!

This is how it happens, software, not hard, helped eliminate the overheating problem.

PS: the processor cover turned out to be a good-quality copper plate, it was pressed well to the crystal, there was thermal paste. I don’t see the point in opening the processor and I don’t recommend doing it. Now you can make a keychain from the lid.

This is what the processor looks like disassembled:
