when i use TAT and i start workload Level my digital level temperature is very high over 84°C


what the prob is???

Did you assemble your computer yourself? If so, check that you are using a suitable heatsink for your processor; the old P4 coolers are mostly not sufficient for Core 2 Duo processors. Also check that you have applied thermal paste and that the heatsink is secured to the motherboard and the fan is spinning.





If you bought your computer pre-assembled, take it for troubleshooting if you don't want to open the casing. If you're fine with opening your casing, you can try the steps mentioned in the previous paragraph.





Also, dust might be a problem. You could try cleaning your heatsink and chassis with a can of compressed air to clear out any clogged dust. Never use a hairdryer for this because it might cause static damage to your computer.
Reply:The maximum CPU temperature is usually written on its body in a coded format – i.e. a letter added somewhere indicates what the CPU maximum temperature is. This code isn’t standardized; it varies accordingly to the CPU. On the CPU datasheet, which is available at the manufacturer’s website, there is a section that explains the coding used on the CPU, which includes the CPU maximum temperature.





This temperature is the maximum temperature the CPU can work without burning. The lower the CPU temperature, the better. Good quality CPU coolers and the correct use of thermal grease will make your CPU to work way below its maximum rated temperature.
