| First build in the process--Problems
Hello, I'm in the process of building my first E6300 system.
I check the bio, and I noticed that I had a very high CPU temp, around 65-80.
Also, whenver I first turn on my pc, all the fans would start to spinning except my CPU fan, about 5 seconds after I turn on my pc, the cpu will start to spin...is this normal?
Another thing is that in the bio pc health statu, the cpu fan speed would be something like 1600-1800, however, it's shown 0 for the system fans.
This is my first build, please help me out along the way |

| Can you take a picture, straight down, of the case with what you've done so far? A nice big picture so we can check your fan wiring.
And are those temps in F or C?

Yes 65-80°C (it must be °C since if it were F it would be rather cold temp for a CPU running on air cooling, and if it is in fact F then you're fine it's running great  ) is rather warm. What heatsink fan (HSF) assembly did you use? If it was aftermarket did you apply the proper amount thermal grease (according to the instructions).
As for CPU fan running, check your BIOS settings to see if you have the motherboard's fan controller enabled, those controls often changes the fan speeds according to the temperature sensed. If it is enabled try disabling it.
If your system fans are running, but the fan status in the BIOS shows that their RPM is zero, it is probably because the fans do not have a RPM sensor and does not report RPMs to the motherboard. If this is the case there's nothing you can do but replace them with models that do report RPM status. If you can feel the fans moving a decent amount of air they should be fine. |

Well, the system fans is conncected to the psu, that's probably why it show 0.
As for the CPU fan, when I turn on my pc, it would make a spin or so, and then stop, and then right after about the beeps, it would start to spin again... |

Check the settings in your BIOS, maybe there is a setting where the fan is heat or someting controlled. Even so, Anything over 50 bothers me, personally. At the very heast you might want to check that fan out, in case it is defective, sometimes they get anemic and won't spin up.
Also, make sure that you have the CPU fan plugged into the CPU fan Connector of the otherboard. If it is connected to one of the other connectors, they might work off of case temperature, and that would me they wouldn't spin up as much/soon/whatever. ALWAYS use the CPU fan header for the CPU fan. Just check that to be sure you used the right one.
That is definitly too hot, 80 is not good, so you need to resolve this before you lose the chip or more. Good for you catching it, most first time builders would have overlooked that possibly.
Good luck.

I'm assuming your using the intel stock cooler. If this is the case, make sure you have it properly installed. The stock cooler requires a fair amount of pressure to 'click' the 4 pins in. If you pushed down on each thing, and you didnt hear two very small 'clicks', then you dont have it properly mounted. This has been a major issue for anyone using these things.
Also, as previously suggested, make sure you plug the CPU cooler's fan into the appropriate spot on the motherboard. This way the fan will run at whatever speed is needed to cool off the heatsink. |
