Hi welcome to the forums.
I don't know how that is possible, post more information about your system.

what cpu/heatsink/fan/motherboard? Where are your fan/s positioned? Is your fan blowing onto the heatsink or sucking it away from?

I think he's asking you how your getting the temperature? Motherboard Monitor? Digital Doc etc.
PS Keep the fan on

Ohh
, well if i keep my fan on, it gets hotter, I don't know why. I am getting my temperture from SpeedFan 4.08, I just downloaded Sandra, It says 67 degrees Is a bigger heatsink better?[edit]
It is staying around 60-63 degrees looking at Sandra,
SpeedFan says 53 degrees. It just started this today.

Well I'm no rocket scientist but I can tell you that Speedyfan isn't giving you true readings.
Does the current heatsink look like this?
Nice replacements that will perform better could be a Alpha or Swiftech heatsink or there are many cheaper products out there that will outperform the Factory heatsinkl

Yea it looks like that except smaller . I guess I will try to convince my dad to buy me a better heatsink and maybe a better fan . Well, Sandra is reporting 54 degrees, I'll let it go all night to see if it straigntens up. If not, I'll go pick up a new heatsink and fan. Thanks for all the help.
[edit]
Oh, where do I put more fans if I decide to buy extra fans?

Or if your dad says thats to much money maybe something like this

Sounds like your getting an ambient temp, the fan is off ='s cooler air around it ='s lower temps
Now the fan is on, ='s warmer air blowing off of hs ='s higher temps.

I dont understand why we're telling him to buy more fans, if it's stable it's stable, and he's not overclocking.
Just a reminder folks, not everyone has the knowledge or the desire that we do.
Your computer will not run faster with a new heatsink....

But you can make it run faster... and more stably with larger cooling solutions...

He inquired if a bigger and more efficient heatsink is better, and with temps possibly at 67* IMHO a new copper heatsink would ease his mind and cool his celey nicely. No it's not a necessity but it wouldn't hurt

why hasnt anybody suggested that he look in the bios for the temps?
if anything, it will always be more accurate than any software program.

Well, guess he has to start somewhere. Just breaking open the case and changing a hs/f may get him interested enough to explore other avenues.
We're like drug dealers, nab em while their young...
