I have posted about this a few times, but no one has given me a streight answer. For now i will skip all the stuff to lead to the hot temps and my trying to fix it and keep it simple.
Right now i have the side of my computer (Computer specs in sig). And i have a reg old floor fan (20 inches or so) running about 1/2 feet from the cpu and also going at full blast. With this going i am only able to get the cpu down to 50C or so [min i found was 46C (got to love MN winter air)] . From reading around on the forums i am thinking that the temp isn't that great. The thing that really bugs me though is that when i don't turn the fan on it runs only about 3C higher....but wait there is more...when running any program my temps start rising very fast. At 100% CPU it can get to about 60C. When running a brand new game i just got (won't name names) it got to about 75C and shut down . This has been going on for a few months and i am sure it has been going on before then but i just didn't check the temps. If ANYONE has ANYTHING that i can do i am open to it.
I am even open to the fact that i am just crazy and it isn't really a problem and i shouldn't post anymore. Thanks for looking and hope to hear back from you.
AMD64 and stock heatsink (never taken off).
