Hey Guys..
I just built my desktop but have been noticing that it is running hotter than I expected. I had a AMD 3500+ 2.2 Ghz before this and it ran at around 40 degrees core temperature.
My current configuration:
Intel x6800 2.93 Ghz
ASUS P5E3 Deluxe Motherboard
2 GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA 8800GT
2 Hard Drives
2 DVD Drives
At idle my computer runs at around 54 degrees (measured using Core Temp) core temperature. At full CPU load the core temperature is steady at 64 - 65 degrees for the past hour. Is the idle temp too high? What should I check for?
Thanks
