But I dont know if it is running too hot because its 55'C.
I dident make the computer so I dont know what heatsink/Fan I have got in.
If there is a program 2 tell you can U give me a link or tell me the program name and is my Computer running too hot

First off, air flow in a case is key for cooling. If you dont have cool air in you wont cool a cpu. So you want to make sure first of all you have AT LEAST 1 fan pulling in and 1 fan pushing out, And the power supply fan doesn't count. Next after you have determined you have good air flow through the case you should look at the heat sink and fan. It is mostlikely the stock AMD one. You should replace this with a better aftermarket HSF setup. If you cant because of money constraint, you should at least pull off the HSF and find out if there is any thermal compound on it. There is probably a thermal pad on there. Those are junk. Go to the local computer store and get some artic silver or the off brand that contains the same stuff. Compusa has 2 tubes for 9 bucks. Then use that. Follow the directions at http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm That should lower your temps.

What brand computer is this? What brand of case? If it is a small case you may need to get a bigger case to get the cpu and HSF out from under the Power Supply. You will have to open the case to determine what HSF is on the chip. Like CSaddict said is is most likely a stock hs supplied by AMD. They work well enough to secure the warrenty but if you are OCing even a little you should change it.

I assume you are getting your temp readings from the bios page. You should install Motherboard Monitor to get temp readings while the computer is under a load. You may be surprised at how hot your rig is running under a 100% load.
