I just built my computer with dual fans, and I'm afraid that it may be getting a little to hot in there, here are my tempatures (according to the BIOS):
Processor: 46C/114F
Zone1: 32C/87F
Zone 2: 34C/93F
My case also has an intenal tempature display on the front of the case that reads: 85.1F
Is all of this to hot for my case? Should I buy another fan? Or is it all okay? What tempature range should a processor be running at?
Thanks in advance
oh, and its a 3.0 GHz processor with 384 MB RAM (soon to be 1 GB when it comes in the mail) with a CD-RW and a DVD-ROM drive
Thanks in advance
Sounds fine.
My CPU(Athlon XP 1600+) is currently running at 45.5 C.
Aslong as it doesn't go over 60 C(probable instability), much over 70 C and you're risking physical damage(system should shut itself down if this is reached, incase of something like the heatsink fan failing to work).
If it's a P4, it'll be stable right up to 80C or something. Also, although not 100% sure, apparently the P4 will automatically slow down if it reaches critical levels and speed up when it cools down.
That'd require a motherboard to adjust the speed, which isn't likely.Quote:
