Hi,

I'm not new to computers but am new to this computer temperature thing. All I can say is that my CPU will reach up to 84'C when I'm playing a game (Battlefield 2).

I know this is bad.. as I have read this http://www.techsupportforum.com/content/Hardware/Articles/54.html and it states that CPU temps should not go over 60'C.. well, when it's idle it runs at 60'C ish.

I've lots of programs like SpeedFan. But I don't really know how to use them. Is there some way to increase the speed of the CPU fan?

If not, what should I do? Should I buy a new faster/better heatsink?

Many Thanks, Jake.
