Hi, i recently built my new machine and was wondering about the temps it should run at.

the specs are

2600+ AMD Athalon XP
Gigabyte GA-7VA-C
512mb DDR333 Ram

it runs at about 40C idle and about 50C full load.

is this normall or a bit high, if its high how can i get it down, it is cooled by two fans, yourl see how below but if it is still runnning hot how can i get it down?

p.s that image was large ill try this one

how do i find out my cpu's temp?

Well madeyalook, you can normally see your system and CPU temps in the bios, under the heading PC health status or something along those lines

hi,
this made me chuckle, while reading through my mobo manual i came across one of the features, it says that when the CPU reaches a critical temp the system shuts down. oOo i thought might be handy, untill i read down the page the temp the cut off is set at on my board is 110C. Hmmm i think it may have cooked by then.....

hmmm, 65 for a 450 seems hot too me, i used to be able to get my 1.0ghz duron to run at 30c idle and 35c full load.
