Running Hot

[Dooley]

I have just finished building my new computer and I have found its running hot temperature wise. Its usually around 51 *C when i have open a game, 1 internet explorer and a a monitoring utility and about 35-38 *C idle. Is this running to hot or just about rite. I only have the stock cooler, 1 back case fan, 1 side case fan and a big 12cm front fan.


My spec- (might help)

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 (x2 2.5Ghz) with stock cooler
XFX Geforce 8600GT XXX edition 256MB
160GB Sata 2 HD
MSI K9 Neo-F Motherboard
2Gb Geil 800Mhz DDR2 Ram (CAS4)
DVD Rom
DVD RW
Fan Controler
Ezcool 550W PSU
5 USB 2.0 PCI card

It's running cooler than you think. You're using a stock cooking which isn't the best but it works.

With those temps, you don't need to worry.

I'll be happy to have those temps...

what program is that?

download coretemp (http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/) and post temps or a screenshot.

but it doesn't seem all that hot.

Spawn, when i tried to use the core temp it said that it was not a Intel processors and would not continue. And he had AMD procs.

i know but i was told it works on some amd's. it doesn't even work on all intels so i figured it was a shot.
