When I opened up my computer after it had been running for about 2 hours and I touched my processor to see how hot it was and it burnt the fuck out of my finger. Is it ok to be this hot. Could this be what is making my computer get so many BSOD?

No! It should never be so hot you cant touch it!!!!! What heatsink/fan are you using? What temps are you gettin on the healthcheck on your BIOS?
around 130 to 140 degress Ferenheit.
and that in degrees c is? my heatsink sometimes is rather hot (only if i run the fan @ lowest rpm though) but my cpu temp is around 40c :)
Thats 50-60 degrees C. Not a good temp in my opinion. Sort out your cooling - what heatsink/fan are you using???? Where did you get your pc from?
I have a Antec heat sink. I only have 2 fans the heat sink and the one built into my power supply. How do you run your heatsink at high rpms?
50-60 is normal running temperature, if it starts running over that at full-load then its a little worryQuote:

if you want to be safe buy a 80mm case fan from E-buyer only for £5, helps a treat
Actually, that's 54-60C, which is on the high side for an Amd processor and way too high for an Intel cpu, in both cases assuming normal usage. Make sure everything is clean in the cooling equipment (particularly cpu fan and heatsink).
If you remove the heatsink, make sure you remove the old thermal pad with a wooden or plastic scraper followed by cleanser, then either add a new pad or use good thermal paste.
@Triadcool, by any chance, is you computer overclocked?
Nope
i just installed my 80mm sys fan and my sys temp is still kinda hot, around 48-50 degrees celcius always...
Depending on where you put it and whether is exhausting hot air or bringing in fresh air, of course.Quote:

Airflow in cases can be tricky...simply adding another fan randomly may make things worse.
Sounds like the cooler is not doing its job. What model of Antec cooler is it? Perhaps the cooler needs to be cleaned or replaced with a more effective one.
Triad,
You might also remove the HS and check the impression of the CPU in the thermal paste.
Make sure you are getting full, even contact between the chip and the heatsink.
If the heatsink is so hot then a suspect that the heat transfer between the CPU and heatsink is effective. It's more like the heat is not being effectively removed by the fan.

50-60 is still high dude. i have stock intel heatsink and cooling fan, and i get around 34 deg C idle and 44 deg C load
yes, but you have a P4
I dont know which mobo you have, but try a bios update.
Sometimes its just a wrong reading from the sensors.
And temps around 48-50 degrees are okay for an amd system.
Altough mine runs at 35/36 degrees celcius idle and 40 degrees stressed.
cheap case fans form ebuyer (£1.13 i think they are atm) are great! :)Quote:

Also triad, what processor do you have, and the heatsink and fan is stock you said?
But also, although those temps are about what I have, their still a hair higher than mine, and mine is even overclocked, something is indeed awry.
Do you happen to know what your case temprature is by chance Triad? It doesnt help that much when your case is running say, 35C, for the hot air coming off the heatsink and pushing off of the fan, to be pushed around in already hot air.
I have a Amd athlon processor and no the heat sink isnt stalk. My computer was built for me by this guy.
it's a minor issue, but something to consider is if it isn't a stock hsf, do you know what kind of thermal paste he put on it? if he put a generic paste on vs say a artic silver that alone can make the difference of 5 degrees C or so.
as for amd temps, i like to keep mine as low as possible. anything in the upper 50's or higher and i would be searching for some cooling methods...

to be safe i'd reccomend buying a new heatsink (they dont cost much anyways) and a new Case fan or 2 if your case has that option if u can get 2 fans place one as a exhaust and one to bring in air.
i no, but that's a bit big of a temp difference. wat's the temp range for amds? like how high is safe?Quote:

Sorry for saying this, but is the fan on the right way ??
Dont worry.......Perfectly normal.
Peace brotherdoobie
P.S. Most people underestimate cpu temps......Probaly
due to overclockers bragging about extremely low temps
in forums.....lol

Yes it is on right. How could you put it on wrong?
Thought u might have put the fan on upside down on the heatsink.
Thats strange how it gets hot.
Should the air be blowing towards the processor or out away from it?

the max die temp on a amd (1ghz+) is 95c and amd say anything upto 65c is reasonable, wouldnt let my cpu get anywhere near that though
@Triadcool the air should be blowing towards the cpu
Typically, yes.Quote:

Always, no.
My Zalman is just the opposite- it draws air through the heatsink and out...
Ok I have an image of most cpu's and their speeds heat etc how do I get it on here for you all to see besides uploading it tried copy & paste no good ?
You need to upload your image to a web host and then retrieve the URL from there.
Assuming the image is on your HDD of course.
If the image is from a website perhaps they don't allow hot linking?
Thanks that's what I seem to read will see what I can do.
Your Temp is fine.
If you want to lower it,the advice you are getting is also fine.
But realy that temp is with in safe operating range for AMD cpu's.
Idealy the lower the temp the longer the life of your cpu.
but at the temps you mentioned,I am willing to bet that your
cpu will last longer than you will want to keep it without upgrading it ;)
Peace brotherdoobie
lol, new fans needed
Yeah but his heatsink is getting so hot that it burns his finger :oQuote:

Thats not normal.
When i touch my heatsink its just a tiny bit warm
Hey clocker so you have yours set up like this ??
http://server2.uploadit.org/files/08...mall%20pic.gif
I was thinking of doing that. Does it keep it cooler ?
adding another fan like that will cause it to be cooler, but that also depends on what heatsink you have in place... Also if you have a well ventilated case, do you have a temprature measuring devise? if so put it in your case where the air flows, and see what the ambiet temp for your comp is... if it is high then you need more case fans, or more simply get a bigass 120mm and put it somewhere... Hope that helps!
Most motherboard already come with temp sensors for the CPU, AND the overall case temp.
Set up MBM, and im sure you can get it to monitor both.
But also, on the whole fan direction thing, from my personal expereience, its just how its setup, there is no one direction that everyone uses.
I know that on a 1.7 Celeron, and a 2.2 Celeron, and I would assume for most P4's, the fan blows air onto the Heatsink.
But on my AMD 2500+, it draws air away from it.
no, clockers got the zalman flower cooler, go search google, itll show you exactly how it works :)Quote:
