Is My Computer Getting To Hot

@Triadcool the air should be blowing towards the cpu

Typically, yes.
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 ?

[clocker]

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

Yeah but his heatsink is getting so hot that it burns his finger

Thats not normal.

When i touch my heatsink its just a tiny bit warm

Hey clocker so you have yours set up like this ??



I was thinking of doing that. Does it keep it cooler ?

[SciManAl]

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.
