My CPU temp is around 35/40 degrees C idle, my gfx card is around 50. are these gd temps? i was wonderin with the cpu if it would help applying any more thermal paste, anyway any help is always much appreciated.

You do not have to worry about your temperatures.

35/40 degress C for the cpu idle is pretty good temperatures. Mine runs around 22-60 it always changes. But what do you expect? I have a emachine LOL. If you are not satisfied or having problems with overheating, try adding a case fan.

[ultimateslacker2]

You too!

your emachine runs that high at idle . mine stays around 35c without thermal paste, highest is been so far is 41c. im ordering some thermal paste though. its only a 1.8ghz

[Keith Lemon]

exactl y u have a 1.8ghz cp, i think im guna be sick
i feel like [bleep] fffs
smm, dnt ever get drunk#1 but yeam thers a big difference. cpu 1,8ghz sdhu stay around tht temp i expect itx veyr low, is it a laptop? anywa i best be suick nd go to sleeep. dnt get drunk kids!

Ive got the stock eMachines t6536 (with an added ATI x1600 Pro 512MB video card) and my temperatures idle are at about 10-15 and get to about 40-55 depending on what game im playing (overglocked of course )

[Serrik]

How did you manage to get your idle temperature 5 to 10 degrees lower then the average indoor room temperature? Do you keep your computer in your fridge?

Water cooling

[AnthonyJ]

i plan on getting a watercooling system, 109 is the price tag american. i have a 2.6 ghz and 640mbs ram in my emachine board now running at 35. coarse, i have a 120 blowing directly on it from the side panel

[DeadEye]

My rig specs are in my profile. Overglocked video card to 768MB when playing BF2. (still runs at 54 after 3 hours or so!)

[HPDV8315LOVER]

My computer runs at least 45c with my Everex with 1.25GB of RAM and Geforce 7600GS 512MB OverClocked and no problems with it.

water cooling is what you do when you have everything in your PC up to scratch and you are bored, otherwise spend the money on parts air cooling is more than adequate for any system.

idle temps arent what you bother about its load temps if youre load temp is above 60 you should probably do something, although you would never apply more thermal paste it doesnt quite work like that, its purpuse is to help bridge the microscopic gap between the heat sink and CPU heat spreader you only need a little too much actually increases the temperatures.

PS if you are getting drunk while sitting at your computer posting at a tech support forum you may have slight problem.
