Hi,

Thanks for all your replys.

I got another case the other day (old one was 4 years old), and the i am now around 40-45c on desktop and around 45-50c on Call of Duty, have to wait for a more demanding game.

With them temps i am more at ease (at last... lol).

Thanks for all your advice & help.

Hi,

Cheers for the reply.

As far as i know it don't support that, but i will take a look in the manual as soon as i have 5 mins.

The mobo is "Asus P4S800".

I will get back to you all regarding the "thermal shutdown" and i will try to set the CPU lower if i can.

Hi,

I just had a go on C&C Generals - Zero Hour and it ran fine and with the following reported temps:
CPU from 73c to 75c
MOBO from 32c to 34c

I have got a more modern & demanding game someware but i'dd be damed if i cant find it (allways the same).

Regarding the post about the CPU slowing down, i have not had any noticed slow down in speed and the above post for the proggy to download, that was reporting the speed at 3.2ghz.

I did also restart the PC and took a look in the Bios to make sure that the settings were right (they are), i went into the hardware monitor and that was saying that the MOBO was 32c and the CPU was between 49c & 50c (more realistic).

Also when i was in the bois hardware monitor and i turned my CPU fan down to 1800rpm the CPU temp did start to rise whereas (sp) if i turn it down to 1800rpm whilst in windows the reported CPU temp don't rise at all.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks loads for your replys.

I am sure that the CPU is not being OC'ed as the option in the mobo bios is set to "3200" rather than "manual" for the CPU.

I will download the proggy posted above and give it a go - cheers.

I am also going to run C&C Generals - Zero Hour in a little while to see if the temp reported is changing very much.

Nope the temp being reported is not in F as thats 163f.

Will get back to you all with me findings - Cheers.

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply, good idea but i went and sold the old CPU like a turkey... LOL

Just been looking at this: http://cgi.ebay.co.u...ssPageName=WDVW

Don't know if it would be worth the cash, but then i guess it would if it will make the CPU live a little longer....
