My proc idle temp is around 46° to 53° and it can increase to around 60° when playing games. I noticed after a few hours of surfing, my PC would become somewhat laggy. Could it be the high temperature that causing it? I'm using i3 2100 with stock cooler. Is it normal to have temp like this? HWMonitor Screenshot:» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Temperature is acceptable. Cleaning should not hurt. Surfing lag need to monitor resource usage. Can confirm with other browser.

The CPU temperature is look okay to me.
What is your system specs and OS?
Intel i3 2100 was released on 2011 and that make your system 4 years old. If you have upgraded your system from Win 7 to Win 8.1, then it is advisable to stay with Win 7. Win 7 is much faster OS for older machine.

TS ur fan rpm speed fully loaded should be quite noisy. time for re-thermal paste& i guess can drop until 30-40°c during idle mode.

Almost idle. Inside is cleaned of dust periodically. Room temp is normal not air conditioned. Temp will increase up to 70 when gaming. Nothing to worry about as the PC has gradual increase in temp since purchased new 4 years ago. Changing thermal compound would only help a little.

Thermal replacement shall be 3-year once. This replacement period gives you a big cooling to the CPU 75C+ is what you call hot.

I'm using i3 2100 8GB ram 500gb HDD HD 6950 550W PSU whoaaa...how did you know? I've been using windows 8.1 for a couple of month now(just trying) Do you think I should to revert back to window 7? I have no problem doing so. Windows 7 is good.

Can anyone suggest me a reliable cooler within the price range of RM50-RM70? What do you think about this: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Evercool Transformer 3

No. If you have done upgrade to windows 8.1 . Stay with it. I have been a tester for migrating windows 7 to 8.1 for corporate environment, my finding is that old PC do boot up faster with windows 8.1 .We even done test using Pentium D with 3GB of RAM. Fault is more tolerable in Win 8.1 , it can repair itself automatically most of the time and native USB 3.0 support . Win 8.1 already has built-in drivers for USB 3.0. The only thing I don't like about Microsoft new product is Office 2013, that thing launch like a snail these days compare to Office 2010. Since you are using an i3 , don't bother upgrading the CPU cooler, it is a waste of money. Stock one should suffice. Just clean off the dust and replace the thermal paste once in a blue moon. Your lag I supposed is due to application not hardware. This post has been edited by k!nex: Mar 2 2015, 08:04 AM
