what proc ur using?a few more +C Fried proc edii....erkk maybe ur casing airflow is terrible or programmes eating resourse making the proc do OT hence the temp.i presume ur using stok HSF rite?any thermal paste applied b4?

man, i am noob in pc thing, can you please explain to me or is there any place can explain what do you mean?

like proc? stok HSF? what programme shoud i use for this problem?

It's not a program that you can use

Proc = processor
HSF = HeatSink F i dunno

"i presume ur using stok HSF rite?" do you change anything inside your pc? are you using the normal heatsink that the processor give

Heatsink is like the fan ontop of your processor, it's job is to cool down your processor

Buy a 3rd party heatsink for like 200 bucks

Pentium 4 2.80 Ghz

I don't change anything inside my pc, using the heatsink of the proc, what should i add to cool it down? Man, today my pc auto shutdown due to the heat.

Take out your heatsink, clean it up thoroughly with a water jetstream, clean up the fan blades clean up the base of the HSF from any old thermal paste, clean up the IHS of your processor, put some new thermal paste at a size of a rice grain on top of the processor IHS, DON'T Spread the thermal paste by yourself, just put back the heatsink on top of your processor, and leave it lock the HSF to your motherboard, then everything is done.

By doing this, it should lower down the temps of your processor and stop the overheating.

Owh and by the way, it's good if you can use a good thermal paste such as Arctic Cooling MX-2.
Don't use those white ceramique thermal paste, they're crap.

or maybe >.> The HSF is not working? try on your pc and see if the fan rotates..if it doesn't thats the cost of your problem

no wonder i guess ur is the Prescot core.single core or p4 D as in dual core.i think ur stok@ORI intel cant cope with the temp.its time to look for 3rd party cooler if u wanna SAVE ur proc for being "OVERCOOKED"

Thanks guy, after using the method your guys provided, now the temp down to 48-54.

Just wonder, if the proc overheated too much, what will happen?

Whose method?

What will happen?
When the processor reaches it limits on heat, the motherboard will turn off everything.
But don't expect it to do the same thing over and over again by itself, as later on, one day you'll find your processor fried, then you would have to replace it with a new one.

Ya i also wonder what method?

overheated then later overcooked@KAPOOFF lorr....died....adios bye bye capishe?

also say to money BYE BYE

This one:

"Take out your heatsink, clean it up thoroughly with a water jetstream, clean up the fan blades clean up the base of the HSF from any old thermal paste, clean up the IHS of your processor, put some new thermal paste at a size of a rice grain on top of the processor IHS, DON'T Spread the thermal paste by yourself, just put back the heatsink on top of your processor, and leave it lock the HSF to your motherboard, then everything is done."

Good for again uncle shawty with his words of wisdom

im still have no time to play with my new HSF XIGMATEK from BULK...on this tuesday will be able to.

p4 2.59ghz
768 ram ddr400 (256+512)

i use speedfan to check the temperature
cpu 54C
internal 43C
remote 46C
HD0 46C

i never to install any extra fan into cpu ...
i would like to decrease the temperature, can someone to tell me hw to do?
i'm beginner of learning hardware

have u read before asking? plz try this method 1st then see what happens

just migrated to an intel rig from am2, wanna ask ar, what is the normal temps for the NB for p35 mobos? idle and load la...coz i have mine under orthos priming at 50c @ 1760fsb...is this normal?

Normal lah .. P35 tend to have hottler chipset result ....

so no choice, live with it or change a better cooler ...

thats' all ...

change ade..i zip tie strapped on an vc-re ade wor...with the gigabyte stock heatsink it goes up to 55c o.....but i cant seem to find the average idle and load temp on google...

Huh?
You're using Evercool VC-RE on your P35 chipset?

i just got my new sapphire HD 2600XT . avg GPU is 68.. izzit normal?

You mean load or idle ??

if idle than it's really hot coz my 2900XT also doesn't idel at 65c usually around 60c only
