Am I running too hot?
 

Hey guys i recently put together a new computer and my board came with a sensor program and i have been checking up on my CPU temp. Its one the new Celeron D processors and i am consistently running at 49 degrees celesius for the processor and at about 33 degrees for my system temp. I am using the fan and heatsink that came with the processor and dont have a front mount fan at the moment. The whole idea with this computer is to keep it quite. So if i am running to hot could you guys suggest a quite front mount 120v fan and a nicer heat sink.

Thanks

49 ain't too high, esp for a celeron :)

if u that bothered then buy a £10 h/s & fan combo and it'll sort u out, no point in really goin to town on a celeron, they can take alot (not as much as old cyrix cpu's tho, aaaaah, the good ol days :) )

Good old days? Cyrix? Ugh.

Pkeigs,

Is that without load, or are playing games or something CPU intesive? If you are I would probably follow up with some additional cooling.If it isn't a gaming machine or something like that, you should be okay running that. ( since it is a celeron, I'm going to assume it isn't a gaming machine)

49 celsius is a great temperature. You have nothing to worry about.

Bamrak, it is a Celeron D, so it won't be *too* bad at gaming. :) Much better than the old Celerons anyway!

Its not a bad processor!! Haha, I couldnt find a 2.4 GHZ P4 at the shop that i was getting everything at and it couldnt wait to order one online because i was heading up to School.
I might do moderate gaming. I am beta testing World of Warcraft so I might be playing that a little bit but other than that i want it to burn with.

Thanks for the help
