My pc, it`s getting kinda warm..

[soserious]

i don`t remember it being like that before. Is it ok?
I don`t want it to crash and ahve to have it repaired with all my personal stuff on it..

Does your mobo have temperature sensors? Most do.

[Clockers]

Not sure!

[soserious]

Huh? ..........

[ColdShroom]

Most motherboards have temperature sensors.. you should be able to monitor the CPU temp, and the enclosure temperature. If you don't have the 3rd party app to view it from within your OS, you should be able to read it from within your computer's BIOS.

I mean, how is anyone here going to tell you how hot your computer is. Reboot, and check to see if you have any health monitoring in your BIOS.. Record the temperatures.. report back.

In other words ss is saying once again' Huh? :lol:

[ColdShroom]

Computer details? CPU speed?


SS. You're asking if you're computer is too hot.

How the fuck could any of us know?

Most computers have onboard temperatures sensors, which can read the temperatures of the CPU, and often the cabinet temperature of your enclosure.

You can usually find these read outs from within the computer's BIOS.

You know what the BIOS is, right? Usually hit ESC, or some function key, during the POST.

What isn't clear here..?

Now if your computer doesn't have these sensors, well.. disregard what I said.. :neut:

Plug your tungsten tipped Faraday sensor into the rear Northbridge OQS port and take a lateral millispacial reading reading every 5 seconds. If it exceeds 9.7 ppqs then you need a new centrifugal cooling adaptor otherwise I'd leave it.

Man all the previous posts were halarious. SS, take the cover off your computer, after shutting down and blow all the dust out of it. The fans used for cooling are notorious for collecting dust bunnies (I'm surprised that one didn't turn up) and thus restrict the air flow inside the CPU box, causing the system to heat up.

Man I'm still laughing :lol: :lol: :lol: Grrrrr...... Admins, now they tell me I can't post more than 15 happy faces!

I really don't see where I'm being unclear.. unless you guys are pulling my leg.

Your computer has a built in thermometer, probably 2 of them. One sits below the CPU, and one is somewhere else on the mother board, which monitors the temperature of the inside of your case.

You can read what the thermomter is measuring by turning off you computer.. turn it on.. Your computer should display a message right at powerup that says something like 'Press ESC key for BIOS'

Press it, and you should go into your computer's BIOS. (Basic Input Output System) In here you'll have a number of menus from where you can set various low level things of your system, and you SHOULD also be able to view the Health Monitoring. CPU temp, fan speeds, etc.


Unless things are different over there..

Really.. just what isn't clear? You guys are havin' me on.. right?

[oldwhiteguy]

If they're having one on you, they've got me too. I've seen this when running bios, so your not dreaming.
