I stripped my PC out the other day,front intake fans have been cleaned,2 exhaust fans also.Gave a quick blast with compressed air over the CPU and GPU.Then something dawned on me,I thought "its been a long time since I applied some cooling paste to my CPU" , I looked under the chip and the paste has practically gone,relying solely on the heat sink instead (themal paste reduces temps by about 10%) .Having said that,my CPU temperature at peak load (especially with this version of SHIII) is between 60 and 65 degrees,inside the critical threshold for P4 CPUs.Critical range for p4 CPUs is 70-75+ degrees
As I am working online right now my internal temps are peaking at 40 degrees,this is my working load,idle is 28-30 deg.System boot is a cool 25 deg.
No I think it was one of those moments,yet...I am keeping an eye on this.
Thanks.
