My CPU temperature during while just running windows, not doing anything hard is 70c or 158f degrees, please, please, please help, im not even turning on my computer
you can add an extra cooler over the cpu cooler or change/reseat the heatsink on the cpu or your sensors have gone bogus.
Oh..ain't that the oven you're lookin at? the oven may have a high temperature even if the pc is not turned on!!!! :haha: <- that was a joke
i edited my post i understood what he tryed to say.
i think he ain't turning on the pc because he's afraid of the high temp.
What CPU do you have? For some cpus, 70c isn't too high at all.
Assuming that 70c is in fact too high, first make sure all your case fans are spinning, then buy yourself a can of compressed air and get all the dust out of there.
I meant i didnt want to turn the pc on in fear of overheating it.
Mine processor is a pentium 4 3.00 ghz 1 a half years old
PS my second computer is using a pentium 4 3.01 ghz and its temp is 45 c, my friends computer is running a pentium 4 3.00 ghz and he has a temp of about 45 c as well
Those temps are dangerous unless you have a Prescott CPU. If you have a Northwood P4, they're DAMN high.
If you have a Prescott P4, they're "normal". Of course try to reseat the heatsink and apply new arctic silver 5.

Actually that is high for a Prescott at idle.and near the high end of acceptable under load. P4 Prescotts will shut themselves down at 80C. MY P4 prescott runs at 45C at idle and 50C with a 100% load (thanks to MY BTX case). He defently needs to do something about cooling.
