This is my pc's specs :
Intel D920 dual core
Intel D945gpm Motherboard
1Gb of ramm on dual channel (2X512mb)
160gb hdd
6600GT DDR 3 PCI Express 128mb .
400wt psu
This is my problem :
My cpu is idling at about 55-60 and when i play games it goes up to 75 :hotbounce .(My graphics card's gpu idles at 48 and when i play games , eg FEAR at full graphics ecsept for soft shadows, it goes max to about 57 - But my cpu goes up to 75 !!!) I have a Thermaltake Blue orb 2 which is mounted on my cpu but it doesnt make a difference . I have applied a small drop of thermal paste in the middle , not too much or too little . There was a time when the cpu was idling at 42 degrees but i had to redo my windows , and never saw that temp again. I also heard intel as this new speed something driver ,that decreases heat by using less power or something , but my latest bios update doesnt have it in there yet .
What should i do to keep the temp down :knock: ???
