i have a custom built pc with an intel pentium 4 2.4ghz and i was wondering if this temperature is safe 52 degrees celcius 125 degress farinheit my computer is not overclocked i am running 512 memory and two burners and two hard drives is this safe i also have a 300 watt power supply thanks
I'm not sure how hot P4s usually run as I've never had an intel rig before. I do know that you're not in any danger of it burning up or anything like that. 52°C seems a bit high to me but hardly dangerous. I'm sure someone that are more familiar with P4s could help you out.
should i add another fan its a brand new processor and mother board i dont think that my fans are bad
what is system temp & how many fans. my 2.4 celeron is about 35c & system is 33c with total of 9 fans
i have 2 fans one on power supply and one on processor my temp when computer is first booting up is 50c
put a couple of case fans into case, 1 pulling air in from front & 2nd to expel air in back. what is motherboard. make certain heatsink is actually sitting on cpu not partly on bracket
my board is an ecs 848p-a will that heat hurt my computer till i get another fan or should that be ok for a while thanks
should be allright til new fans put in. i'm running ecs p4vxasd2+ board. possibility that the heat sensor is not reading temp properly as ran into that problem before on p3-450 with 12c difference with same cpu but 2 different boards
Did you purchase your heatsink with the CPU or was it purchased seperately? I ask because, with a decent heatsink you can carve off 10 degrees without the need for additional fans. If it is an Intel heatsink (supplied with CPU), then yes as others have stated: Check seating/connection of heatsink and HTC paste/pad Check airflow into case Is the case a MIDI or FULL tower Does the PSU push warm air into the intake of CPU fan? With MIDI, PSU can sit directly over the top of CPU fan - thus restricting airflow and pushing warm air into CPU - either larger case or additional fans....................
