I have a 6 month old system that is still under warrenty:
P4 2.5 (512kb cache, 400FSB)
P4s8x-x motherboard
512 DDR PC333
80G hard drive
ATI 9200se 128MB
underload temperature
cpu:45-50C motherboard:27-30C room temperature: 20C
full load temperature
cpu:55-58C motherboard:31-33C room temperature:24C
fan speed = 2500RPM
At summer, my room temperature can reach 33C, and stay that way for 5 or 6 weeks.
I am not such a computer expert so I am not so sure if I have a heat sink on my cpu or not. I opened up the case, but I am not sure what a heat sink looks like.
I plan to use my system another 3-4 years.
Is this temperature too hot?
Will my cpu survive the 33C summer?
Do I need to get a new cooling system?
Do I need to lower my core speed?
by the way, I am not a gamer, so speed is not really that important, I can live with 2.1 or 2.2
