yep, I had a couple of them, used to reheat my fluffy buns from the heat; but I had the 1800, 2600, 3200
you should be able to find a prog to monitor the temp for you and I'm sure the more sophisticated the prog the more options it'll give you as far as the alarms are concerned.
does yours run that hot?? I know my hard drive puts off some heat...I could cook an egg on top of the case where the hard drive is
I can't imagine that being a good thing or even normal but I'm not sure if LT's run much hotter than DT's. what' the CPU though? I think for the most part < = 60 would be preferred.
wow 70C.. Maybe use some good thermal paste and cooling fan.. I got my Quadcore Extreme running at around 40C.
Do you have a Gigabyte motherboard? I used to gel readings of around 70 degrees C, then I read somewhere that there is a fault with some BIOS settings or something, and that the motherboard over-exaggerates the temperature by about 10-15 degrees. Matt
What you need to do is go and buy some compressed air and clean the inside of your computer out, also check to make sure you don't have any spyware/malware running, they can hog the CPU and cause it to max out. When I had this problem, I replaced my PSU and it fixed it....(PSU was overheating).
I am with talkfreelance. Spyare or malware can hog the CPU, kill the pc resources and your processor will be overheat. Therefore, i would suggest scan your pc with antivirus/antispyware first before you proceed further with hardware upgrading.
