...so 90+ degrees Celsius isn't a good thing?
From the day I powered my PC on (a little more than 2 years ago) operating temperatures of 85 - 90 degrees have been standard. I've never given much thought to internal PC cooling assuming that the manufacturer would account for this in the building process. I'm now having a few video problems and I would like to bounce several things off of someone. From what I've read thus far, high temps can adversely affect various internal components, but I haven't had any troubles (whatsoever) until recently. I'm wondering what I can do to ferret out and replace/address the culprit (I'm thinking P/S). Feel free to yell at me until I get this right.
Here are my system specs that I can remember:
P4 3ghz
1Gig (of some type of mem)
Radeon 9800 128 (pro?)
nothing else pertinent that I can remember.
