Ok, so heres the problem:

My computer started freezing pretty bad a while ago and I decided to check the CPU temperature from BIOS. I got a 2.0Ghz P4 (not over-clocked), with standard heatsink/cooler and its running very high temperatures. Even up to 90 degrees celsius (194 F).

Even as new (a year and a half ago) the CPU was running something like 70 degrees celsius (158 F) after playing THPS 3 for while. I dont have a case fan but it shouldnt make this kind of diffrence? Now I'm thinking about getting a decent fan for the case (hell, maybe even two while I'm at it) and a good, quiet CPU heatsink/cooler (like one of these http://www.aerocool.com.tw/aerocool-...oler/ht101.htm).

But will this make a real diffrence to get it running normal temps like 45 celsius (a little over 100F)?


WOW 90 degrees is not good, it will not last long under these kind of temperatures, try getting a volcano cpu fan, that should fix ur problems, I wouldnt get anymore than 2 fans for the case, because it tendds to get noisy, I went out of bought 3 fans for mine and a few months ago I thought that I would test out just one fan, and there was no temp rise at all, the other 2 are useless, they were just creating noise.
