| 24212 | 2001-11-12 00:42:00 | I have a celeron 333 and the cpu temp is reported as 44C in bios, this seems a little high to me and only a few weeks ago it was 38C. Not too much activity going on, just browsing, running a few apps and some gaming. Is this a dangerous temp and if so what can I do to cool it down? |

| 24215 | 2001-11-12 05:47:00 | Thx for responses, well powersupply seems ok as I had it replaced a few months ago, but I will check cpu heatsink and fan. I've also noticed my box is a bit of a mess with cables running everywhere. Also what about having the case off? is that a good idea or better to leave it on? |
