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?

24213 2001-11-12 03:12:00 check the cpu utilization. u may have a background app that is running the cpu at 100%.

clean out the heatsink. check the fan speed, dos it sound noisy?. same goes for case/power supply fans. also check the pc can get a supply of cool air and it can exhast it away from the air intakes.

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?
