My previous sytem with almost the same specs ran (according to the BIOS temp readout) at around 35 degrees consistently. I think he does have a heating problem. Somewhere else I've read that if he puts a desktop fan at full blow towards the innards with the case cover removed, and gets a lower temperature reading, then he'll know that it's air circulation and/or case ventilation that's the problem. But of course it could simply be the ambient temperature of the room - he said "lately" and of course, lately it's been summer. [edit] Doh! Just read the more recent posts and realised I repeated a lot of what's already been said! :xmouth:	Greg (193)
424558	2006-01-28 07:10:00	Thank you guys! :) I will read all your suggestions once more and then decide what to do. My machine does not have any case fans. Just the PSU and the CPU heatsink fan. In the meantime I'll have a little holiday and it might be different after a week's break?! Gion	notechyet (4479)
