hey, my daughter plays this "tibia" game online, and that heats up my 2.4a to a whopping 55-58c. when I play generals for hours, it only gets to 45-7. whats the gig????? system usually runs at 34-6, right now cuz its o/ced to 2.7. but even at stock 2.4 speed this will happen........any ideas??? have lots of air flow, running stock hsf, 350w--psu; radeon 7500. .......thx


Is this "game" using that much of my resources???

Do a test with something like setiathome... Run your proc at 100% for a bit and see how high it gets.
