Hi All
Ok, so about a year ago I built my first PC. I used an Asus P5GDC motherboard and an Intel LGA775 P4/3 GHz CPU.
From the beginning, my CPU ran hot...idled in the high 50's and would get to the high 70's when it was loaded down.
Within the past month, the cooling pefromance has decline. If I'm doing anything computationally intensive, the CPU temp routinely gets to 80 or 81 degrees C which then sets off an alarm.
My case has 4 fans in it so the air flow should be ok.
Has anyone out there experienced this? If so, what is the best solution?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
