Im in need of help, right now im running a E6400 with stock cooler (no OC), and its running at about 50 C idle and 56 C when gaming (ambient temperature recorded by my nVidia display panel is 42 C), I know its not critical temperature but my computer stays running nearly 15 hours daily and im afraid in the long run this will damage my CPU. Fan is usually at around 900-1100rpm (and I know it can go higher, because I've seen it run at 1800rpm when gaming).
I've tried tinkering with Speedfan to increase fan speeds but to no avail, Im currently using an intel D946GZIS motherboard and had a "System Fan Control" option enabled, which I just disabled, but it didn't increase fan speeds.
The reason im a bit alarmed is because I was reading that the CPU threshold is at about 60 C and speedfan shows either a blue arrow or green checkmark for every other temperature except my CPU (which shows a flame icon), and Im assuming that it means that my CPU is hotter than it should be.
Any help will be tremendously appreciated.
