I am concerned that my computer is running abnormally hot. My HDD temps are 117F, 117F, and 129F, and my CPU is 115F, with each individual core running at 100F. This seems a little hot to me. Thus I come to you, as I am not sure what to buy to fix this problem. From what I've read I should get a new heatsink and case, but is that all i require?
Specs:
MOBO: Asrock A780GXE/128MB
CPU: AMD Phenom 9750 Quadcore
GPU: ATI Radeon 4870
HDD: 1 IDE, 2 SATA
RAM: 8 gigs DDR2
At the moment I have a stock heatsink and case, nothing special, and certainty not designed for a gaming rig. I am also looking to buy a better PSU. The one I currently have is 650W max, but it can't handle 2 GPU's, which I will probably invest in when I want to upgrade.
Please note: While I am not brand new to PC building, for the last several years I have had tech savvy friends build them for me, and it is only within the last 4 months that I have decided to be more of a rugged individualist and learn some of this stuff for myself, so please go easy on me if the parts I have aren't optimal Also, temperatures are in Fahrenheit! Thanks In advance for any and all help
