CPU Tempreture

[Pepi12]

I have amd phenom II 4X 995 ~ 3.2ghz processor
I think that I have a problem with tempreture.

When its idle I speedfan reads 44C , When im playing games it jumps to about 65 C
IS that too hot?And if it is can it damage my processor?

Yes it is to hot. Try reseating your cooler with new thermal paste.

it IS too hot, and it CAN damage your processor, try rolli's recommendation or buy a new cooler

Which country do you live in? The ambient temperatures may be responsible for those numbers. It is normal for me however. My Intel C2D E7400 gives me 41C and 70C under Prime95 testing load. I live in India and the ambient room temperature in my country is always above 30C during the hot season.

So how serious is it?Could I continue to use my computer normally one more week or should I fix the issue ASAP?And how much time would it need to pass so the proccesor gets damaged?

I dont think that is the problem. I live in a moderate climate.

If that's the case, there is no need to be worried at all about the CPU. But the temperatures can be considered a bit on the high side. Try removing the heatsink fan, reapplying thermal compound after removing the old and then reseating it back. Also, cleaning the heatsink fan once in a while greatly improves with the cooling performance too.
If you have some bucks to spend, you can also go for an aftermarket CPU cooler like a Cooler Master Hyper 212+. Stock coolers do tend to be pretty lousy at cooling work.
