I have a cheep dell so I can upgrade to anything thats great. I bought a NEW cpu, the amd x2 6000+ 3.1gHz 89W cpu, while trying to install the heatsync it came with i failed.. because dell does retarded stuff to thier mobos so people won't be able to upgrade. So since i couldnt put new heatsyn i left the old 1 of the old AMD 3200+ cpu i had. With the old heatsync and fan im getting 30-35C while web browsing or doing nothing, while i play it goes to like 35-40c, are these temperatures normal? when is it that i should start getting worried? I wanna now if the old fan and heatsync is cooling the cpu properly. I also bought a new GPU, the HIS ATI 4850, and when its idle its in 60-62C that cant be normal, I also put CoD4 in max settings and left it running for a while to see if problems would occer, but everything was fine. Then a while later after i just left my pc on just running to see if everything was fine i get the blue screen.Can some1 tell me a good program for monitoring temperature. thanks.
Well , your CPU temps of 30-35C are just fine. With CPU's once you start getting into the 60C mark is when your getting too hot. A very good Temp program is CoreTemp.
GPU's are good till about the 80C mark but just sitting idle at 60C is a bit hot.

Thanks man.., i almost messed up my mobo messing around.. since im a noob i cleaned off the old thermal paste and put it to the cpu with none and started the pc, then my fans started going crazy and i was getting 55-60c just being in my desktop doing nothing... i put some back and now its in 35-36c idle... before it use to be 30c idle... damn i wish i didn't mess around.. now its 5c higher..
The 4850 runs pretty hot. Did you set the fan or did you leave it on auto? For me my 4850s idle at around 54-56C at 50% and as far as I know most of them with stock coolers are pretty hot.

I have it in auto, how do i customize fan speeds in the GPU?
