I was just wondering what temp a P4 HT 3.2Ghz Prescott should be running at...

These are my current PC's temps according to Everest Home Edition, i'm kinda worried.

Motherboard 47C (117F)

CPU 91C (195F) 100% usage (I had Sins Minimized)

Aux 31C (88F)

GPU 55C (131F) AGP 7600GT

HDD 47C (117F).

My PC is going to be 4 years old this year and I don't really have the money to buy a new one anytime soon... I've only ever bought 1 512mb stick and a 7600GT for it, it's still in the same case and using stock cooling.

EDIT: CPU Fan Speed 2722 RPM

Maybe its time to dust it with compressed air, WoW 91C ! The thing about Intels that they underclock themselfs to protect from dying from overheating so ethier the temperature monitor is wrong or theres something wrong with your CPU cooling(fan or thermal paste.

Thanks for the reply,

After a good 30 minutes of playing Sins Of The Solar Empire the framerate seems to slow right down so I guess this must be the P4 trying to stop itself from dying rather than it just being too weak for the game?

Anyways, I shall pick up a can of compressed air ASAP... thanks again. :)

Even for a damn Prescott, 91c way too hot.

Theres definitely CPU throttling going on.

Prescotts should be running below 68C
