I have a Pentium 4 computer (2.Ghz) ( not overclocked DVD and CDRW, anyway my question is how hot should a computer get, or what is a good temperature for it to be at. Mine runs at 35-45 degrees celsius. Is that safe. If you think i should get more cooling, what do you recomend. Should i get a slot fan. Also, is it hard to install a new fan? thanks.
