Hey People,
I have already posted a problem about my issue with the processor temperature. AMD 64 3200+ was running at 50 C without doing anything.
Now I have seen like yesterday that my CPU temperature was 30 degrees, while as now it is 48C.
What is going on? I was running norton and spyware check both together and it never exceeded 33C. Therefore i have a fear that something is wrong with my fan. Sometimes it works properly sometimes it doesnt.
Thefore I was thinking about taking my whole eMachines parts and put it into a new bigger and better case. But i am not sure if everything is going to fit. I know dvd-rw is not going to... so what can I do. There is no place to put more fans, and I don't want to make any whole in my case and the only thing I can do is put a PCI fan... which makes a lot of noise, what I don't like.
Therefore, I am waiting for your thinking...
Thanks Killer

50C for your CPU sounds pretty normal. 33C sounds like a misread.

Have you moved your computer to where you have knocked it or something....sounds like the heatsink is off slightly....my recomendation is to reseat the heatsink and throw in some artic silver paste..... anywhere from 30 - 45 for your CPU would be comfortable to me. 50 is kinda high if it is idling but if 50 is under load then it is ok with stock Heatsink and fan.

Hey people,
I don't get it. Why do people just keep targeting my ram? LOL. Am I the first one who has that much ram?

Nah, I never touched it... it is as it was given to me from eMachines. Don't know what is wrong... but willing to check out. If you all say that 50 C is ok for my system. THen I am cool Lol.

People stop making fun of my Ram... :-D
