temperatures  Last response: in CPUs  my pc is : intel 865 GBF
mobo P4 2.4 ghz (800 FSB, 512 kb L2 cache) 512 mb kingston ram
(400 mhz) sapphire radeon 9600 pro atlantis (256 mb) 40 gb
maxtor HDD  when i start my pc, the cpu temperature reads 30-33
cel. after heavy gamin, the cpu reads 41-43 cel. how bad is it?
however my gfx card or ram (specially) never gets that hot,
normal?  the real problem is my HDD, after hours of gamin i t
becomes really hot, not as hot as burning coal maybe but
unusually hot. i read somewhere that its the chip on the HDD
that gets hot, not the bearings. but in my case, the chip stays
cooler than the bearings and the rest of the body (HDD's). will
cooling fan help? where would i put it? is it nessecary to plug
the fan as a system fan?  More about : system temperatures
Since you have an older P4 your running nice and have no heat
problems. As for the hard drive u can install MBM5 and check the
temp by turning on the option under gen
