CPU Overheating

wasiu0607 · 05-03-2006, 10:52 PM

My CPU keeps overheating and I don't know what to do about it. I've cleaned the CPU fan and it still overheats now and then.

The temperture is at 52c for CPU and 37c for case. When I play games, the CPU goes to nearly 70c.

I have a Pentium 4 3.0E ghz with 768 MB ram. The CPU fan is stock BTW.

Can I increase the CPU fan speed? Or do I need to buy a new fan/replace the old one?

If so, please guide me through it step by step. Thanks a lot.

Chris Fisher.
