Default Does this seem high?

Ok, so I just downloaded Speedfan on my little brothers PC. because it was getting SUPER HOT! I mean it was getting so hot that when I touched the power supply it literally BURNT my fingers, then to my surprise when I went to pick it up the side panel was just as hot. So I took it apart to let it cool off a bit, then I did an all out cleaning on it. I took the processor fan and exhaust fan out cleaned them both, I mean it looks brand new inside and out. I have never seen a PC get this hot, you can feel the hot air come out when I took the sides off. So after it cooled off and it was clean I hooked it back up and ran speedfan and this is what I got for readings:








Do these numbers look to high? How can I go about fixing this if so? Oh the Model number on the PC is HP 544N

You can set a certain temp that will give you a warning like that. U can adjust it though.

Because it's above the warning temperature. It doesn't mean you're computer is in danger, since different CPU's have different thermal outputs, so some can withstand higher temperatures then others.

You could try cleaning the inside of you're PC out of it's dirty, or add a few more case fans. Or replace the ones you have now with more powerful ones.

BTW: What size monitor do you have?

17" Flat panel, I'm thinking cutting a whole on the side of the PC and putting a huge exhaust fan there. I cleaned out everything on here inside and out, and I must say it was pretty dusty, I wish there was a way to keep clean, but I don't think there is
