How do you see what temperature your video card, cpu, etc. is? What program would do this?
Thanks

whats a decent temp? i'm getting about an average temp of 40c
is that hot?

On your CPU? 40C is good, mine runs at about 38C... I think anything over 55 (?) and you'll be a bit too hot!

The max is 65 to 70 and IMO over 55 is to hot.

You really need to test your CPU at 100% usage to see if your temps are okay. Download Prime95, and run two at the same time. After it has been running for a while (15 minutes is good), check your temperatures and post them up here.
