And it just goes to 60c just a minute after I posted the pic.

Here is a layout of my PC Case and where my fan is

I have only one fan that goes outwards. And I removed the side cover of my cpu.

And I ussually dont turn off my pc for a week cause I always leave my PC downloading anime and stuff.

But is my PC safe? If not what will I do for it to cool down?. I just dont like to turn off my PC because I cant stop donwloading my interest :/.
 
that is but mine sits around 17C today..... but in hot weather 35C... and this running a lot... what cooling have you got?
 
Mine have gone up to 55C too, so you are fine, My motherboard will increase CPU fan speed if it reach 62 C.

You have a fan blowing out, directly below an open hole.
Close up that hole or, better yet, put in a second fan blowing out. Your air is just going in a circle otherwise and is not cooling the case interior or other components.
Make sure that you have an air intake at the front of your PC: either a plain grille, or a fan blowing in.

1x 200 IDE Drive

I play WOW and my PC is like this for about 2 years now and always running in 50-60c well I saw that when my WOW was open it goes to 70-80c but I played WOW for like 6-8 hours a day. And my computer doesnt shutdown at all and my computer is on the living room which does not have a AC.

Can you give me some good Fans for my PC Case that has 3 slot of Fan.
And a one good ZalMan or any other processor fan that would "REALLY" cool down my processor for my WOW and Gaming.

And BTW my PC Case has no Fan slot in the front but have 1 in the side cover.
So means I have 3 Fan slot.
And can u tell me pls where I should put the Intake Fan and outake fan cause I dont really know how to do that air cycling thing xD.

P4's run hot anyway. I think your fine. It could be better, maybe re seat the heatsink with some new thermal paste.
 
I'd try adding another fan above the exsisting one (Like Tom suggested), this would be the cheaper option... If that doesn't work, look at getting a better HSF.
 
"why'd you post two of the exact same priced heatsinks?"

What?
Same price, different heatsinks.
One is bigger than the other.
One has an LED fan, the other doesn't.
The bigger one (second link) will cool better.

P4s do run hot but that doesn't mean you can't get the temp down.

This would be good.

This would be better.

With one of those heatsinks, your CPU probably won't see 45C while gaming.

OMG That Fan is cool, Ive read the comments of this fan and I can see that this one really will cool ur Processor :D. Gonna buy of those thing now :D. Thx for the info Quick69GTO ^^. This will help me a lot ^^
 
I might be mistaken but is all that dust in there? Get your self an couple high speed fans 80cfm+ and then you'll move some mad air out the back. Also a little cable management helps also.
 
P4s don't always run hot ^^

I run my 3.2ghz Cedar Mill P4 @ 4.27ghz, using an AC Freezer 7 Pro and some MX-5 TIM. It idles at 22 and on full load never exceeds 42. And that's in the summer!
 
yo, just put a box fan next to the open part of your case, blowing inwards. thats what i do :)
it works veryyyy well.
