CPU temperature

[Chippiewill]

If the temp of my Mobo/Processor is at 75C then it will last 4000hours, if it is at 45C then it lasts 4000000 hours. Temperature matters guys.

It sounds a little high but not excessively. Maybe the heatsink isn't seated properly.

I'll have a look when I put my GFX card in today, is it hard to check if it's in? I'll have a look on Google.

OK, thanks. If it was cooler, would it run better?

No, it wouldn't.

Please, provide a source for this information.

I know the higher the temperature, the lower the life span, but the difference is not that great at all.

I've noticed mine over heating just lately, I cant be bothered with the hardware stuff so, Prop it up with a few DVD's and put a desk fan near it, It'll be rate if your worried

Just realised your probably using a Desktop PC LOL sorry!

I think I'll just take of the heatsink/fan when I open it up later or tomorrow and just clean the dust out. After watching a couple of videos I concluded that the heatsink just clips out so it's easy enough... when I opened it before the fan was dusty.

My PC over heats at the moment because of my room temp. is constantly above 30c in the summer. Moving to a different room soon so hopefully my temps should go down.
