amd phenom asus m4a78 em serious issues

[nitink]

Hello friends i am nitin
i have recently purchased a system as follows
1- amd phenom x2 550
2-asus m4a78-em/1394 motherboard
3-powercolor hd 4870 1 gb gddr5 gpu
4-kingston 2 gb ddr2 ram
5-tagan u37 600watt psu
6-seagate 80gb ide harddrive

my room temperature is 31 to 34 degrees
i am using my old cabinet which has a good height but no fan and no ventilation in panels.

From the day i had assembled and operated the system i had noticed on the bios that within 15 minutes temperature of
cpu at 48 degrees and motherboard at 52 degrees under idle state .
When i start playing games after fifty minutes the bios shows cpu at 59 degrees and motherboard at 63 degrees.
[no cpu or gpu overclock infact on auto mode]
i had called amd india they told me that the phenom x2 550 can reach upto 80-90 degrees normally without burning and so 60 degrees is normal for such cpu.
And asus india told me that this motherboard can reach upto 75 degrees normally they suggested me to put a chassis fan on my cabinet for cooling will it work ?
Now please tell me is it normal temperatures of cpu 60 degrees and mobo 65 degrees for such system configuration? Should i apply thermal compound how and which?
What should i do now i am hopeful and eagerly awaiting genuine help please help.

Hello. Please see this, I replied to your duplicate thread.

A mod would no doubt close one of your threads since they are duplicates. Don't take offense, but you shouldn't have made two threads about the same thing.

If heat is a problem such that you experience instability, then you should remedy that by modding that old case of yours and put in a fan or two.

should i need to apply thermal compound of as 5 also for good results or leave cpu all together on an assumption that it is normal.

You just need the fans on the case, no need to muck around with the CPU since you haven't overclocked.

Now please tell me is it normal temperatures of cpu 60 degrees and mobo 65 degrees for such system configuration?

You're running a bit hot if you are idling at +26-29C over ambient, but that's only a big problem because the ambient is 31-34C in the first place. In short, 60C Idle is too high.

The 550 only has a max safe temp of 70C, which you will probably hit under load and that's why you're crashing. You need need airflow and lots of it, if you plan on doing much more than idling.

Your options in order of cost are:

1. Buy some fans. Modify your old case to install them.
2. Buy a new case w/fans.
3. Buy a large air conditioner and cool the whole room.
4. Move somewhere with a lower ambient.

I don't think any lengthy discussion is necessary given the above situation. You should fix the above first. And OP, cross-posting and double-posting is not allowed.
