What CPU? Yes, 63^C is pretty dang toasty. What's it idle at? I'd still look into improving airflow and maybe getting a better cooler for it.

depends how accurate the sensor is. how cramped and hot the case/ambient temp, and how wgood the the hs is. 63 isn't that great, but it isn't gonna murder ur cpu in most cases.

Yeah, what CPU? One of the primary PCs I use all day (a Barton XP2500 OC'ed to 3200) can get that hot in the summer. The computer room gets toasty on a hot day and the room can get around 75F in the afternoon sun. On those days it's not unusual for me to idle around 55C. I've seen it peak at 64C during a heavy gaming session. Hasn't killed it yet. Doesn't lock up, reboot or anything. It just runs hot. Been running like that for a long time. I think some of the people here think anything over 35C is too high. :)

I'm too lazy to look it up for you. If you go to AMD of Intel's website, it will tell you what is too hot. And that is not too hot.

You should properly apply thermal paste :D

At any rate, it likely just has a dust blanket preventing airflow between the CPU heatsink's fins, a can of compressed air or a vacuum cleaner should do the trick.

WOW, more info on that story please

I wish I knew :p ... Actually, on second thought, I'm glad I don't :Q
