i built this computer back last october it has a 1.4amd athlon.. not overclocked cause its fast enough right now;) anywayz i am only using normal air cooling and the temps never went above 43ºC but then over the last couple of weeks its been going higher to 50ºC range and i thought it might be the summer time coming and stuff... but then this weekend its been hitting 60ºC, and i was like that shouldn't be its not that hot in higher, well i can make it that steamy with my friend, but still :).. anywyaz the case is always open and i looked inside of it over the weekend and i saw that the fan was dirty as nothing else and that the heat sink is also dirty.. cleaned it and everything and now its back to normal 43ºC cooling.. tight:)
