Hi Guy's, i have been on my PC (one i'm on now) for about 3 hours but the processor isn't getting that hot. i dont have water cooling on this machine as its just my secondary gaming PC if this fails. i dont have any case fans and the cpu fan is not working. the processor isnt going past 32 degree's celsius and does change even when i turn it off and go into the bios to watch the temp, it stays around 32/33 which is abnormal for a pc like this..

these specs are: Straight from DXDIAG

CPU is just multi threaded and yes that is DX10 for XP :)

doesnt seem like anything is majorly wrong but im just curious why its own cooling seems to be sufficient

thanks alot

Abnormal? Idle temps of 33C for a P4 are excellent, they're hot running chips.

edit: Oh I see. Could be due to better than average case ventilation. P4s were usually used in stuffy small cases with single 80mm fans...

yeah my CPU fan is not working till i buy another, its just that when i am writing programs and compiling them as its just logical use then CPU should raise in temp.... maybe i guess Intel just build super quality chips.

CPUs very rarely go wrong compared to other components.
