Do I need to learn and/or do something about "temperatures"
I run a lot of programs at the same time (I have been restarting only if the machine complains or the screen won't redraw or something) and someone just told me that I could overheat and kill the computer, so I just ran a program called AIDA - Personal System Information.
Can you tell me if my computer is "normal". Once I start working on applications the temps climb and don't really go down much if I close them. Is this normal or should I be worried about frying this computer?
When I do a normal boot (Norton AV/FW, Adsgone and the AIDA program), I get:
Temperatures:
Motherboard - 49 °C (120 °F)
CPU - 45 °C (113 °F)
Aux - 37 °C (99 °F)
Cooling Fans:
CPU - 2411 RPM
Chassis - 3245 RPM
When I open Adobe Photoshop, Jasc Paint/AnimationShop, MS ImageComposer, Outlook and IE running, I get:
Temperatures:
Motherboard - 51 °C (124 °F)
CPU - 66 °C (151 °F)
Aux - 37 °C (99 °F)
Cooling Fans:
CPU - 2377 RPM
Chassis - 3245 RPM
I don't know if you need this info, but this is a short summary:
Computer:
Operating System - Microsoft Windows ME
Motherboard:
CPU Type - AMD Athlon-PECM, 1000 MHz (5 x 200)
Motherboard Name - Asus A7S-LE (3 PCI, 1 AGP, 2 DIMM, Audio, Video, LAN)
Motherboard Chipset - SiS 730S
System Memory - 304 MB (SDRAM)
BIOS Type - Award Medallion (05/09/01)
Thank You
