RE: Computer Overheating!
the temperatures shown in speedfan depends on the motherboard's sensor, but generally the higher is the CPU's yes..

maybe just a lot of dust on the heatsink *-) a lot -_-

RE: Computer Overheating!
I know might sound really dumb, but what's the temperature of the room the computer sits in...?

I'm not turning the PC on while the case is open. That is just stupid.



:rofl: Dude, it's safe to turn on/off your computer with a side open, in fact, i builded a computer WITHOUT case, just a power supply, motherboard, and everythign else, started the motherboard manually with a screwdriver and i had it running, you just have to be carefull.

I don't know if I have the same problem, but once I left my computer downloading for a night, I came back the morning, the computer was reset?  =\

Is that a cause of overheating?  I have never overclocked or whatever my CPU.

Don't always trust what speedfan tells you ;)
On my PC it tells me temp2 is 127C, which is complete and utter bullshit ;)
I doubt your PC would survice at 114C :P

Anyway, about the case, trust me it's safe to turn on a PC without the case on. as long as you don't start poking in it with your fingers, that is ;) The case is just to protect against things touching important parts and stuff, and it's better for the airflow. but a PC can run fine without a case ;)

If you have never had a self-shutdown or reset then i don't think there's a problem, i think TheBlasphemer is corrent, some computer mark some temperature while others another one. My computer marks my CPU is always at 60C, i told this to a friend... almost kills me, he said it's a very high temperature, but anyway my computer is running fine and i checked the heatsink and i don't think it's 60C :S:@.
You can also check for yourself after using your computer for a while touch your heatsink, if it's 'untouchable' then you have a problem.

most processors these days are good for 80c
and unseated just means its not sitting flush with the core, so heat is still being transferred just not efficiently
Or at all. And while processors may handle 80C, it will significantly reduce the lifetime.
