Maybe time to blow the dust out?

And you thought that your CPU temps were high! It was kinda warm today - outside temp 27C inside 30C. Time to blow the dust out and get proper cooling he he.

Can't turn off UD and ECCp gotta keep the numbers up.

Actually I wanted to post this pic to show that AMD's will run stable at this temp seeing that everyone is worried about it.

Oh forgot to mention that it is an AMD 1.4G running at 1.4G can't O/C it in this weather-- Well the highest I've gotten it to run in winter was 1.5G and it crashed and burned.

I also have 2 fans sucking air out of the back of the case with 2 of the drive bay knockouts off and the air is hot comming out of the back so I'm getting good airflow.

holy cr@p!! haven't seen one run that hot before. i have head though that xp's can go up to 190 F before they start having probs (i think that's somewhere around 70 C). i would get better cooling though anyway, that much heat might damage the cpu over time. and besides, with a dragon orb 3+ or a swiftec mcx370 for 20 bucks on pricewatch, why not?

You should see what happened to my PII the other day. The floppy cable (I left it in there when I took out the broken floppy drive) got caught in the CPU fan and that thing got SOOO hot! I FELT the heat rising off the processor. It burns to the touch. Needless to say, I moved the floppy cable
