Title: CPU overheat issue?
Post by: Steven5210 on September 13, 2007, 01:26:51 AM

I just recently upgraded my brothers computer and as of 1 week, there seems to be a heat issue going on. When I startup the computer I go to the bios menu and I look at the cpu and MB temperatures and to my surprise it seems that the cpu temperature keeps on rising slowly all the way up to 70 celcius. I know thats a bad place to be at. All the parts are brand new and its a intel core 2 duo processor 2.66g. I can't seem to find out why? I even tried blowing a fan with the case off to see if it will stop rising but it just wont? HElP!!

Intel core 2 duo 2.66ghz
2gb corsair 6400 ram
500GB sata
Evga 8600gt
