730 pm, It's 51F outside, The rest of the house is 76F, my room with
the computer is 80.1F.
Am I retarded or shouldn't the heat be turned OFF?
 
Sounds like you need to get a better heat sink in that computer.
Depending on what processor you use depends on whether you need a pad
or grease to make a better contact between the processor and the fan.
Or, water cooling also works, depends on which way you want to go.
Take your pick!

Suggest one that is under $25?
A HSF is what I mean.
 
There is no need to turn off the heat. your system should work
normally at that much heat.
2nd thing about processor temperature roughly below 60C is fine !!

On a venice 3500?
 
What socket is the Venice 3500? That makes things easier to figure out
as to what type.

You get what you pay for in this day and age, if you're willing to
part with about 50 bucks, buy a Thermaltake, model CL-P0114, it has a
nice adjustable fan, make sure you get some thermal grease for it from
Arctic Silver (on eBay for about a buck), and off you go. A lot of
heatsinks are difficult to mount or require an extra power supply, but
installation is always a problem. I have this model on an AM2 and it
works something great! ASUS makes something called the Chilly Vent Lux
which is also another great fan.

The links are for pictures and technical references. Going to
Pricegrabber.com might save you some money. I like Newegg.com but I
live in Jersey and get raped on sales tax AND shipping because they
have a wharehouse here. But I do get it the next day, which I can't
complain about.

A fair warning, the Thermaltake is HUGE, it's not going to fit in a
small case, so be careful, if you have the room, get it.
