I'm seriously worried about the heat of my rig. Maybe you guys could
help me out?
It's an Athlon64 3200+ with Antec Sonata case. It's all stock cooling,
no overclocking.
The thing is, I've had it for a year now, and I've had no problems with
heat. (Well actually, I didn't pay any attention to the heat.) But
yesterday, while I was playing a game, the heat warning beeps cut in.
It was the first time that had happened. I checked the BIOS, and heat
warning was set at 75 degrees C! Yikes.
After that, I let the box cool down, then turned it on, and just looked
at the idle temp in BIOS. It crawled up to 60 deg C before I got bored;
I think that's plenty to be worried about.
The CPU fan seems to be fine. I don't understand what could possibly be
making it run so hot. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Laszlo
