      Yes, as The-poacher implied, more specifics would help us to help you more.

      For your CPU temps, take a look here:

      How Hot Are Your CPUs'?

      It's mostly about AMD chips, but there is some Pentium info in there as well.

      Well,

      I have to ask no matter how dumb i feel at the moment

      How does one verify the temperatures you guys are talking about? I sure would like to check mine.

      Thanks for any help.

      Regards,

      No dumb questions here bud, but dumb answers..... sometimes

      Most recent motherboards have a motherboard sensor and a processor sensor. Some have the added ability to read the temp off the processor die and others have an option for an external probe sensor that can be plugged into the Mobo. Check your manual to see what you may have.

      Many BIOS have the option to view the temps in the BIOS options at startup. But in Windows, you will need a proggie to see them. I have always found that Motherboard Monitor is the best proggie for this. It has lots of fun options besides temp monitoring as well. Check it out......

      http://mbm.livewiredev.com/

      Make sure to check out the "Motherboard List" link to see of your Mobo is supported and how to set it up.

      If your temp. is not rising above 60 degrees then there is no problem at all. The most cpu's can work up to 75 degrees. But they don't like it

      This is at your own risk. But this are the things I have heard.
