Does 159 dgrees Farenheit seem a little hot for a

[STEELH3D]

3.2GHz CPU? It feels a little warm, but I also read in a few forums that many Mobo's mis-interpret CPU temps... Anyone else running a 3.2GHz system? If so, what temp is it running at? Thanks in advance.....

There's a hardware forum.

Lets see, google says 159F is 70C. This is a Pentium 4 3.2GHz I assume and yes that is Hot.

Luckly Pentium 4's will slow down inorder to keep from getting any hotter but at much reduced performance.

Get more air flow in the case by putting the case in a better place, if there is an open spot then buy another case fan or buy a better heatsink/fan (Just make sure it matches your Socket).

Note:It's not recommended to leave the case open. That's the easies way to let Dust into your PC, it's worst enemy.

70C is hot, but pentium 4's aren't exactly known for their low temperatures.

At that temp, it'd be good to check whether your heatsink is on correctly and that the fan is running at full speed.
