switch my pc on two day logged on and my cpu temps were 55c
in a few minutes..normally no higher than 40c at idle.
am blaming this warm weather were getting here..but am suffering as photoshop bumps it up more-around 60c witch then photoshop freezes and my hole pc runs really slow..case temps stick around 30c im thinking on going water cooled..would this solve the problem or will i see no difference as surly the warm room temps will not let it get eney cooler? sorry if this is a silly question

it sounds like it may be a lot of dust build up

That will probably sort it out

[pete21]

just put everything back to gather temps now 45c case 29c a lot better
wosent that much dust on the cpu heatsink/fan

Try a larger fan or more fans. I have a 120mm on my CPU, with an adapter from Maplin. It is also much quieter than the standard size.

i also have a akasa 120mm fan with adapter on cpu i agree they are quieter.i have also added an 80mm dan on the adapter aswell really do see a difference in temps
