ok recently ive tidy my desk abit and i clustered all my computer components together eg, modem, maincase, sub, wiring, external HDD and all that stuff. they are all right next to each other. i see a raise in temp on the gauge from 60 ish to 75 ish and now my computer runs real slow it takes ages to load games now and it lags. does heat really slow down your comp that much???
yea it does cause it makes strain on ur componets. if ur goin to cliuster that stuff up u might want a new fan or a new coooliuin system
yea my comp is pretty crap 1.6 P4 512 ram 80gb HDD geforce 4 mx 64mb gfx card its about 3 years old, im a poor person. ^_^
heat definately does play a factor on slowing down your comp. i'd suggest checking the manuals (if you still have them!) and checking the minimum distance that the devices are supposed to be away from each other.
yea, it will slow down ur comp if its an intel because of it's auto-protection, if it was an amd it will just shut down when reaching 70*c(or 60 if its an athlon 64) to protect it. u definately need to open up your case and clean your heatsink as im pretty sure u never did and that why it doesent cool it anymore..
I highly doubt he has a problem considering he is reading off his monitor. Is the monitor farenheit or celcius.
ok first of all thanx for the help guys now i just cleaned my comp a week ago and not a trace of dust is left inside. i even took the side covers off for better cooling. now the problem is getting serious i have some serious lag when i play games and windows is not doing to good either. im gona try thr program tonight and will get back tmorrow. btw i think its measured in F thanx for the input guys really helpful. ^_^
