last night my computer seemed to be running a bit slow.. Hmm ok reallly slow actually. It could not even keep up with my typing. I downloaded Temperature monitor and it was reading 160 Degree!!!

I shut it down, Lapped te heat Sink, and applied some new silver thermal paste instead of the grease that was used before.

Nowit is down to 137 -140 but damn that still seems hot. I guess Dual Procs just run that much hotter.

That would be considered hot even for AMD.

You better look into it.

Come on now, Suddar, this is a man's (dual) processor. You don't joke with something like that. Jeez, I thought you were more grown up than that.

Worse comes to worse you can always replace it with a high end single processor P4 box and get better performance anyway.

    Maradon Get the fuck out of my thread. Wharn you actually have a bit of Credibility on this topic you can come back. Till then just don't bother posting on Mac threads.

    Since your need for a computer extends to games and nothing more you can keep your P4 or AMD box.

    I actually use my computer to work. So I get the computer and Software that best suits my needs.

    My friends Dual Processor machine never seemed to run hot, but those were Xeon's so I dunno if they need to be set as high. Just out of Curiosity, What sort of work do you do on it that merits the Dual processor since you blasted Maradon, His suggestion seemed vaild.
