morbidbutterfly Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Overheating will cause instability, definitely shorten the life of a PC and cause massive performance issues. A good recommended rule to follow is to keep the temperature (while under full load) around 20c or lower below the maximum temperature the manufacturer has rated your processor at. Core Temp is a great small footprint program to monitor CPU temperature. It has many very useful options that could very possibly save or at least lengthen a PC's life. http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ Link to post Share on other sites
