    I thought I might be able to help you... but then I saw your av... and got distracted. :up:

    I know mine on my laptop doesnt run full speed all the time, sometimes i can just feel the hot air pouring out the side of it, other times nothing at all. Im not sure what to tell you, other than if you think you might have something running in the background eating up resources and forcing your fan to keep things cool more than normal try going to this website and downloading this small program to see if you notice anything out of the ordinary... maybe someone else here can help you beyond that.

    could be alot of things could be the weather, the pc is just running hot, could be your fans aren't a big enough size for your processor and such so they have to run constantly, etc etc

    could also be all the porno you download...............

    What pc are you using? Is it a laptop or a regular desktop? To see if you have an errant runaway program, go to your task manager and see cpu usage.

    I use this all the time at work. They have so much anti virus and other stuff going that I need to go into task manager and force quit all the crap I don't want running.

    I would SERIOUSLY look into making sure the front of the fan is clean and not full of dust-bunnies.

    Depending on Operating system, your machine could shut itself off if it gets too hot..if it is Windows 2000 or earlier, could very well just cook your CPU altogether.


    That, and STOP downloading PORN
