Is my computer running to hot?

[Donsalieri]

I have been upgrading my computer lately; so for Christmas i got an EVGA 8800GTS and a new power supply; one thing i havent upgraded is the fans or cooling in the comp.


do anyway, i got speed fan to track my computers tempature; and everything stays either under-average or average except for the second "Core" and the "remote" trackers; the second core is running about twice as hot as the first one, it even COMES on hot when i boot up.

these are the temperatures now; after about 7 hours running ;

average: CPU : 34C
low:Ambient : 36C
hot: Remote : 51C
low: HD0 : 33C
average: temp1 : 40C
High: Core : 45C
hot: Core : 72C <-----WTF?

whenever i change the percentage of the fan speed; nothing really happens- anyone have any advice on how to cool down that second Core? or is it just a glitch

anyway thats what i'm using to track my temperature; is anyone else getting stuff like me? also, can people post what they get on their PCs?

EDIT: if you need any more info; let me know

If thats your GPU core then thats normal of an 8800 series card, mine idles during normal weather/ambient temperatures around 6xC and under load 7xC, the reason it shows a flame icon next to it in speedfan is because that is hot for normal videocards, but if you go to the config you can change the threshold before it changes from a checkmark to a flame.

Try your temperatures with Everest and compare. I find Everest to be more accurate.
