I have a nVidia 9600 GT card, and an AMD Phenom Quadricore with 2.4 ghz, and they respectively have the temperature of 50 °C and 55 °C. On these, Crysis and Far Cry lag like hell. Would having a lower temperature help this? And how much?
I've had my graphics go all fuzzy when my 8800 512 got hot. Luckily I adjusted the fan and it runs cooler than my 7600 ever did.
Oh I'm really sure lowering the temperature would help you computer, perhaps not the FPS but it's definitely a good thing to try to lower the temperature. My computer's graphiccard would eventually crash cause my cooler was too bad, so I fixed it and I feel like my computer is running much smoother and my card isn't crashing.
50 and 55 is perfectly normal, it's even on the cool side.

50 is cool for a GPU, but 55 is a little high for a CPU

I have my fan at 10 cm from the wall

Could that hurt my pc? Also it's a bit dusty, could all the dust catch on fire?
Wtf far cry is from 2004 how come it lags?

Yeah, you should give it more room from the fan so it can push the hot air away from the computer. It doesn't look too bad from the picture though.
Dust won't catch on fire but it really does raise the temperature.
When did you check your temperatures? While idling or while in-game?

I would suppose it's Far Cry 2 considering he mentioned Crysis in the same sentence.
[QUOTE=dvondrake;18647755]My old 8800GT's fan broke without my knowing a while ago and I was getting temperatures over 100°C, my FPS kept plummeting until my whole computer just froze and crashed.
55 is definitely not hot for a CPU. It's average.[/QUOTE]
55 is hot for idling.
Yeah the temperatures were measured when I wasnt playing, also I was referring to Far Cry 2 for the idiots.

Anything below 80 degrees Celcius is perfectly fine for a GPU. anything below around 70 is good for a CPU.
Your system isn't overheating at all.

Should I open my pc and check for dust? Also, to take it away safely what do I use?
If you're getting temps over 75 I'd check for dust. My 8800 GT started overheating and when I looked inside there was dust all over the gpu fan.
I'm not sure what the proper way is but when I clean up the inside of my pc I just use a shop vac.
Works great. Clean your sinks too..
Do NOT use a regular vacuum though , They generate a lot of static electricity
Keep the HP low too , about 1 should do fine.
This [img]http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1568/tempji.png[/img] is too hot for idling. 55 and 50 is not. if yo lower them to 30, you will notice a difference. But since it's when you're idle, it'd be har do efficiently reduce the temperature in an affordable way. I myself, as you can see from the picture, am having problems with forced standby mode...
