says cpu temp is 25oc that about right? or is that 2 low?

No such thing as too low. That's pretty good if you ask me, is that even after you boot up windoze?

 

[Aberclio182]

thats it running half life 2

i personally think thats to low and i could have a fault somewhere.

 

[Aberclio182]

its a 4600 x2 athlon

that temp is definately too low when playing a game, not inless you have a water cooling setup??

easiest way is to reboot after playing and check with the bios, thats always accurate as its the only program that will work 100% with the motherboard

 

[Aberclio182]

the bios says 6oc

 

[Aberclio182]

sorted just flashed the bios back one. and its now reading 38c away to try half life again and check the temp

 

[Andy A]

Sounds about normal for idling, yeh whack it up with half life and post back

 

[Aberclio182]

45 -47

Pointless. Temps will drop dramatically in seconds. Taking an rough estimate of 5 - 8 seconds between hitting the reset button and entering Bios and the temps could have dropped by a substantial amount.
