ok whats the deal he

cpu core temp: 42c/107f

hardware doctor
system 46
cpu 38.00 - 38.50

system is:
Zalman cnps 7000A-Cu *copper*
Barton 2500+ WEEK 33 (unlocked)
3200 ddr 400 512
ATI 9800 PRO 128mb
60gb Maxtor
160gb Maxtor
Plexwriter (12X1032) AND (52X32X52)
NSpire 300w
Chen Ming ATX-601 AE case

There is a problem with your case ventilation. Are there any fans in it?
The two hard disks plus the 9800 Pro dissipate a lot of heat that has to

be
extracted. You should have one or two fans blowing into the case and one

on
top of the psu fan(s) extracting the hot air from the case.


My sysoft sandra confuses the system and cpu readings - ie they're swapped.
Could be your problem. Does the system temp rise quickly from cold? This
might indicate same thing happening.
