| | your computer is frying when you smell smoke. if it's just "overheating" then your computer will just either freeze or shut down. 66C is pretty hot. you might want to get a custom fan/heatsink that works at higher RPM and is copper.
Here's a suggestion
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835186134
That one is for pentium4 socket 775
And a really cheap solution for socket 478.

Lastly, for cheapest but highest risk, you can try to volt mod your cpu fan to go faster. My computer is running barely 70 degree Fahrenheit.
One last thing, get some airflow going through your computer case.
Don't be alarmed by this, the cpu is capable of running at like 150 degrees. Just cooler=better.

The temp of 43 is very normal. I have a Celeron and it is around 34. You don't really need to care of the heating until your computer is old

That is ok for a new processor anything under 50 degrees is awesome. the petiums are usually alot cooler than the amd's which will normally run at about 55 degrees but any new processor ( less than about 4 years old )can run at anything up to about 90 degrees so your chip will be fine but of course if you are running two identical processors and one is 15 to 20 degrees cooler, the one that is cooler run fast and more efficently. So if possible you should put a few more fans on your case to make the chip run cooler it will help the processor last longer and run a hell of a lot better. just remember you can never over cool a chip the cooler the better the only problem with more fans usaually means more noise so you will have to see how noisy you want your machine to be . Also just make sure that you machine is always clean from dust just blow it out with a compressor or something every two or three months as the dust builds up on the fans and stuff and they do not work as efficently as normal. And one other way to help cool your machine down without adding fans is just to open the case while using it this help keep a good flow of cool air to the processor to keep it alot cooler.

My fan smells burned
Is My Computer Overheated?
I started smelling something burning in my room but it was not a strong smell so I paid it no mind. I walked out of the room for about a minute and when I came back my computer was turned off and nothing worked and the lights were off. The smell was stronger so I think it might have been burned out. I have a 2006 computer but I don't exactly know it's processor and stuff. I waited a day but nothing happened and I held the power button down for like 30 seconds but still nothing happened... Can someone help? -reply by Terranstar

Widescreen Computer Display

of (1280 * 800). For me I think these widescreen display should be the way to go, it allows you
more space to do your stuff especially if you are doing some image editing, and that requires a huge
amount of resolution size. There is an argument whereby you can increase your resolution to make it
tinier so that you can have more space but then again, the problem with making the....

Computer Problems - Hanging/crashing
PC Randomly Crashes And Hangs, Ideas? (16) I recently got a new computer, a NEC i-Select D5410. A few days ago it started to randomly crash,
