On my new pc, according to some program called fan speed, my pentium D 2.8ghz is running between 16-22 degrees and my mobo is about 36 degrees. Is this normal?

AMD's normally run hotter than Intel, but the Dual core versions of AMD processors actually run cooler (and faster) than Intel's equivalents.
I may have too. The vent on the side of the case is huge so I may have a huge fan there. The other possibility is that the sensors have been installed backwards by the company.skysnapper posted on Apr 19 2006 at 09:04 AM said:My dual core runs something like 33 degrees at load but then i have a heat ink the size iof a small family car on top of it.

well, my amd64 3000+ at 100% load for 12 hours is 38 degrees, thats WAY less then my pentium 4 2.66ghz (singlecore), and my mobo is 30 degrees.Squidge posted on Apr 19 2006 at 10:00 AM said:Dual core Intels generate a LOT of heat, so I'd say the readings you are getting for you CPU are incorrect.
