what should i do?

Answer 1

I had a very similar problem w/a dual-core.  I simply added a couple of fans.  Make sure your case can accomodate the fans, get you a couple (they're cheap), and see if that solves your problem.

Also if you have the slots, you might try moving the PCI away from each other.  Might help, might not...but it's worth a shot.

If all else fails, you can do some advanced cooling.  You can check at:

to see what's available.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Why should you do anything? Leave it alone.

Here's some more information if you're still concerned

Answer 3

If there isn't a fan on the cpu it is over heating.

Just buy one for under a fiver on hardwareversand.de
