thats very bad. you should get liquid cooling or more fans.

Turn it off, let it cool down.

Secondary action would be to buy a new cooling system if this happens a lot. New fans and such.

I really want to look in to getting some sort of cooling in there...what should I get that is fairly easy to install?

I think Milla was looking into buying a new cooling system. Ask him about what he plans on getting.

if youve got a vented front with a fan bracket, put a fan there taking air in,
gets a good flow of air in and out...worked for my over heating card problem.

I don't have one in the front...but in the back ive got one...so I think im gonna cut outta work early tomorrow to get this shit...cos these temps arent good!

K.

Im gonna shut down my pc for the night I guess...bye bye! :]

if your cpu is that hot, your fan probably isn't working. thus you'll probably find you'll have to replace the current one.

200+ degrees is not good. If a fan was working, it wouldn't be that hot. something isn't dissipating the heat. Maybe your heatsink fell off or something if your fan is indeed working, but i bet it's not.

I've heard only good things from the Swiftech H20-120 water cooling kit. They all claim it works real well and is easy to install

just get a new fan. water cooling is overkill since you probably dont overclock, ujnless you do overclock then get water.

Could just be there isnt enough paste on to disapate the heat. Take off your cpu and stick some more paste on.
