Never seen anyone use Fahrenheit for computer-related temperatures before. O_o

Sorry, thats bacause YES IM AN IDIOT (LOL) Just realised it is the C and Not the F temps You go off. Shows the fact that i havent got a clue when it comes to computers,I cant even the WIFI Working fer fecks sake (lol).

Thanks guys and please dont take the p@ss to much,be gentle with me.

Now if it had 2 wheels and an v-twin engine then i would know where to start and what to do, but computers, forget it.....


Thanks again guys, now i can relax alittle bit

What does that matter?
It's still the same temperature regardless of it being in Fahrenheit.

EDIT : What happened to the PC you were going to buy that you made a thread about, the one for 1000? It was a hell of a lot better for games.

He must have thought that 78-80F was 78-80C....which would be stupidly high.
