system temp too high?

i have posted b4 about the random restarts , i think i ahve found the problem but it is un confirmed, so i need your help

is a system temp of over 50 too high? will this cause random restarts?

What are your specs? In an AMD system I would say it is a little high. Pentium system would be about right (I think)

cpu temp of 50C shouldnt cause any instability issues as amd say anything upto 60C is fine. However if you mean case temp of 50C then yes its way too hot!! :eek:

well i m using a AMD 3700+ (939) , cpu temp is about 35 degrees, but the "system temp" is around 50, and wen i blow my 120mm fan into it it drops to about 42, but for some strange reason (which is ******* annoying me) the pc randomly restarts when i play any games , or even just listen to music!

Well im not sure whats causing your restarts as it could be numerous things but it dosent seem like its the temps as your cpu temperature looks fine. It sounds like your case temp probes wrong, as having a cpu temp that much lower than case temp is extremely rare without some form of duct.

well, i dont have a case probe thingy, i jsut checked the temps in the bios, under PC health, and it has my CPU temp and system temp, i m guessing system temp is the north bridge or something. i m surprised y my mobo dont ahve a north bridge fan bcoz i think the 6150 generates lots of heat.
