Hi there! I was wondering can you help me out here. Now, Im using application to show me how my fan and CPU temperature is. Strangely, but CPU is getting really hot and the fan is running at low speed. I am aware that this is not good! Is this a problem with my CPU or cooling sys? It is quite old PC (Im having it now for five years). I do not want to get smart so I referred this question to you. Thanks in advance!

Hello! The issue here can be with the age of the computer. But, have you tried to enter into BIOS preferences and set your fan to run at higher speed? Yes? Then it must be a problem with your fan! Try to use vacuum-cleaner and wipe off the dust from the cooler. If this does not help than it must be something wrong with your fan. Occasionally it happens because just imagine how much rounds your fan made. Hundred thousands or maybe millions! So, youd better go and see what type you should get. Remember to see what your CPU socket is. That way you wouldnt make a mistake when buying a new cooler.
