Looks to me the threshold is about 70 C but it seems to max out at 92 C in =
the last month, 90 seems excessive but 70 doesn&#39;t sound too bad, how ca=
n I adjust the thresholds?<br>

Any time you hit full CPU load for any extended period, your processor over=
heats. =A0It spikes up over 90C and starts throttling itself. =A0You need t=
o get those temperatures down. =A0Clean out and re-seat your existing heats=
ink. =A0Buy more case fans to keep the ambient temperature down. =A0Buy a n=
ew, better, aftermarket heatsink. =A0Buy a modern processor and throw that =
P4 away.<br>


<br>
You need to do something physical. =A0Changing settings in software isn&#39=
;t going to do a damn bit of good.<div><div></div><div><br>
