GPU = Graphical Processing Unit, CPU is what you are referring to, unless you have a magical pixie fairy that does that for you via the south bridge controller temperature senor, I however - have not found this magical pixie fairy.

Pretty sure I know what a GPU and a CPU is.

I won't bother to start another arguement on these forums as I've been banned 3 times already for it.

Guess I like to talk with the community.. But then there are the ignorant pricks that like to try and grow their e-dick by trying to be tough online. Just so happens I lay the shit out enough, the mods ban me. Oh well.

Whats your overal CPU usage (you can check in the task manager)?

Installed any software that runs in the background?

[assasain]

cpu usage with just a little stuff running only hits max of 7%, it mostly does this when a game is running.

CPU USAGE
about 7%
highest i saw it reach with counterstrike source launched is 21%

PF USAGE
about 370 MB
and with CSS its 545 MB

would be the best thing to do if its getting to warm.

I guarntee you hit higher then 21% CPU usage playing CS

If your only having this happen during gaming, and you installed a new PS / Video card, the reason the fan noise increases is due to more draw on the power...

It's pretty normal.... ?

[assasain]

only thing that baffles me is this is a new thing, i've had the card for about 6 months or so

i dont even get that high playing CSS and WoW at the same time barely..

ATITool should be able to tell you about your gpu temps. it can stress test your card and tell you about your max temps and also any errors. I personally run a thermaltake vga cooler, it keeps my card cool as a damn cucumber, even overclocked.

well i did figure one thing out.....

my power source fan barely works, so i think if i replace that then my computer temps should drop....

im guessing all the extra heat from that power source is being pumped into the rest of the computer instead of out of it, and is making the cpu hot and making the fans go crazy.
