My old system, which specs ar ein my signature, died, i think due to a bad psu. Now i am using my sister's computer. There is a problem, it is running hot, real hot. I am using everest to moniter the temp and it says that the cpu, a 2.6Ghz Celeron 4A is running at an exceptionally cool 35C (95F), but it also says the mobo is running at a scorching 61C (142F). What could be causing this, it is not lagging at all and performance is not slowing down. It just scares me that it is that hot. What could be causing this?
Man that's hot!

Your Northbridge has a fan or heatsink on it right? If it has a fan, make sure it is cooling properly. Also, you can just get a system fan (120mm) and aim in onto the motherboard to aid in cooling. Motherboards should really run betweem 40-50C, maybe 55C at most. That is pretty warm, it might damage the northbridge controllers wafers if u let that continue. BAD JUJU when silicon wafer transistor series get damaged.... Get a better northbridge cooler for it.

Usually you have to press the delete key when the computer starts this should enter it, then look until you find system temperatures.

Ignore it then, just ignore the temp you might want to add a few more fans though..your choice.
