Hi-

I ran my new system for a few weeks after building it with the case open,
and was used to seeing CPU temps in the range of 84-88 F. Later, I closed
up the case, and the CPU temp increased by about 10 degrees to around 95 F.
or so.

I'm wondering what a more or less "normal" temperature should be? This is
an AMD K6-2 350 mhz chip, and it's not overclocked. Atx case with a fan in
the PS, one auxilliary fan at the front of the case, and a really nice CPU
fan with an oversized heatsink. No heavy duty number-crunching, mainly just
net browsing and word-processing.

Since this has probably already been discussed on the list, please email me
directly to conserve BW.

Thanks-
