My cousin looked both in his BIOS and SpeedFan and the temps are a BIT weird. He has a P4, and it is a compaq. Here are his temps

CPU - 37C
Motherboard - 126C

What could be causing this. And he has no stability problems either.

There is no ocing either.
 
Since it's a compaq, it probably doesnt have a correct temp reader (why should it? Compaqs arent made for enthusiasts.)

those temps seem on par to me for a P4 setup

126C seems on par for the chipset?
 
sounds fine to me for a p4 setup...but then again, it is a compaq...
 
Its proably the compaq being as normal on HP/Compaq quaility. I'd suggest saving up and replacing the motherboard personaly.

misread..

i thought the 2nd number was the first number in degress F
 
Sorry, the numbers were wrong. It was

30C for CPU
120C for NB
 
120C is just a bad reading. It's not really that high. If it was the computer wouldn't start and his house would be in flames.

248*F is hot, but I'm doubtful the house would burn down. I do know the PC wouldnt be running.
 
I don't think anyone should use the onboard temp. sensor as a real indicator of temperature.
