My computer died sometime overnight, it wouldn't turn this moring  !! I quickly examined and saw the the mobo light wasn't on  . So I came to the conclusion the power supply was dead. But when I built the computer in the first place the stock fans were quite loud. The stock power supply was ok, it seemed. Anyways I got on the other computer and looked at Circuit City for power supplies. I found one that almost matched the capacity of the one I had, along the way I spotted some fans. Then I got to thinking "I wonder..." so I found one with some good reviews and decided to get that too. Later that day we went to Circuit City to get the new supplies. We found both of them in stock and happily drove home. I got home and started to unplug everything in my computer and unscrewed the power supply. I installed the new one and plugged everything back in. Then installed the new fans. Booted it up and presto  it worked  !!!!! YAYYYYYYY!!! But speed fan says that my cpu is running at 136 degrees fahrenheit under medium load  . Is that a bad thing??? It says everything else is good. Please give me some advice.
P.S. It doesn't really control the fan speeds all that much. Is there a way to make it work better? It shows there rpms, but when I go to change them it doesn't really do anything. They show up as fans 1, 3, 4. 1 I assume running the fastest is the cpu fan. 3, 4 I think are the newly installed fans. |

well, you see, noone hee can really help you, since you undoubtably have a mac, and mybae, one or 2 other people that go here use macs.
and to be totally honest, I have serious thoughts about whether or not apple pays you to join forums and subtly advertise their products. >.>
I mean, apple guy? come on! |

He said he built his computer, therefore it is not a mac.
And if mac pays him, what does Nintendo pay me?
Anyways, that temperature is not too bad. |

Well, you've gotta admit, not everyone advertises their favored computer brand.
It's a bit odd how most apple users M'aiq meets keep spewing about how "Mac is better than PC, get a Mac now" while PC users he meets just say "Yeah, I use a PC."
Really though, if it's a computer, works, and plays games, it's fine. The problem M'aiq has with Mac's is that the interface is too...different. |

I've never used a Mac before in my life, and I find their commercials to be futilely trying to run Bill Gates over. |

M'aiq tried using a Mac at Best Buy once.
The Minimize, Full Screen, and X buttons were hidden in a traffic-light looking thingy on the TOP LEFT of the windows. VERY CONFUSING. |

I wouldn't disagree. Microsoft has been successful with their user-friendly interface up-front and all.. But still, the system areas are still confusing. |

Ok, about the tempurature, is it ok? IDK? Also Apple doesn't pay me to advertise them. Also I don't work for Apple (yet). Also it is a dumb Windowz pc not a mac, although I would love a mac. So hopefully that clears things up. |
