Well i got a insane i7 12g ram gtx 295 or w/e rig.. so it runs 30-35 deg. C usually.. when multiboxing.. Today my computer crashed.. and i checked the temp and it was at 40.. is this a bad temperature?

soo.. is that bad?
Thought I included that sorry...
No that's still fairly low 40C I mean it shouldn't be a serious temp...as long as you are getting an accurate reading
ah k thanks!
No it is NOT a bad temperature, by any means. Now if it were 80C...I'd get worried.
My i7 runs at about 70c but it's OCed to 3.6ghz, been running that way since I got it and had zero problems.
My i7 runs at 60-65c with 5 clients open medium-high settings in dalaran.
40c is great and nothing to worry about.
*as Drizhal said, so long as you're getting a good reading. I use a program called coretemp.
35 C just means that you should OC it...a lot
My room is hotter than than 40c. I would try to keep the cpu under around 60c and the case/mb under 50c. Not that 50c is too hot but then your cpu wont cool as well. The best cpu fans/heatsinks can only keep the cpu at about 10c above the internal case temperature. So keeping you case cooler means a cooler cpu and more overclocking if you wish.
