This is my specifications (not 2 gb but, 1 + 512 gb )

This is ram

This is cooler

I have 2 cpu to use, now i have 3.2 ghz on it and temperature is minium around 68 c. When i open tabs, it jumps to 80 81, if i watch video, it goes to 85 c.

When i use 2.8 ghz, temperature is around 40 c.

I will buy one or two 1 gb ram to get more performance but what about cpu, should i continue using 3.2 ghz or a new cooler can help?

What motherboard and CPU's are involved?
Is the 3.2ghz cpu on the motherboard cpu support list?

Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000MK and yes it supports.

For example i have chrome open now with 12 tabs, there are 500 mbfree ram but chrome can freeze and can be nonaccessible clickable for seconds. Because of gpu maybe?
 
If the CPU temp is that high it's probably slowing itself down.

Is the CPU a northwood or prescott core?
Do you have the 5 digit spec number off the top of it?
And your running bios F14?

Prescoott. 1 mb cache. 478 pin. Bios is old, 2003 2005 version. I dont know 5 digit or not, i cant see it.

I dont know about f14 bios.

Now temperature is around 62 c. I put thermal paste and just cleaned. But it goes 67 c. If i open a few tabs, it goes higher
 
Bios version is Award Modular. f9 model . Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Intel 865PE AGPSet BIOS for 8IPE1000MK F9

Cooler was not bigger, it was broken so i bought xilence.

Do you suggest updating bios?
 
Internal I/O Connectors 1.2 x Serial ATA ports
2.2 x USB 2.0 connectors (supports 4 ports by cable)
3.2 x UltraDMA 100/66 Bus Master IDE
4.1 x FDD connector
5.CD/AUX in
6.1 x Game port pin header

The Specs say it has a FDD connector.
 
The temp problem is probably because you are running the wrong bios version the motherboard doesn't know what CPU voltages to use.

I jsut updated to f14. It seems nothing has changed.

At bios, the temperature was 80 c. Normally temperatue was around 60 c there. And still contiunes jumping for example 83 c to 70 c suddenly.

+5 V 5.16 V
+3.3 V 3.28 V
+12 V 12.29 V
CPU 2909 RPM is maybe slow?

cpu reduced to 64 c now. I just opened windows and just opened chrome with 5 tabs open. at first, it was around 83 c and now reduced to 63 c. Maybe because tabs were loaded and now no process.

And now 60 c. I am looking from everest.


( i clicked post and it jumed to 83 c again and again reduced)
 
I changed its location, back and sides are open. But not much changed.


What about putting the fan in the reverse position in the back of case, you can see in the picture, so it can blow air inside, now pulling air but there is warm air to be pulled.
 
Put the other CPU back in either the 3.2 is not compatible or is defective, case fans have absolutely no bearing on this.

I am using it for around 10 years. What happens if i continue using this because it seems it can let multitasking more. And still i did not buy ram, will buy 2 x 1 gb ram.

MAybe psu is defected but i bought it 1-2 years ago.
 
More ram will have a limited benefit, see if you can maybe find another good used 1 gig stick to match the one you have.

The CPU will throttle itself down to lower operating speeds to protect itself so no danger of it burning.
