Questioner
I have a AMD X2 64 7750BE.
My system bios show my CPU temp is at 64 degrees centigrade(64C). Is it too hot?
MY CPU fan RPM is 2355. Is the rpm speed normal?

According to a Google Search, a temperature between 40°C and 60°C is normal for this CPU, max is 75°C. But you could try to get a bigger heat sink.
Btw, You mean Celsius. ;)

This sounds like a normal temperature for a processor. If your really worried you could look into getting a third party heatsink for it.

Between 40* and 75* is fine. I've had my computer run up as much as 85* before.

It also depends on where do you live :-)
During summertime my CPU is much hotter.
So if you get 64C for air temperature around 20C, but you expect to have 40-45C during summertime, start looking for a better cooler.

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 on an Intel Core2 Duo CPU E7400 with 3.5 GB of RAM and an Intel G45/G43 chipset. The motherboard runs at 35°C and the CPU at 32°C -- which I don't think is too hot. First of all, is this too hot? I'd like ways of stopping it from transferring the heat to the room. On a summer night the room temperature goes from 74°F to 78°F. Turn of one of the fans and let things run hotter? Will a liquid cooling kit help? Thanks.

Turning off the fans, liquid cooling, etc does not reduce the total heat caused by powering the components in your computer.
If you vent the heat from the electronics into the room, you are going to raise the temperature of your room, regardless of the method used to remove the heat.
The only solution is to either turn off the computer or vent the heat out of that room.
Powersave, turn off the things inside the computer that you don't use.
Please note that practically all energy you put into a computer turns into heat. So if you buy a mobile energy meter and messure how much power it use you get an estimate on how much heat it emits to the room.
If you don't "use" the energy, you don't have to cool it away.
