What is normal CPU operating TEMP.

[WWS]

My system under normal operating conditions is between 36-38 Deg. C is this good?? what should I expect when pushing the CPU??

That's fine for an amd if you have an amd.

Yes I have an AMD X2 4800+

nice!
yeah the temps are fine...

Are those load or idle? If they're load, it's fine, but if they're idle, thats a bit high.

if it hits 50, then it's getting kinda high. 55 would be about the limit before you start worrying.

Agreed. ^^^

I used to run my 2500+ barton at 54 degrees C. (under load)
It was a sh!tter and would only overclock to a 3000+.

I never had any problems.

nice but the bartons did run hotter than the 64's mine does between 26-28 idle and 30-32 load with stock cooler

Athlon XP's run otter than Athlon 64's. 60 is a bit high for them, 65 degrees would tell you you need to do something
