Just installed a new motherboard and CPU and I have a question about the CPU temperature. The motherboard is a MSI KM4AM-V and the CPU is a Sempron 2800+. The heatsink/fan combo is CompUSA brand mirrored copper heatsink with 80x80x25mm at .14 amps.
Anyways, when I boot the computer up cold, immediately the CPU temperature is 49C and by the time it gets to Windows it idles already at 54-55C. When I run at 100% it levels out at 59-60C. I haven't run any graphic intensive programs yet that get my Radeon 9600XT going which I think might push the temperature over 60C. I thought that cold booting already at 49 was really odd so I updated the BIOS, unfortunately that didn't do anything.
This is my first mod, so my questions are:
1) Is it odd to cold start at such a high temperature already?
2) If these are the correct temperatures, is this something I should be worried about?
