Amd 1,4 Mhz Fsb266 Critical Temperature

[Guest]

The temperature of my CPU, during the normal use, is around 51C.
Is that a safe temperature?
How much is the max temp the CPU can reach without burn up ?
How much should the temp be ?

Thank you to anyone can answer me.

Your cpu temp is about normal for a stock heatsink (if that's what you're using). You may want to add another case fan in the front or back. I reduced my temps by switching to a better power supply. Enermax is the one of the quietest and sparkle if my personal favorite. Any of the better ps will have lots of vents around the cover to draw in warm air and remove it from your system. Check the amd website and see if your ps is listed as recommended by amd. The athlon is designed to run at up to 90 celcius, but anything above 60 can cause system instability.

Think thats around normal for a TB 1.4gig. I've got a XP 1600 and that runs at about 42c under load.
Can't remeber the name of my HSF and i don't have any case fans either.
