temp at 55C on AMD1200C@1400, is this too hot ?

[Guest]

I have a AMD1200C@1400, 1.75V, Asus A7A266MB, 512SDRAM,
V7100Graph, 40GBHD

MB temps are at 30C.
CPU when idle 51C, when Q3 for 2hrs 55C.

The case has 5 fans, all doing a nice job on the MB, but i
think the cpu is 2 hot or what ?
CPU cooled with a Tiasol, the one with cobber, and a Delta
black label on top.
Temps are from PCProbe.

T-DIE for a AMD above 1000 Mhz is 95C, But i still have room to spare, but you all talk like it is too hot when its above normal room temps ?
Am I doing all right, or should i go for another CPU cooler ?

Your temp is OK. ASUS Probe's temp reading is usually higher than real temp ~5-10C. Using <b><A HREF="http://mbm.livewiredev.com" target="_new">Motherboard Monitor</A></b> for more accurate reading.

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

Your temps are fine. Asus adjusted their BIOS to read 10C higher than normall. Not certain that MBM 5 is the answer since it's being misreported in BIOS and that will not be changing with BIOS revisions.

Thanks for your info, now i only have to deside if the
small hair dryer(Delta Black label) is possible to live with.
