CPU Temperature for AMD XP 3200+

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

My CPU temperature runs at approx 46c when idle and goes up to about 51c
with processor intensive usage.

Is this normal, or is it a bit on the high side?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Thanks

I am using Motherboard Monitor 5 to get those temps (So I'm not sure how
accurate they are),

Thanks again

My mobile Barton overcloked to 2.5ghz is 34c idle ?, you say 46idle
for a 3200 ? at 2.2 ghz is good ?


Though iam talking these readings on a cold mornng, but at day time,
its like 36,38c idle.

My 1800 oc'd to 19xx mhz is 47 degrees at full load, idles around 39-41
depending on my AC habits.

vantec aeroflow I think.
