Hey all. I have a Intel 1.6 celeron in my desktop pc, overclocked it to a 1.8GHz. I put on a bigger heat sink than the one i recieved with it and i have 2GB RAM. Regularly when i am busy, writing dvds etc. (stuff thats heavy on the memory) my cpu heats up to 100 degrees C, idle comes in at about 70-80 degrees, depending on room temperature. Is this normal or should i be concerned? I have 3 HDD's and 2 DVD writers though.
