I just bought and installed a XP 2200+. I used artic silver and applyed a certified heatsink. At first the cpu temp was like 125 degrees F but is now around 110. Thats still high isnt it? is that thermal junk kickin in?

that's actually pretty cool.

Upper limit is 75 degrees celcius, under 60 us usually good (and what I want to keep mine at)

C --> F: F = 9/5 C + 32
F --> C: C = 5/9 (F- 32)

110 - 32 = 78
5/9 * 78 = 43.33


Dang, that's chilli. You got yourself one cool processor
