What is the usual temperature range of a Thunderbird?
I am getting about 53 C cpu/39 C motherboard.

My TBird950 usually runs at about 49C under load. This was significantly affected by removing a drive bay cover in the case to allow more air in the front of the chassis. Prior to that it would run at around 52C. AMD has a bunch of thermal specs "AMD Athlon System Cooling Guidelines" on their web site

Hummmm...... my 1.0Ghz runs @34c with MoBo temp @29c. I have a 7300 rpm fan on my heatsink and a kick-ass Antec case. Are you using thermal paste between your Athlon and heatsink? If so, try without it or maybe just an ultra thin layer.

i have the antec full tower case 300w. I did not use any thermal paste. I received the retail box cpu. So I did not think I needed thermal paste.
