My AMD 1.333mhz is running @ around 47~50c on idle and goes up to around 55c while i'm playing game and other stuff.. is this normal or do i have problem with my cpu fan?

hm... No signature.. :)

Well, for that speed you temps are a little high. What hsf are you using. Try some thermal compound. May be it'll bring down the temps a little. Below 50 should be fine, but try adding some case fans (2), that might help too.

:cool: Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we can get

I'm Using thermaltaker Super Orb as my HSF... and i did put some thermal compound b4 i place the super orb... You think i should replace the hsf?? and is it possible to do it with out any cracking my CPU?

AMD's absolute temp maximum is 90 C up to 1000 MHz and 95 C over that. Anyone even close to these temps is one step away from a toasted CPU.
AMD's specs contained in "AMD Thermal, Mechanical, and Chassis Cooling Design Guide" (p. 13, Publication # 23794 Rev: B Issue Date: October 2000) gives the following guidelines:

CPU up to 48 watts: C/W of .55
CPU up to 55 watts: C/W of .41
CPU up to 70 watts: C/W of .32

C/W means that for every watt the CPU radiates, the heatsink is supposed to cool the core by C/W x watts plus ambient temp. AMD specs system temp at 45 C, which is on the warm side. What all this means when you run the numbers is the following:

CPU up to 48 watts: 26.4* + 45 = 71.4 C
CPU up to 55 watts: 22.6 + 45 = 67.6 C
CPU up to 70 watts: 22.4 + 45 = 67.4 C
*(48 x .55)

Now that's AMD's Guideline; if you're overclocking, experience has been that temps in the mid 40s and up will start to impact stability. Temps per AMD are OK at normal speeds and voltages.
