I have an Athlon XP 2100+, which I think I may be having a temperature problem. It not freezing or anything like that, but my CPU temp. is around 73/74 C (163 F), I think that's too much. And my box is open ! I'm using amd XP box cooler, which I thought would work fine. It at 5357 rpm, which I think is normal. I have 6 extra coolers on my box, wondering, is that a good temp ? should I get a new cooler ? I did use thermal pasta. MB temp is around 43C.

It is not locking up, it is not too high.
Your temp reads high, but its probably a miscalabrated probe, believe me there is no danger to your cpu (no matter what its temp) untill you start getting lockups.
You do realise that giving temperatures without stating <font color=red>ROOM TEMPERATURE</font color=red> is pretty meaningless.
i noticed both your CPU and motherboard are very high. 43C for an open case mobo temp is verging on silly.
if your room temp is 18C i would assume that the program used to read the temps is way off!
if the room temp is like 35C then your temperatures wouldnt suprise me.

My room temp is around 15 celcius, it's Winter here in South Brazil. But I dont get a big diference closing the box, cpu goes up to 76 C and MB to 45 C, still stable. It's odd because I'm using amd's cooler (box). My motherboard is Asus KT333, BIOS/Asus pc probe, show same temp for MB and CPU. Any ideas ?
oh yes. i see your problem sitting there. so glaringly obvious.
you are using asusprobe. thats your problem.
extreemly unreliable piece of software.
i dont call it analprobe for nothing
delete it immediately and use something else.
i reccomend Motherboard Monitor.

i have used asusprobe on my a7v133 before MBM & even along with MBM (ran one then the other in the same session) & i have constated no temps difference between both.
