Cpu too hot?
i have an Asus P5GD1 mobo, with Intel P4 530J 3.0GHz, and i used the Asus Probe Utility that comes with the mobo driver CD, and saw that the CPU temp is 60 degrees celcius, while the mobo temp is 48 degrees. Is that too hot?

My friend also has an P4 3.0 GHz, and he says his is around 60 degrees celcius, so I am pretty sure that is normal.

That's a Prescott so it will tend to run hot, but you might want to consider a cooling upgrade if you are still running a stock HSF and game with it.

I have a P4 530 as well, when I was running with the stock cooler it idled @~35 on hot days (when it hits 25+deg inside my house), so something is amiss.

I posted pictures in this thread.
