AMD 3000+ Venice

My mom is Ripping CD's and thats it. My monitor says my processor is running at full load and its at 39 degrees celsius. I have no idea why music ripping should take that much load! Any ideas, its stock, no oc.

EDIT: Resolved, never use yahoo messenger it hogs cpu

my ven.3000 runs at 35 idle, maybe 38 when ripping/burning. and that is slightly overclocked, i dont think you should worry.

its not amazingly hot. i mean AMD's have a threshold of something like 82°c. plus, the cpu is overclocked by ALOT
