Ive got a 3800+ and it runs at 59 celcius and i think it gets a bit too hot from other people telling me that... so im thinking of buying or upgrading my fans :confused:
 
Where are you getting the temperature reading from and what is the case temperature?
I'd say that that is a bit warm for a processor but if your system isn't unstable there might not be a problem.
 
Yeah, that's a bit warm. Are you getting enough fresh air into your system? What kind of HSF are you using?
 
45c is a temp to target at, it has alot to do with the HSF and the case itself, i have an aluminium case, two 120mm fans and my proc stays at 30 - 32c with no load, it use to be at 44c no load before i switched cases, if your plannig on getting new case fans try to get some 120's , or just get a really good heatsink and fan
 
Yes, but most cases come standard with 80mm fans. I've only seen 120mm fans in "nicer" cases. Of course this will all still depend on what kind of case Faaj has.
 
still not as hot as the prescott

Not all prescotts run hot.

If thats the burn temp then you're prolly ok. If thats your idle them then id prolly panic ;)

well one problem is that the computer is in a cupboard which is designed to be with the table....before i had a 5yr old pentium 2 which didnt really get hot so it didnt matter so if got the back of the cuboard screwed off and the temps gone down to 52 celcius. :D
