CPU Temperature Monitoring & Limits

I have almost the exact same set up you do, except I have a 1800+. Your CPU
is running at normal temperature. They just run freaking hot as hell. The
only thing you can do is water cool it to get it to a lower temp. Otherwise
your pretty much SOL. That is the reason, in fact, I am switching to a P4
1.6B (cause you can OC the hell out of it) at it runs about 90 degrees
farenheit, standard. I do not need a heat lamp for a PC.

hot, and no mater what I have tried it still runs hot. Idle about 57°c and

I have done.

different 2100+ processors, two different 350watt power supplies, i have
tried the oem heat sink & fan that came with it and my volcano 7+ runs
faster and cooler, still hot. tested my friends 1800+ and he ran in the 40s
with my setup. My room Temp is about 80-82°F. I replaced all the fans in the
chase with 2600rpm 80x80xwhatever fans, that supplies a little more airflow
along with the power supply that has the extra fan in it. All my cables are
tied off and out of the way for maximum air flow. But the damn thing runs
hot. I'm reasonably sure that I'm not overclocking anything.

temp below 70°c is fine. I'm still not to happy about my temp being in the
60s. But I have been running this computer for over a 4week and I have not
had it crash yet, even after 8hours of compiling.

60°c all the time.
