my brothers xp is clocked up to 2.0ghz and i havnt really checked temps for about a year etc all temps are acceptable, but the xp 2000 is running at 52c idle, is this an ok temp, he also plays no games so i dont think it gets much strain except msn etc. this was my old chip and its been in the family for about 3 years now what a solid chip :p

That's fine

It's very likely that his chip has the Palamino core, notorious for running rather hot. 53 idle is great, especially in this weather

it is also overclocked to 2.0ghz
