On msn n browsing the web n all its like 35-40 C

When im rendering video it goes up to50-53 C

same when playin CPU intensive games(RO n 2142)

so when is this point i should start worrying..

60 C?
 
be worried when your PC starts crashing and acting sluggish! :)

What HSF are you using? Is it fitted correctly? Is the case hot in itself? Do you have the central heating on full blast etc . . .

Personally I like to keep load temps at about 50°C if possible, but depending on the chassis/enviroment that may not be possible.

Multi-Cores are a lot hotter of course, but they still work fine even when running very hot, although I have found if the chip gets too hot then this affects the max overclock possible (chips OC better when cooler obviously!).
 
im using AMD's little thing u get in the box since my artic wont fit :(

nar the case isnt hot, its the pc v300 and the side fan on the side is right next to the CPU and gets hot air out of there realll quickly
 
Certainly doesn't seem too bad for the stock cooler, as long as it's stable I wouldn't worry, unless you wanna clock the nuts off it! My 4200 X2 runs at about 30 under load, but it's in a cold loft with a hugh cooler.
 
Yea the powersupply limits a HSF height...

I got 2.2ghz on this atm

Need to bring these temps down, be needing an AM2 cooler that aint very high

i have something like 11cm clearance.

BUT thats for another time, just ordered 19 inch widescreen Asus and Copperhead

that loft wont be cold in the summer, it will be a sauner, be careful !!!
 
Good point, however, under load with the heating on (room temp about 22C), and overclocked to 2.4Ghz, it's hitting 36-37. I should have some temperature headroom for summer, although I'm not sure how much further I could overclock it then! Guess we'll see in 6 months!
