Whats a good temp? x2 3800 +

[Jimbo]

I am seeing temps around 33 - 35c idle on my x2 3800+ thats with my freezer 64. Is this good or bad?

Im going to try and overclock it in the future but am unsure if this is a decent temp.

X2's run hotter than single core chips for obvious reasons, but the limit is the same, I'd make sure it's kept below 55c. Your idle temp seems normal.

my 4400 runs at 36-37 idle an its over clocked to 2.53, can push to 2.75 but over heats an im only using air cooling atm, so your temp would be fine.

It's the load temps you're interested in, not stock.

Stock speed, Zalman 9500pro, 1.3v.
Idling at 26 degrees. Just went up to 34 when running 2xSuperPI 4MB
-Normally at stock its nearer 30...

at 2.4GHz, 1.45v, its idles around 30 again, and reaches about 45 under full load.
