i've got a p4 3ghz/800fsb running at 3.33 or somthing like that, what is typical idle and load temps?

mine idles from about 32-34, until i do somthing that requires a lot out of it, then next time it settles down it'll stay around 36/38 ish.

load is about 54, 55 max.

Hi,

Those temps are very good for that unit with what you are doing. Keep enjoying that cushion of having excellent temps.

seriously? thats 'good' not just 'ok' ?

what are 'high' operating temps then, if i may ask.
since i switched cases my mobo keeps cooler than ever, used to frequent 30-34.

now its 25-29(tops).
well, i guess its good to know my temps are ok.
i put it together so long ago, i wasn't sure if the 'artic silver' was worn off some, or just applied bad...hahaha.

thanks man.

Hi,

You are most welcome. Many with that processor would love to have the temps you have. Those babies tend (in most cases) to run rather hot. I would say that if you are under-stress temps of over 62c, then you are in trouble. You don't need to worry about that. Have a great evening.
