safe tempuratures?

dnichols27 · 04-08-2008, 05:19 PM

Can someone let me know what the safe temps for my comp should be, or where I can find the info.
my proc thermal marg is 29c
my motherboard 52c which seems high to me
ich 63
mch 74c

these are all without a load, just in the bios

I'm looking into overclocking, but I want to make sure I have a safe comp first

you should try and keep your loaded CPU temps below 60C
