Dose any one know what temperature my processor should be running at if not over clocked during gaming and should it be cooler when just surfing the web instead of gaming. My processor is a Intel Inside P4 2.8Ghz with original heat sink and fan.

You are going to idle in the 40's C and under stress go up to 63 C or someplace in that neighborhood. It can go higher without doing damage to the rig, but I would not like mine to do that. If it would be the Northwood, it would be almost 10C less than that. That is my opinion.
