I'm running a 8K7A Mobo with a 1.4 AMD @ 1.53
The question is I was wondering what a good temp would be?
50c underload 44c idle. Is this something to worry about 50-51 c
The fan is a Delta3 on a CGK760092 Heat sink http://store.yahoo.com/inflowdirect/taiscgforhea1.html

As for the jumper on the voltage setting on my motherboard makes my voltage go from 1.79 default to 1.89 for the next setting. But I was having errors sometimes with it on 1.79. So I bumped it up to the next setting and its running fine. I have good air flow in the case, 2 large intake fans and 2 large outtake fans.

I just need some advice from anyone that has the same setup. On the Sandra software, I look at the bios info for my current temp. I have heard the the bios is not correct, but I needed some kind of guild line on what it was running. So just sitting here typing this it runs around 44c but when I run the CPU burn-in program
it jumps to 50c or so after its done. Any advice. Or is this safe, and for how long.

"Using Grease and not the stock crap on the heat sink btw..."

Thats to high. i have the same CPU. its very stuboorn when it comes to overclocking and heat. I am at 1.6ghz stable which is the one of the highest i have seen it go. I have a swiftech 462-a with a delta fan and artic silver 2 grease and underload my temps are about 43c and idle at 39c which is dam good considering the ******* 1.4 cpus. Get at least a globalwin cak38 or gladiator. Make sure to have at least a good 350 watt enermax or antec power supply.

Yea I got a 400 watt power supply now, just don't have any artic silver grease,
Im just running the regular old style grease on my heat sink. I wish I could find
a place in Dallas, Tx where Im at that has it, I would hate to order only that online.
Might cost me more in shipping then the Grease itself lol. But If I cant find it here
I will. How much would it drop my temp you think.

And thank you for the responce to my question...
