Hi, I'm sort of a newbie to overclocking so bear with me.
I've got a xp1800+ tbred (A? B?) that I'm putting on my shuttle an35n-ultra board. I have a fairly large cooler master HSF, aluminum without a copper interface, I'm not sure what model. Its nothing special though, I got it for free.
I just set the system up yesterday, and it was only a quick peek but it looked like I was getting 40c idle in bios. Before I took the cpu and fan out of the old abit kv7a board it was in I'm pretty sure it was around 34c in the bios idle. I had just done a format and reinstall of windows though when I checked so who knows.
Is this how hot these cpus should be running? After seeing people posting temps like 34c idle and 40c load I'm a little worried about my chip. I was planning on doing a mild overclock. Running the memory and fsb at 200 and setting the multiplier to 8x (the lowest one) for 1600mhz. That really only a 67mhz overclock since the stock speed is 1533. Should I be worried about this? I wasn't before, but my temps seem a little high so now I am a little.
(Of course I have a pally 1900+ right next to me with a thermaltake low profile hsf right now thats get 46c idling in bios....hmmm. Maybe all amd cpus just run hot as hell)

. My 1700+ is sitting at 52 idle right now with the stock HSF. I should be getting my slk-947U in the mail today and can't wait to put it on. I'm hoping it will drop the temps alot with a 92mm fan on it. Big step up from my stock
