I saw the thread about the 3.0 being "hot" and I was wondering exactly how hot is hot ?

I'm still working on my 2.4 and with all the help from you lovely guys I've moved it from 2.4 to 3.2.

I've also gone from 88 C to 33-38 C idle but it maxs at about 46C or so load.

that doesn't seem incredibly hot but 100 F still makes me nervous. should it ?

I think because I've always been told AMD's run hot and my p4 stock was running about the same temp if not a lil more than my amd so maybe I just got lucky

Load CPU temp of 46C is good. As long as you don't go much over the low 50's you're fine.
