What are your system temps? What do you think is to high? I need to know this and have a good technical idea of what a high system temp is because I'm designing something for my computer. And this is needed. Personally, my system temp is around 25C on a cold day and maybe 31C on a warm day. But, what do you guys think is "high"? You know, the "limit"?
 
dont go higher than 56ish... i know all the athlonxp's can go way way higher then that... but thats my personal limit lol

I believe he's talking about case/mobo temps.

IMHO, you could probably go as high as 35 - 37 (I've already been there) and not damage anything, although 40 would be the limit however, I seen motherboards that got higher than 40! Acceptable? Prob 25-30 is most common. Those 35 - 37 mobo temps I got were during the blazing summer when the temperatures were 41 degrees outside with humidity.
