Some say it is some say it isn't...I just say if it is stable, then it will be fine.

But the rule of thumb is to try to keep your CPU under 50c. Usally after 50c or so you start to get into heat issues which causes instability.

BTW - Your CPU can take up to 90c before it fries, most will take more then that, but that is the temp AMD states will fry it.

MBM has been know to report the CPU wrong.

WCPUID is more accurate.

As long as your not overclocked, that temperature is probably fine. If it's stable, then you have nothing to worry about. Unless summer comes of course...

with the speed issue all motherboards differ slightly in there fsb setting. for example if you set it at 166 it will really be like 166.22513
