About how hot should my A64 be running?

Ok, I'm just wondering at what temp I should start getting worried at. I don't think I'm in any danger, I just want to know. My CPU is now running at about 46C idle with my fan turned ALL the way down on the rheostat it has. When the fan is turned all the way up, it's at roughly 35-34C

I would try and keep it under 50C for load. Unless you want free heat.

cool. thanks man.

If you have a decent aftermarket HSF you won't have any problem keeping your temps below 50* C. With my Zalman 7000 HSF the only time i've gone over 50* was during a 24 hr prime priority 10 torture test. and that was with the zalman on silent mode (1300 rpm) You'd probably even be able to keep it below 50 (ost of the time at least) with the stock HSF.

Cheers,
