what is the normal temp for a P3 933mhz?whats the MAX?when i fold on this one box it gets all the way to 48C. the only cooling is the cpu fan and a teeny exhaust fan from the PSU. this case is shaped like a VHS. i say about 1U so cooling is limited. or maybe is the board censors. the board is called an ECS P6STP-FL.
 
Usually, a overclocked P-III would start showing signs of instability at about mid-40's. One at stock speed might tolerate a tad more. I usually tried to keep my old P-III under 40 degrees. Sounds like a little better case ventilation might be in order. If there is no other place for an intake fan, maybe make a blowhole in the side?
