what kind of cooling do you have on your cpu? and is it seated on the processor correctly?

Other factors to consider is the air circulation in the case and the room temp.

Doesn't sound unusual, there are too many factors to list that effect case and cpu temp. I'd say as long as your under 60C load and your stable you'll be fine.

For an XP it's normal but for an A64 it's kind of hot.

ok, well the room is quite warm, we have an older home with not-top-of-the-line circulation...the lower 2 floors are freezing and the 2nd floor is hot.. =\
so is 50-65*C safe load temp for barton 3200+? and yes, stock cooling, mid tower, with fairly clean cabling, and 2 90mm fans (1 exhaust, 1 intake)

65 is kind of pushing it but it will survive. Low 60's was as far as I would go with my 2500 but 3200 run hotter.

As long as your stable, it should be ok.
Have you tried re-seating the HSF? What paste are you using? How much are you using? (Should use very little) If your using generic paste, you might pick up some AS5 as that should drop it a couple of degrees.
