Hey Everyone,
What's the standard/normal operating temperature for the AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (1533MHz). I mean the normal temperature with a standard cheapo HSF and no overclocking. I know that many of you people will tell me extreme watercooling temperatures but I would like to know the normal temperature.
And also what temperature is extreme as I might o/c my AXP 1800+.
Thanks All
ToF

Not sure, but I'd guess around 43-48C at full load. 45C would be where I'd say to myself, "That's too hot. I need to back off on the OC."

I take the motherboard's readings with a handfull of salt however, and aim for sub-40C.
