P4 2.4B CPU temp

External Since: May 04, 2004 Posts: 11

I'm new to building systems and overclocking. I have a 2.4B clocked to
2.75Ghz right now. It's running at around 50*C. Is that dangerously high? I
have two 80mm case fans, and I'm using the stock Intel heatsink on the cpu.
My room is always about 80*F, because my roommates are too cheap to keep the
A/C on... Thanks!

Is 50c your idle or 100% processor usage temp? for a retail Intel HSF
and overclocked processor 50c sounds very reasonable i wouldn't worry.

here is a link to an intel pdf with thermal designs look on page 63.
