Acceptable Temperatures....

[TechHead87]

What are acceptable temperatures for cases, CPUs, graphics cards, mobos, and anything else? I'm sort of a noob when it comes to cooling....but I'm getting there.

I've got a Coolermaster case with 2 case fans (one in the back, pushing air out of the back, and one on the side, pushing air out of the side...my PSU has two fans, and of course my P4 3.0ghz has fan/heatsink). I've got Asus A.I. Booster software, and my CPU always reads between 47c-52c degrees

I think the cpu should be less than 60C. Gpus can take more IIRC about 80C. But yeah pretty much try to keep 'em all under 60C for safety.

Different graphics cards are different, but for the CPU, keep it under 60 and it'll be good.
