AMD 1100 Overheat??

Well, I noticed the other day that my pc has been running a bit hot. (Looking at it rige ht now in bios, i have a 60c/140f proc temp and a 39c/102f mobo temp.) I have a full tower case, five fans (p/s fan, two blowing out, a slot fan under the vid card, and one pulling in.)

I have a bad feeling that the proc is cooking itself. I have heatsink grease on the heatsink (no thermal pad), and the fan is turning at 5300rpm. I hate to cook this thing..

BTW the proc is a AMD Athlon 1100 (100fsb ver), not overclocked.

That's not an unreasonable temp for that processor.

My AMD duron 1.3Ghz stayed about that.I also had good cooling.

TBird's ran pretty hot. What kind of cooler you have on there? If it's a tiny all-aluminum thing you're fine. If you have a copper-beast on there with a 5k+ rpm fan I'd say it might be a contact problem between the die and heatsink.

could be dust buildup on your heatsink

I have a Thermaltake orb-style cooler. I have been seeing varying temps from 50c to 60c. Just as added insurance, i installed the asus probe software to keep an eye on the temp while in windows. it is set to shut the system down if the temp gets any hotter 70c.

<sarcasm>When you see fire then its too hot<sarcasm> It's a little warm, but nothing I would lose sleep about.
