AMD 3500+ Temps.

[Fistandantilis]

I decided to play around and OC my AMD 3500+, at stock the speeds are 2.2g, right now I have it at 2.53(230x11) it runs great but I am curious about the temps, here they are:
idle=~39-40c
load=~53-54c
I have never seen it go over 54c under load, I am using RivaTuner to get these temps, do they look alright? Like I said, I am having no issues at all, the processor is running like a dream, also, I am using the stock heatsink & fan that the processor came with, it is a retail, not OEM processor.
Do the Temps seem high? What are you guys getting for speeds and temps on this processor? should I try to go higher, the processor is in the machine in my sig.

Thanks for the help

temps are fine, but you should get an aftermarket HSF.

thanks for the reply, ya, I know I should get an aftermarket cooler for the processor but the stock cooler was such a pain in the ass installing... I really dont want to have to deal with another PITA CPU cooler.
What would you recomend for a cooler that is fairly easy to install and cost effective?

again,

thanks

i'm not too familiar with AMD sockets. if yours is 754 / 939 / 940 / AM2, then i've got a Zalman 9700 Cu LED for sale. PM if you're interested.

This would keep you nice and cool, with a single core processor: Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro.

I have that processor. Is the 230x11 the ONLY change you made?
