Athlon 2500 Oced to 3200 temps

[d2arcturus]

my processor runs at 36°C idle (up to about 44°C under load), is this too hot for a heatsink setup with a thermaltake volcano 12 and as5? just wondering, i may have to reapply the as5 to get better contact

I use AS3 and it takes a few days to set. After that temps go down 2-3 degrees C .

I think those are good temps for being overclocked. I wouldn't worry too much about them. And temps will drops about 3C like coolroyboy2 said.

very low temps, you should be very happy with those numbers.

Ditto.....
You could make your system quieter by undervolting your fans.
Don't worry about a thing if you are under 50C.

My temps run similar if I turn up my fans, but running my case and cpu fans @ 7v I am currently @ 26C(case) and 47-48C(cpu)(100%load). same processor and overclock.

sound... i have a decent speaker system and stuff, sound doesn't bother me, my processer and case fans are all adjustable anyhow
