just installed amd setup (1700+): according to abits mobo doctor, my temps are 42 degrees C (44 degrees C after running unreal2k3 for about 20 minutes). is this too high? also, i noticed the system hung a few times on reboots and i got dashed orange lines. any idea what may be causing this? thanx

Really your p4 runs at that temp, is it overclocked? That can't be its normal temp, Do the high end P4's like 2.4 GHz+ run as hot as the high end athlons, 2400 and up?

Your temp is really good, actually. 44 degrees after load? MARVELLOUS! On my stock sink+arctic silver+6500RPM fan i get 45 degrees after load (i got a 2600+ Step 1), and 41 idle.

That's a pretty good temp.

Your video card could be causing the hangs and orange lines.

Idle. While AsusProbe was running, I played Hitman2 for about 3 hours last night... the temp was 57c when I exited the game. It then slowly went back to 52c.

I don't have a stock HS. I have a copper one (it's small, but copper none the less).

And BTW, 65c isn't going to burn out your CPU. It may shorten it's life from 8 years to maybe 5 or 6 years, but who uses a CPU that long?
