is it normal?
Thanks

Yeah, that's pretty normal.

AMD typically run hot...Just part of the AMD life I guess.

If you want cooler running processors, go with Intel.

My AMD Athlon typically runs about 52ºC also, and that is with a 7000rpm fan on it.

Seems fairly high, but it is dependant on many aspects. What heatsink are you using? How is the airflow setup in your case? What is the temperature of the room the computer is in?

the room temp isnt higher then 25C
the prob is the computer freezes with diffrent error messages one of them is "irql not less or equal" ive heard it got something to do with foulty memory, is that true? anyway i tried to remove one of my memory slots but it didnt help...

Any other ideas?

I also updated my bios and all of my drivers

What heatsink/fan combo? Have you dusted out your case recently? What kind of intake/exhaust fans does your case have? How many and where are they located?

Are you running your memory timings aggressive? For me, this caused errors when the load got heavy. Heat is a bad thing, but the procs are supposed to be rated to somewhere around 80C. I don't think I'd ever go that high.....I don't like mine any higher than 50*C
