Help Temp of O/C Athlon 800

[JasonBr]

What kinda CPU temp is safe for Classic Athlon 800?
Running Seti@Home i at 59C right now.

Is this safe?

Depends on what program is telling you that temp.
It is safe but I would get a new heatsink or something.

Its a VOS-32.
I have the side of my case off also.
And its in a spot that realativly cool.

I might add i have my sensor right on the core, not the heatsink.

I just added another small fan that blows over the back of the cpu(cover is off for GFD)
And I went from a max of 61C to max of 54C.

Any other ideas to get the temp down?
I think im gonna order some artic silver.
