what type of casse is it?

do you have any pics?

how many case fans do you have? you should atleast have 1 intake 1 exhaust atleast this does not include the psu fan?

if you can get the temps to mid 50's under load you should be ok. still high and I wouldn't even think of overclocking but its ok

There are 2 exhaust fans.

According to AMD the max temperature for the CPU is 90 degrees C. Does this mean the temperature it will brake?

That is the maximum temperature they are rated to withstand without being damaged, BUT you should not get anywhere near that. The internal core temperature is usually about 10c higher than what your board measures in the socket.

Well I guess not seeing as you've been running at 80C socket, which means 90C on the diode and you're somehow running stable. It makes no sense to me. You should have had a meltdown by now and you would have been calling Falloutboy for sure.

As others have said, MBM must not be accurately recording your temperatures.

Case temps don't cause that much of a problem. Come on guys, don't you remember the days before the 7 case fan computers like everyone uses nowadays. My thinking is that this guy doesn't have his HSF properly mounted. It could be turned the wrong way (big problem for AMD users), or it is just over-temping. I would suggest a new heatsink/fan, maybe spend $20-30 on a new heatsink/fan, and about $5 on some AS5. If installed correctly, I would not worry at all about your case temps. If it is still reporting high temps, I would just say....F it....it just reports high. My IC7 reports high, temps are just relative, they do not mean your system is about to melt down.

VTboy, let the cpu run at 100% usage for about 30minutes. Then open up the case and touch the heatsink with your finger, if it's just a little warm your ok. If it's hot though or actually hurts your hand then you definatly need to remove the heatsink. Clean off the heatsink and cpu, put some new thermal compund on and then put the heatsink back on. Maybe even get a new heatsink. If those temps are correct then that is definatly too hot and you don't want to keep running your pc at those temps.

"Also it is a Palomino Core not a Barton."

Paly's run VERY hot.... I had a 2000+ that would hit 72C occasionally. (I was using fan filters)
Go buy a better HS/F. Your processor's days are numbered. Mine died!

My overclocked Pally 2000+ never got over 45c with a Thermalright AX-7 and a 40 cfm fan. I don't think they run much hotter, plus they have more core area in contact with the heatsink than the smaller Tbreds.

I think MBM is just reporting an inflated temp. Go into the BIOS and check temps there. Your system would be crashing constantly with those temps.
