specifically for a 2.8E p4...

wondering so when it gets here i can check for temperatures...any input is greatly appreciated

Usually I'd say like 55+C is getting pretty hot.

EDIT: Remember when checking temps to take into consideration that some boards will read high (Most Abit's do this) or low for that matter, so it isnt totally accurate.

Yeah, some boards (like my epox) will read higher than normal temps. I don't like my processor running at anything higher than 50C idle.
