its at like 44 with a alpha pep on it. i sanded down the feet on the alpha so that it would touch the metal to metal. i was just wondering what the usual temps are on a duron. thanks!

For mine at 900Mhz, it's 49 degrees. At 1Ghz, it's 52 degrees idle, 55 degrees heavy usage.

mines is a 600 duron rated at 600. no overclocking here. its at 47 degrees. i left it idle for about ten hours now. just got on to check out the boards, and it says its at 47 degrees. hope that is not too bad.

what heatsinks fans are you guys using? i get 31C when i'm using tbird 750 @ 1ghz. and i'm using the alpha's with arctic silver. High 40's seems pretty high during idle. make sure you check the temps after the computer has been on for a few minutes rather than using the bios. use via monitor program that came with you motherboard
