is 120F too high for a Duron 600@750????

[Maverick2002]

the title says it all..........i just took my Duron 600 to 750 (1.6V) on a coolermaster HSF combo.....and my VIA hardware monitor says CPU temp is ~120F after prolonged use (i.e. q3arena, counterstrike, etc.)

is it too high????

What is it in Celcius? Im more familiar with tempertures using C, and so are other people. I assume 120F is around 45C? I think it's within the safe range.

actually 122F=50C, so its about like 48 or so........

Anything under 50 is pretty much safe, I wouldnt recommend running more than 50 for a long period of time.

ok ill switch my monitor over to Celsius seems like thats what everyone is using nowadays....cant wait for ddr to come out!!!!

50 and over is very common. durons run very hot compared to intels.

cool, now that i switched over to Celsius (see my sig AND put in the 80mm Sunon intake fan i got 2 hours ago , i get at 45C w/o major usage, shouldn't go past 50 after playing q3 or CS

any more tips?
thx
