Hello there. I have an Athlon xp2500 overclocked to 3200 speeds (400 fsb). It's on an asus A7N8X-E mobo with 1 gig value select ram, AIW radeon 9600 pro, two 80 gig sata drives (raid 0), all in a sonata case with front and rear 120mm fans. Voltage fluctuates between 1.68 and 1.7. Idle temps around 49, load temps never go above 58. I know lower is always better, but my question is.. are these temps way too high, or will they be ok? I don't want to have to replace my hsf if I don't have too. Thanks for the help. Btw it seems very stable, never any wierd stuff going on, prime stable for 6+ hours.
 
No, you should be fine with those temps.

The Barton core is good up to about 70-80C. While those temps are little on the high side, I really wouldn't worry about it until the load temp hits 60C. You shouldn't have any instability problems running at 58C.
