My CPU is 53C under load!!!

[overst33r]

I have a 1.16 GHz Palomino and i was playing C&C Generals and i restarted because it froze and i noticed my CPU temp is 53C, I am aware of the palomino core running hot, but i dont know if this hot is okay.

....... you're fine, play on, nothing will happen, RELAX! I hit like 58'C when i'm under load. And i'm running an oc'd cpu.

If you havent cleaned the heatsink in ages, make sure to check that any dust or other debrie is absent which can otherwise cause interference of airflow.

You're ok. My former system based on a 2000+ Palomino got idle temps of 50C+ and close to 60C when at full load.
