Overclocking p4 2.8c help

[neotech]

Hi

I'm new to overclocking and just recently bought myself a msi 865pe fisr mobo and 2.8c cpu. I'm able to oc the cpu easily to 3.2ghz on stock cooler by increasing the fsb to 231mhz . The system runs rock solid and no crashes but I'm not sure about the cpu and system temps. On idle they are:

cpu - 44c
sys - 46c
nb - 28c

but during heavy use the cpu temp can rise to 60c and the sys to about 55. Is this normal or too hot? I don't know please help.

thanks

your system temp seems a bit high!
what sort of case ventilation have you got?

I had similar board, just neo2ls, for few days before I returned it. You temperatures are abnormal, particularly the system one.

Ive got a Lian Li aluminium case with 3 case fans and a antec 380watt psu. My room temp is high at the mo, its around 30c, damn baking hot summer days!

p4 2.8c @ 3.2ghz stock cooler

What should my case temp be on average? providing the corecentre readings are accurate!
