What temps are people getting on AMD cpu's

[ultra laser]

My Athlon 64 3200 venice runs 33/42 (idle/load) celcius. It's oc'd to 2500MHz and uses a core voltage of 1.5. This is all using the stock cooler. I'm very impressed at how cool this chip runs.

isnt 72C too hot?

Yeah, 72C is too hot. Here's why: AMD motherboards use the cpu socket temp (temp 1 in SpeedFan) to determine when to throttle, and when to shut down, not the mistakenly high core #1 core temp. You should set your shut down temp to either 60C or 65C, whichever you're more comfortable with.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Do you mean that the actual core temperature on an AMD CPU, is considerably higher than what it's reporting? BTW, how do you set the shut down temp?
