I just got a new AMD 2400XP and ECS K7VTA3. I'm running prime95 torture test to test for max heat, power consumption, etc setting. The Motherboard Monitor says that the CPU is running at 63 degrees celsius, is that too hot?

Good luck getting it to read that low with the sensor built into an ECS mobo.

I just helped put together a ECS system with a tbred 2400... temps were in the ~40-50 degree range (although I have to admit, the heatshink/fan combo he bought for it was unnecessarly big)

My Gigabyte setup runs anywhere from 35-50C depending on the time of year :D

ECS temps are far from reliable.

Is this a well known problem with ECS motherboards?

You are fine, 95C is burnout
Eh, heat takes a toll on electrical parts. What are your case temperatures? I refuse to run a processor higher than 60.

My case temp ranges from 27-80 degrees celsius.

As long as it's stable, it's fine. Are you really worried that your cpu might die from thermal death 4-5 years from now?

And KT333 chipsets are infamous for reading core temps on TbredB and later cpus about 10C too high (if reading from the on-die sensor), so you probably have nothing to worry about anyway.
