Comment:
Whats the recommended temperature of an athlon xp 3000 cpu. Mine runs at maximum load 54C/129F with a 60mm fan & aluminum heatsink, Is this normal or should I upgrade to a larger fan ?
Is that coming from the BIOS or software? If I were you, I'd run dual prime95 for 2 hour and then check the temperature in the BIOS to see if 54C is the max load. If yes, then there is nothing to worry about. In fact, you don't have to worry anything until the temperature go above 70C...

Good for you cyberlantz. Now, when cap81 gets a copper heatsink "with" heatpipes, maybe he can comment on your statement. Now, back to the question in hand..........
