the idle temps for the cpu should be around 40-45c depending on room temp and around 50-55c underload mobo temp should be a few degrees higher then the room temp (poss 5f)

k i did some tests and it looks like the load temp tops out at 51 and the idle is 33. i have it clocked from 2.8 to 3.09. do you think I could go higher?? and is it normal that the mobo temp doesent really fluctuate when there is and isnt a load? it seems to just stay around 31 C no matter what is going on.

I have my P4 2.6 overclocked to 3.01. You should be able to get a 2.8 higher than where it is now, but since you have an HP PC, I'm not sure if that would mean limits on how high you can go.
