Hi..do any of you guys know what is the range of acceptable cpu temperature. Mine is showing a temperature of 50 degrees celcius now. I do have thermal protection on my Soltek motherboard which will automatically shut down the system if the cpu reaches 85 degress celcius.

40-60 is typical operating temps for most people. I would personally set it to shut off after going over 65C.
