is the a posting, or list, of what acceptable cpu temps are? after extended
flight sim (cpu usage around 90%) I get around 148-151 F.
thanks

Thanks, what temp should I start to worry at? or is that to depepndent on
configuration to say?
appreciate it

Yes. It "depends."
Take stock to begin with. The Intel data sheet will tell you what the
maximum operating temperature is and then you, yourself, specify what the
maximum ambient you want the computer to be able to operation in is. Max
CPU temp minus the max ambient you want to operate in is then your
temperature budget; which includes case temp rise and the heatsink
efficiency. Clearly, your CPU temperature can be 'in range" when the
ambient is low but not good enough for when ambient rises to your defined
maximum. I.E. If your CPU is a comfortable 10C below maximum when you're
operating 20C under maximum ambient then you're going to be 10C too hot
when the ambient is AT maximum.
The issue is more iffy when overclocking because there's no longer an
official maximum temperature "spec" since, odds are, the maximum temp it
will operate at is less than the Intel spec. Plus, with increase Vcore and
heat dissipation, the Intel maximum temp spec is no longer as safe
(lifespan reduction) as when it's operated at stock conditions.
Overclockers are trading off how hot ambient can be and have it still run,
plus lifespan, to get the faster speeds. e.g. While a stock system might
operate merrily along up to 104F an overclocked one might not get past 80F.
A stock P4 will throttle the speed back when it gets too hot. On the other
hand, when one is overclocking it might lock up before it gets throttled.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: temp guidelines |

you do not have to worry (only if P4 starts throttling down the speed,
slowing work) , that will start above 75° IMHO ...

due to drive failure (whats that cricket sound???) it took me a few to read
these.
thanks for the info all, it is very helpful.

Sorry to hear that. Literally. I am always sorry when I hear that
The guts, opened up and put in a wall mount shadow box frame, makes for a
nice computer geek display though.

If what you mean is that a chkdsk surface scan finally marked all the bad
sectors then I'd strongly suggest you consider getting a new drive because
once they start getting bad sectors they go downhill fast.

working on that right now, but funds are an issue. I do have backup fully
set though so won't be to big an issue.

Know what you mean. I finally broke down and got a 120 gig as they're on
sale at Office Max for 80 bucks after rebate.
