    Depends on CPU type as some of the newer ones do have higher tollerances to heat, but a quick rule of thumb, "Keep it under 50c at full load" and if around 40c at idle then that would be near as dammit normal for arguments sake.

    Note: CPUs like to be cool so real ideal woudl be as cool as possible.... but not always possible as things liek room temp, how tidy the inside of your case, how many HDs and other hardware components and how good is your airflow all add up to how cool or not is your PC

    I say if it's under 50 deg C, I'm happy - when it goes over 60 deg. C, I worry.
