what temp. is too hot for a cpu?

I just looked at my cpu temp and it says 89.6 degrees fahrenheit

 

For an x2 4200, Max temp 65c


89 Fahrenheit is approx 32c, an excellent temp by the way, thats probably your Idle, what is your Max Load temp?

 

Agree'd, 89.6 F is a very good temp

 

max load is 40 to 45 degrees centigrade

 

Your Max is also Good, Anything under 50c is good.
Is that using stock HSF 4 copper heat pipe

Curious what is your MOBO?

 

Mobo is abit kn8sli nforce4 it is stock hsf is standard stock

 

Sorry if it's bad form, but are my numbers ok?

CPU and Mobo approach 50c on startup but quickly drop to anywhere between 38-46 during gaming or other use. I can definitely turn up the fan more if needed (assuming I can figure out how) right now my PC runs pretty quiet.

 

At Samthunder, It's best to start your own thread

When you do, Include your system info/specs

Sounds like Thermal controlled fans or Bios controlled
