CPU Temp

[newbunch]

I have a P4 2.4GHZ (200/800 bus) with an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe. I overclocked it 30% in the BIOS. At rest, the CPU temp is 45 C. If I max out the CPU (using SETI), the CPU temp goes up to 63 C. The MB temp stays constant at about 35C. (BTW, this is Phoenix, AZ in the summer.)

At what temperature should I start worrying about overheating? So far, everything has run perfectly with the overclocking. No crashes, no freezes, no problems at all.

hmmm 63C is a tad high for a pentium.
Though as you arnt experiencing any problems it might be ok

*shrug*
Better cooling is allways nice, but sometimes hard to tell if that temp will be damaging in the long term or not.
Personally i would look aroud for a better cooling solution.

70 celsius is when I would start getting concerned for that is when your comp will randomly reboot on you or apps lock up. Anything above 80 you are really dropping the lifespand of the chip.

F-DISK-Format-Reinstal DO DA!! DO DA!!

Errm, the P4's auto-throttling feature would kick in, so the temperatures would drop quite a bit before that happens I think.
