OCd 2400+

[vagabond]

Got my Athlon 2400+XP clocking @ 2600+ = 2000Mhz @ 2100Mhz.

Got SETI running in the background and a couple of other things so the CPU is at 100% workload. Anyways, SANDRA is registering 60 Celcius. Is that ok? My CPU cooler is rate up to 3200+

60c is about the limit I'd want to let it get. Its probably ok at that point, but getting it down would be a good idea for long life and stability.

What is the mobo temp and room temp? How's your airflow (and/or tell us a bit about your case & fans)? Are you using stock HSF or an add-on (and which one)?

I have an XP2600+ clocked at 2196mhz (just about 3200+ speed) with the stock HSF and I don't break 55C under load (F@H), and that only when its about 30c in the room, usually it stays under 50c. Your temps seem high to me based on that.
