Overheat CPU

[Guest]

What's the common temperature for AMD Athlon Th-bird to work properly? Is the over heating over 70 degree Celcius will cause permanent damage for the CPU? if not, how high is the temperature will cause permanent damage the CPU? is that also cause the shorter life span for the CPU also?
thanks.

70c is running a little bit warm, you might want to try and get it to about 50c or lower. I think AMD says 89c is when you're house explodes and people are running around screaming for there lives.
