Pentium 4 temperatures

[DangerMaus]

I have a pentium 4 2.4 Ghz and when I run a graphics intense game my temperature goes from about 89/90F to 105/107F. I have an Asus P4T533-C motherbaord, and the monitor that came with it has a CPU temperature alarm that goes off at 104F. I am looking for an acceptable CPU temperature range so I can know if 105/107F is ok for my cpu?
Oh yeah, that would be 42C when it's running hot. Sorry for just giving F temps.

42c under load is acceptable if not standard(depending on the room temp etc) for a P4c. There is a post somewhere not far in the cpu section called POst your temp with every1 posting their temp and their cooling methods...Go take a look
As for that alarm just raise it around 55-60 wich is still really safe and if you P4 overheat its gonna trhottle itself anyway so its not big deal.

Thanks a lot. After reading those it makes me feel much better about my temp.

God damn, my temps are high, I can get 70C under load with stock cooler, no OC and a room temp of about 40 (friggin desert here in Israel)

I had a much better usertitle but was caught trying to hack me a better one so I got my current title as a punishment

70C!!! With temps running that high....I see a short-lived cpu...

Ever think about an air conditioner or water cooling? LOL!!

40C..WOW! I would be sweating my hiney off with those temps!

intel cpu's are tested at 80 to assertain clock speeds, so I don't see the big deal, if it gets hot it underclocks it's self, it'll run for years and years at 70, my 2.8b will runs up to 53-55 at load, (thankfully it's not 40 in my room or I'd be screwed), baisicly if you're running a p4 you don't have to worry about heat unless it goes unstable.
