Hey all. I'm fairly new to the insides of a computer. I use MotherBoard Monitor to see the temperature of my computer. What I need to know is, what is a safe operating temperature for my computer.

I have a 2.0 Celeron, 768 Ram, a CD\DVD-ROM drive, and a Ge-Force FX 5500 graphics card.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Longhair
 
You're ok up to about 60 celcius. Be sure to calibrate your motherboard using mbm version 5.3.7.0. Look for your board under the config wizard. If you don't know the model number, cpuid is a good program for checking specs.
