Just built a new system, and was just wondering what are acceptable tempseratures to be running at. CPU hovers around 28-32 degs, GFX card at about 36-38. The northbridge temp is up at 62 tho, is this normal or should I be concerned?

It helps if you say what cpu you have

Geezer

it's a P4 2.6, but socket A boards don't have a northbridge as far as I know, that's why I didn't say, sorry

well for that cpu in fact any p4 thats an ok temp on load, probably drop to 50 when idle, i spoke to intel at length about this and if your p4 is retail boxed you get the 3 year warranty, then if it overheats just call tehm, they will replace it, as long as you dont tell them you have oem fan. Mine runs about the same temp i have never had any problems. Also the p4 doesnt break it just cuts out, cools down and is ready to go again if it gets that hot
