    Post Temps ok with stock cooling?

    I am eventually gonna upgrade my hsf, but will hang on a bit if the stock cooling is going ok.. I'm using CpuIdle 5.9 and atm after a hour of surfing and previously playing Dark Age of Camelot for an extended period of time, my temp is holding steady at 40C/104F... This is an Althon XP 1600 btw, temps seem ok for the moment?

    The thing is designed to keep the temps below critical. The only time you should worry is when an old wizard casts a massive heat wave
