I should've asked this weeks ago, but at what temperature should I begin to worry about my system?

I currently run anywhere from 35 C to 42 C.  The highest it's ever been was 46 C.
So as through a glass, and darkly

Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

No need to worry (yet :D ). 46 C is a good temp, my comp is running almost always at about 55 C. I'd start worrying when it goes over 65 C.

My Athlon runs at 60-68. I'm assured by a buddy that works at AMD that I'm safe all the way up to 90C.

Stuff starts breaking down when you reach melting points, mostly. It doesn't take a huge amount to fry a chip, but you're pretty safe until you start approaching the triple digits.

Yeah mik, Athlons are meant to be safe up to 90, but there's no need to push your luck of course :)

Yours sounds pretty much spot on, Lib. Bout the same as mine (got it down to 29 on a really cold day last winter :D)

61 degrees.

I actually rmeoved a faulty Cd drive (1 of 2) from my Pc and filled the hole with a mesh (actually, tape intended for holding up plaster....), and it lowered the CPu temp by a bout 5 degrees and the system temp by 10.

45C. I expect it to decrease when I get my new case, but maybe it won't. but then at least I can have the case closed and put in a couple of fans.

Contrary to popular belief, CPUs work better at higher temperatures. That's why overclocking your PC produces heat. The upshot of this is that you can increase the speed of your PC by approximately 20% (effectively upgrading a 2.5ghz machine to a 3ghz machine) simply by placing the case next to a common domestic radiator. The big CPU manufacturers such as Intel and AMD naturally do not want this information known.
Be warned: This site's admins stole 100s of hours of my work. They will do it to you.

What do they teach you people these days? Go read a coupla Register articles or something. Be good for you. Corrupt your innocent mind with thoughts of abuse of the computer-illiterate.

For some reason, mine seems to like staying at a constant 74C no matter what.

BOFH, the 2002 edition. great fun, especially when reading during boring classes. warning though, laughing out loud is bloody hard to explain when the entire class is so bored they're asleep.

mine never exceeds 42.5 C (and this is an XP 2500+)


and no i do not use water cooling, compressor cooling, or any of those psycho cooling systems -- anyone at 50C or above cool that ho down, sure they're safe up to 90C - but keeping them under 50 most of the time can double or tripple their lifetime [and before you say "i don't expect to have it that long" the hotter a processor the easier it is for transistor creep, and the less stable it runs)
