The big CPU manufacturers such as Intel and AMD naturally do not want this information known.

Specs?

No, that is hardly normal.  

Check your ventilation, clean the dust out with some canned air from Wal-Mart,  everywhere even the PSU, just make sure you hold the fans so they don't over rev.

Are you using the packaged heat paste block and fan (i.e. that you can buy with the chip), or a standalone job?

Run runs about 10 degrees-ish abouve that, but it's probably just a botch on my part (first attempt at installing a cpu et al), and the fact that i have a crappy, tight case with little cooling.

too late :p

 
p3 800, 192MB, crap mobo, crappier fan, no case fans except the PSU, and no fans indside aside from CPU. crappy, old case, every fan in there dieng from dust. i tried just blowing it off, even wiping it off with my fingers, but it is to damn stuck. and a can of compressed air costs about €12/$15 out here, and i'm not paying 15 bucks for a can of air.

no, do not use a vacuum cleaner. it produces a lot of static. buy a can of compressed air instead. even if it costs you money.

I'm running with a 2100+ actually overclocked to 2100 mhz (seemed appropriate), with one of the older Zalmans on it. One of the ones with the separate fan. Running about 40C (die temp)/51C (internal temp). Probably will get better when I get a new second case fan (one died on me).

Clean the dust out.  Get at least one case fan.

Beats me by quite a bit. I only have 6, including the one that is currently non-functional.

2 80mm fans, came with the case
2 80mm fans in the PSU which acts as a second exhaust

1 fan on CPU
1 fan on GPU


What I can figure out is how the front case fan gets intake.   I can't find the case anywhere on the internet.  It's an OEM case from ECS or ECC or something like that.

I run at 32.0 degrees C unless my heater is on in my room, at which point I get up to about 35.0 degrees C. Stays pretty cool inside my case..

My chip runs at a steady 49C... and I only have 2 fans, a really cheap one on the chip itself (really really cheap; i.e. no interface to the mobo for monitorring, just one that jumps between the powersupply and the first IDE device on the line) and one in the power supply. :nervous:
