That's 55 degrees Celsius, which is a bit towards the high side. What kind of heatsink and fan are you using? What other fans do you have in your case? What is your setup?

I agree, that's a bit on the warm side. I have the same cpu in a Home Theater pc case. Kinda small but good air flow. It's running the cpu at 100% load with Folding@Home and the cpu temp is a solid 42 degrees C.

I have an AMD 2600+ which ran stock speed at around 125 F on my old motherboard. I have since moved to a different motherboard, reapplied thermal grease and now it runs around 100 F stock speed.
Both setups have been very stable for me, so as long as you aren't experiencing lockups then I wouldn't worry about it. |

Are you using Kingston memory by chance? Like a 2 x 512Mb kit of Value Ram on an Asus A7n8x-e Deluxe?
