CPU temp

Upgraded my PC and although everything appears ok i suspect the CPU temp is a little high. Whats the normal temps for this CPU?

Soltek SL75DRV5
Athlon XP2000
Akasa Icicle 785 (XP2000) Cooler
256 DDR333 RAM

Temps

ABS 11 60C
Temp 1 50C
Temp 2 52C

i installed an additional internal fan to blow out the excess heat. Not installed any case fans yet i have four spaces available.

Cool

Per AMD site the XP's are good to 90C. I just built one with a retail XP1800. It was running 63C at idle with stock fan (no copper slug) that came with CPU. I got a HS with copper slug and faster fan and temps at idle run around 48-50C.

I have a XP1600 with a Alpha Pal HS with copper core and 80mm fan that runs at 41C.

My XP2100 runs about 51 idle to 58 after running UT2003. I also have 5 fans on the box. So your temps should be about right.
