Cool

You don't say what kind of CPU. But if it is AMD, then the XP is good to 90C per AMD site. Personally I would get very concerned if one was getting over 70-75C.

I try to keep mine under 50C at idle. Low 40's, high 30's would be preferable.

This is reading from BIOS during boot.

I think the poster is asking about PSU temps, not CPU temps - and I have no idea.

Cool

I do believe you are right. I need to read a little closer. That's twice in last month that you have caught me.

If late 50's is this bad, I shudder what 60's will bring.
