my xp1600 gets to 56C all the time. I was told that was completely normal. If you find out otherwise, let me know please:)

a basement Pongo!! +)  (which never seems to get warm... max room temp is around 20 tho thats rare)

well that and:

stock HS and fan for the moment, globalwin WBK38 for the cpu if i can stand the noise....
2 intake fans
2 exhaust fans + fan built into power supply


I use an Antec 1030 case, one of the sweetest purchases I've ever made.

My XP2000 runs at 34C under full load.

I use a Dragon Orb III,and I also have two fans blowing in on the side of the case(onto Mobo and CPU).There are four fans blowing out.

 You don't need to go that far,but you may want to get a better HSF for the cpu,and use Arctic Silver,not the thermal paste that comes with it.

Adding a slot fan blowing out wouldn't hurt either.

My Athlon 1.2GHz runs at a steady 55° Celsius. No problem at all.
AMD recommends installation of a PCI slot fan as Sox62 suggests. I found that when I replaced my ageing 200 Watt power supply with a brand new 350 Watt model, the air coming from the PCI slot fan went from rather warm to quite cool.

If running on an Asus mobo, get the mobo monitoring utility! See sample output, attached.

Pongo - no problem with the noise. I was afraid of that too!  I have many fans - mobo, CPU heatsink/cooler, vid card fan, slot fan, power supply...

You will want to check out reviews of HSF's before you buy one.My Dragon Orb III does a great job,but it sounds like an F-14 spooling up....there are good fans that are quiet.

Is that 57c idle or under a load?  If that's idle I'd be concerned.  My 1600+ fried itself with the temp showing around 65-66.  My friend who helped build the system didna quite line up the HS right and had it sitting on the socket hinge, so there wasn't good contact with the core.  What a nightmare.  Lesson learned (his expense :D ).

I'm using a ThermalRite Sk6 with a 7k delta on it and usually run about 32-33c idle and haven't seen it higher than 37 under a load (prime95 etc and other burn in stuff).  With the HS properly installed this time :D

Got an Antec case with excellent airflow, running 2 intake fans and 2 exhaust fans (counting the PSU exhaust fan).

Oh yeah, time to get concerned brother.  They say the XPs can run up to 90c, but you deffinately don't want to stay that high verra long.

Idling at 57c is BAD BAD BAD.  May need to reseat the HSF and/or replace it with a better one.  The Volcano 6 and 7 seem to be real popular and work nice on XPs.  Don't know much about Dragon Orbs.  This SK6 I'm using with the 7k rpm delta is doing a dandy of a job.  All copper HS.

Check the airflow of your case too.  Anything blocking the airflow like the ide data ribbons?  Turn'em parallel to the airflow, cause they can mess it up real good.  Use zip ties and pull'em as far outta the way as ya can.  All the cables for that matter.
