You could touch it and see if it's hot? Or try this http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20031230/index.html. Defiantly lower your temps.

If it seems stable and there's no signs of problems I wouldn't worry... My CPU runsat 50* all day long and all night and i have no problems.

also i am having troubles with my AGP.

its disabled and i have no idea why? i didnt manually diable it. i have the latest drivers for my radeon 9600xt. grrr every thing seems to be going wrong.

youll notice in that pic that my AGP status sez disabled. how do i enable it. iv tried manually sliding it back to 8 x agp using Rage3D tweak v3.9b and then it asks me to reboot to make changes..... i reboot and nothing happens... its back on 0

ok ive overclocked it.

its running stable at 2.2 ghz like a 3200

however the temps as usual are a big issue here....

something must be wrong because the temps at the mo are

51 degrees celcius

wheww thats hot.

that idle as well... im not even going to attempt to run F@H, cause i no the temps will go higher....

so where do i go from here....back down the the normal frequency and fan?

i think it has something to do with the heatsinks. i have 2 here.... 1 with my old cpu (2000+) and a new one that i have on now. it has a copper plate mounted on the bottom of it.

mayb il chuck the old CPU fan/hs on

You said it was stable and it seems to only have gone up a few degrees, maybe your temps are being read wrong in every program.
