Does it harm your cpu to run it at 37ALL the time, rather then 31?

Are you kidding?

Most people would think they'd died and gone to heaven if their PCs idled under 40C.
As fun as it is, keep in mind that we are dealing with pretty extreme solutions here.
Most new computers only come with one or two fans and chug along, day in and day out at temps of 50C +.
Then the owner discovers a forum like this one or OC.com, sees some of the rigs in there, and the next thing you know they're thinking that they have a real problem.
Although I do believe that lower temps have to ultimately be a good thing, my search for waaaay lower temps is definately more of a hobby/challenge than a necessity.
Every time I get frustrated, I just think of my old eMachine ( currently my Mom's) which seems to be perfectly happy at 50-55 degrees, hasn't missed a beat yet and will probably outlast me.
I just realized that I expend more energy ( not to mention money&#33

taking care of my computer than I do taking care of myself.

Lol. I got it running at 2.04Ghz right now (185X11) and its at 31 as we speak lol

I love my cooling..i just got 4 case fans..but I got one of them angled right at the cpu...so it blows on it and then the exhaust fans suck it out. Sometime soon I am going to buy a 60mm to 80mm adapter and put a better fan on the cpu also.
