    ok, i have a AMD 64 3200+ with the stock cooler, I have taken the FSB from 200 to 225 Mhz (it cant cope with 230 :( so ive left a little breathing room)

    This Computer is on 24/7 and allways @ 100% CPU usage as it is running F@H.

    Is this a bad idear? :)O )

    Its been running @ 225 Mhz for about 24 hours now...... it seems to be sticking to 57*c.

    Im using 'Core Cell' to do this as i have a MSI board, The Warning temp is set to 65*c... Its a sound alarm and it will also shut down the computer if i dont do anything about it within 15 secs (handy if im not at home/in the room)

    Anyoen know the normal temps for this CPU? (Under load and idle).... ive looked at my temps before (!!)

    Thanks guys (that also includes any girls here ;))

    i would of thought normal temperatures are between 30 and 40 degrees at stock cooling on a 3200+
    it should be ok running 24/7, if its 57 at full load, then its not going to jump to 65.
