I hav intel p4 3.0 ghz processor with HT.
i hav 2 Hard disks, 1 SATA of 160 GB and 1 PATA of 80 GB.
ram is 512 MB
my comp starts wid a temp of 40C but in about 40 mins it goes upto 52C. it becomes stable after reaching 56C.
Is my cpu overheating N how can i Prevent it....wat's da ideal temp...

u can search in previous posts for this topic.

No it is not overheating.....Prescott are meant to run hot......their temperature can go up to 75 to 80 when it starts to throttle....and if u want u can add a 120mm fan exhaust and 80mm intake which i am doing it idles at around 48 to 52

I think the temps are fine. The pentium 4's does run at high temps, especially the PRESCOTT. The threshold is 70-75C, correct me if I am wrong.
