62C too high on a 1200MHz T-Bird?

[mztykal]

It's not overclocked, it's on a MSI Turbo with a Volcano5 hs/f. Is this temp waaay to high?

I guess it is. Is that a idle or a full load temp?

What is your ambient/MB (to have a temp to compare to...).
Did you used ArcticSilver?

Try opening up the case and see if the temps are affected. If it is getting 10C lower than you have a poor case airflow too

I just reseated my hs/f and applied a new coat of ASG2. I'm getting 52C at full load.

That still seems too high.

Are you sure the thermistor is making good contact to the bottom of the CPU? I'd also put a small dab of AC on the thermistor where it touches the CPU just to help transfer temps that much more efficiently.

It's a better temp!

I guess MikeWarrior2 could tell you if this is ok.

Whts ur ambient temp & case temp ? Give us these details will help. But generally, 52C is still OK. My personal preference is below 65C.

52C at full load is fine.
