What is the thermal limits of the P4 Prescott 3.6GHz? ...and what is the ideal temperation?
My idle CPU temp is around 48-52 degree C. When I use the CD writer, it goes up to 75 degrees C. I have a Gigabyte Cooler Pro (PCU21-VG). I just removed the thermal compound that came with the system and added Artic Silver 5. Still no change.
At what temperatures should I start worrying?
I have read many of the thread on prescott CPUs. I didn't find answers to my specific questions.
Thank you in advance...
