Actally just checked mine again now thats it's been running at various loads for about 45 mins and it's at 45-46c and it's a warm humid morning. I did see a page or two of temps listed at some overclocking site once, but it's been several months now. I think it was someplace on the AMD Zone. I was worried about this myself when I would let it run for days on end using Seti at home at 100%cpu. Just checked again and mine is at 49c, so sounds like your probably in the ballpark. RS
