Athlon XP 2500+ with stock cooling

[bobsaget]

I am running prime95 right now just to see what the temp gets up to. What temperature is too high when running P95 on a 2500+ with stock cooling (not overclocked)?

I think it depends what you mean by "too high".

I think as long as you're under 60 then you won't encounter any trouble, though I wouldn't really want my processor running at 60 degrees all the time. And if you're hitting 60 stock, then you're not likely going to want to overclock it.

50 is warm, but better than 60

40's nice.

30's very nice.
