P4 northwood "acceptable" operating temps?

[WildFrisco]

Hey guys,

Got a question. What are acceptable operating temps for a P4 2.8 GHz (800 MHz fsb northwood)? I'm familiar with AMD processor temp ranges but not Intel. For AMD, they start to get unstable at a certain point. For the P4s, I suppose they start to throttle down or something.

Intel's throttling thing kicks in at 72°C or something I think.
Obviously your processor should never get that hot. Try to keep it below 55 or so.
