Is 50C ok for running a barton 2500+ with stock cooling? to my understanding, it seems its ok as longs as their under 60C?
 
I'd try to get my temperatures below 50, if possible. If you've got the money, invest in a better HSF.

Otherwise, my feeling is that if your computer runs perfectly stable at those temperatures, don't worry about it. If the temperatures start to go up, you may want to start worrying.
 
well most people around here say that under 60c is good. AMD says that their processors can go up to 70C without any trouble. I am not overclocking. I don't want to have to get a better heatsink if I don't have to.


thanks
 
I'm fairly well overclocked, and currently idle at about 50c. This is using the OEM HSF.

As long as your system is stable, I wouldn't worry about it.

They are right, though let's not forget the advantage of how much longer hardware is supposed to last as you cool it more. Naturally that just depends on if you even care if that thing lasts you 5 years (or would it be more like 10?) Anyway, several generations in the computer world. Personally, I feel why not just get some cheap hsf that's better than the factory crap and just leave it at that even if not ocing. Not too much cost and it's not really that hard to replace a hsf in most systems.
