what are "safe" temps for a P4?

[bassballboy]

I just got done messing with a computer and installing a case fan on it, then hwmonitor and the cpu sits in tthe mid 40's at idle, hits the low 60's when running a few programs.

It's a P4 520 with a stock Intel cooler, running at 2.8Ghz.

What's a safe temperature range for this chip?

Those temps are good for that cpu, perfectly fine. They can hit 70c+ normally.

cool, so anything below 70 is fine then?
