What I would like to know is what are "normal" temps for an Intel CPU - I know AMD's can operate at higher temps but what are Intel CPU normal, under load and stressed typical temperatures and what ultimately will fry it.
My Hardcano is presently reading 33.8C and Asus Probe is reading 33C. The MB temp at present is 26C.

I belive the max temp rating for a P4 is 80C?, they are pretty damn near imposible to kill from heat though cause of thermal throtling, they just start down clocking themselves when they get to hot.
before I put the water cooling setup on my system and before I O/Ced it I was running around 48-50C under full load, that's with the heatsink that come packaged with the retail CPU.
