what is the ideal running temperature for an AMD 1100MHz processor?
By ideal running temperature i mean a temperature that it will not fry itself.
Are onboard temperature monitors accurate?
I was alerted by mbm5 that a sensor had reached 70 degrees celcius, should i be concerned?
Do i have an error as it has never been running that hot before?
It has now dropped to 45 degrees is that good?

Maximum die temperature is 90oC.

Onboard temperatures aren't accurate with most AMD systems as the temperature is take from beneath the chip rather than within. That means they generally report a lower temperature than is true.

thanks, it must have been a fluke as it is around 45 again now.
