It's been my experience with numerous AMD cpus that anything over 45c. is likely to start causing random misc. problems. I always start feeling apprehensive when my temps go above 40c. Why AMD states up to 90c. is beyond me. The one time I got above 50c. the system became unusable- random lockups, shut-down problems, various hanging with programs, etc. Better cooling fixed everything instantly, so it was obviously caused by high temps. wrc1944
