cpu temperature???

a couple weeks ago, I put together a system (from TigerDirect in Miami) with
a 2.9GHz celeron chip. Works fine, more than adaquate for my purposes, but I
noticed that the chip runs a little hot (about 56 degrees C). I used the
heatsink paste, and installed the fan and heatsink they sent as part of the
kit. Is this a typical temp for this chip? I generally use AMD chips, which
seem to run a little cooler, but the price on this package was just too good
to ignore....

that's not too hot. Unless it gets up into the 65 and higher range I
wouldn't worry about trying to bring the temp down any more at this point.

 

Thanks! That's what I needed to hear!!
