I recently built my own system, and the temperatures of my Athlon 2500+ (Barton core) are 48-52 degrees idle, and 58-62 under load. Them otherboard temperature is 35-43. I have an el cheapo case, one case fan, and the Athlon is using the retail heatsink with the thermal interface pad. My system is stable, even when doing CPU-intensive tasks, like converting AVI to MPEG for 2 hours. I will never overclock.

So my question is: is it dangerous for my system to be at those temperatures?

Edit: my motherboard is an Asus A7V8X-X, though I doubt this matters.

Edit #2: The BIOS temps pretty much match up with the Asus Probe temps.
