Hello,

What are the warning and peak temperatures for retail AMD Athlon 64 X2
3200+ 939 CPUs with their regular stock fans? According to
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...docs/30430.pdf
.... 140 F degrees is the warning start and 158 degrees(F)/70 degrees(C)
is the danger peak. Am I reading the data specifications correctly? This
is assuming not overclocking either, but do have stress moments like
when playing intensive games.

Thank you in advance.

X2 3200? Are you sure you don't mean X2 3800?
Regardless, the maximum safe temperature has nothing to do with
overclocking. Max is max.
I have an X2 3800 running at 2.4 GHz here with the stock HSF. It runs in the
range 38 - 52C (never over 52C, even in stress tests).
I'd say, make sure it never exceeds 60C. You should be able to stay under 60
with the stock HSF unless you have serious heat/airflow problems in your
case.

Sorry, I meant 4600+. I got confused with the other computer's speed and
it was 3 AM in the morning. =)
