P4 Running Temperature

[dohoon]

hello...
i have a 478 P4 2.8 (533MHz/512KB) on a ASUS MOBO. i have three chasis fans and a zalman CPU cooler. when in idle, my cpu (according to ASUS PC Probe and other monitor program) is at around 42-45C and it goes up to 52 degrees. my MOBO stays around 35C. is my CPU running at high temperature? my friend's P4 2.0 runs at around 30C and i thought that my CPU is running at too high of a temp. what should my CPU values be for temp set-up?
thanks!

Don't beleive to motherboard's HM (hardware monitorng)! In many case it can give wrong parameters of system (voltages, temperatures). So use thermocouple or check cooler temperature by finger

Temperature under 50 is very good. You can be worry from 65 and up.
