my amd athlon xp 1800's cpu temp is at 47 and varies up and down, highest i have seen it is 59,

is this safe or not, i have a heatsink now, i dont know if its good or not but it has a blue fan on top, i have bought another heatsink, but touched the silver stuff on the bottom, can i still use the heatsink when the silver stuff has been touced?


so is it safe foe my cpu temp to be around the 40-50 mark?

also i have A BIG enough case, its a server case, i have 2 front fans blowing air out, one exhause fan blowing out, graphics card cooler, heatsink and the atx fan


system temp is 37 but varies
