November 16, 200619 yr The 2.8G Northwood max temperature looks like 75C.CPU electrical specification chart.(scroll down about half way)http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm56-58C looks good! Edited November 16, 200619 yr by RJM
November 16, 200619 yr those temps are fine. one u get into teh high 60's you should really be worried.
November 17, 200619 yr Anything sub-65 shouldn't be any worry for a P4.As for hard drives, sub 50 should be good enough. The lower the better, but drives are rated up to a maximum of 55-60C.
