possibly need better cooling?

[guest]

well the amd cool'n'quiet feature causes problems in a game i play so i had to disable it. the cpu is now constantly at 55-60 degrees, MB at 33-35. using a case fan + the stock cooler. is this is a safe temperature to run at, or will i have to improve the cooling? athlon 64 x2 4200+ btw

well updating my bios seemed to decrease the temperature somehow by 4 degrees celcius.

It's sufficient if you can keep the CPU temp under under 60 degrees Centigrade.

ok, after a couple says its averaging around 54 so i think ill leave it.
