No i'm not into overclocking, I've had an experience like this and said NO MORE :)). Almost burned my brand new computer after only 3 weeks since I've bought it. I mean what is the temperature at wich an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ is inoperable, burned or destroyed( not able to use it). I get an idle temperature of 49 degrees on it right now. Is that normal. I know P4 processors run at this temps. Is something wrong with the processor. The coolling is ok. Still its about 27 celsius outside. Could this be the reason for which it gets so hot?

Well, I would suggest looking on Google to see what the maximum setting for the processor is and then just set it to something lower than that. All the while keeping an eye on the temperature. I got my Athlon 3700+ up to 2.6GHz without any problems (and no extra cooling) my current dual core chip, is another story.

are you referring to overclocking? If so...
overclocking is more of an art form than a science..no 2 chips are exactly the same... some will have the ability to go a bit faster than others... all you can do is experiment with your settings and find out how far you can go.. turn it up slowly and let it "burn in" at each step. When you start noticing glitches while running programs, then you know you've jumped it to far, or you havn't let it burn in enough... turn it down a notch.
And don't foget to keep a close eye on your temperature. You can check out what others have done at this link below
