Amd athlon 64 dual x2 4600+ processor?

Question

What is the optimum processor temp I know low as possible but should i be worried if mine is running at 50 degrees?

the comp has been on all day but not under heavy load.

I have only one case fan installed should i install another one???

Answer 1

50 is a bit high when not at load, although nothing terribly serious. I would would check it at peak stress, if it goes above 60 I would recommend buying a new heatsink, the Thermaltake Big Typhoon is good.

Answer 2

50 degress Celsius. Not bad. Could use another fan, though. And be sure that the case has plenty of room to "breathe," not tucked closely into some cubbyhole.
