I just built a new pc with a core 2 duo e6600. Stock speed 2.4 ghz (i'm not much of an overclocker). My temps used to be around 48C at idle, but for some reason they suddenly idle at mid 50'sC. Load still doesn't go beyond early 60, 63C is the top i've measured after heavy load (loads includes either games or 3D design). I think that might be a tad high, is my processor in danger? what's the top acceptable temp? i use CoreTemp for the readings. Thanks in advance.

It isn`t in danger because the top acceptable temp for that processor is 70C. All the same, if i were you I Would check the fans, because I have one working at 40C at idle and 48C at full loaded.

Well you should look into if any fans are not running at full speed, because of the change, but early 60s is nothing to be overly concerned about.

if you're using the stock cooler then it's normal. temperature can go as high as 70C if on heavy load. the cpu is in danger if the temp goes above 80C.
