So, what sort of temeperatures are reasonable to see for 'CPU' and 'System'?
It depends on the make/model of cpu. A quick search revealed this page http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm /but/ I don't know how accurate it is.
Thanks, that gives a maximum case temperature for my Athlon of 85 degrees Celsius.
Currently the CPU is 56 degrees celsius.
So I'm probably OK, but a dust out of the heatsink seems to have brought this down to below 50 degrees now. After being on for a while it's sitting at 44 degrees, I expect it'll go up a few degrees more but I seem to have won ten degrees or so by a spring clean.
The inside of the case looked perfectly clean but the fins of the heatsink itself were pretty dusty.
