Gerald. Thank you for this information. I just checked the temps of my quadCore processor and they average at about 50 degrees. I'm assuming this is a bit high, but I am also running a bit of a work horse of a computer. I am using a CPU cooler (HeatSink), but I'm thinking I might need a better one.

My dual core processor runs between 31 degrees C and 35 degrees C according to Core Temp. The danger threshhold is about 60 degrees C for most processors.
