    Hi everyone

    Whenever I play games, I usually have Mobilemeter on to check my temp. After I'm done playing I usually have a system temp of 60 degrees celsius. Is this temp ok for the components? I have seen a lot of threads here about p4 notebooks getting fried so I was wondering.


    Thanks for all the help.

    I get about the same temp of 58-60c when gaming. Long as that is your max temp and only whne gaming or high loads that is fine. Personally I wouldn't want my cpu's running a temp over 66c. I'm not sure but I think for my P4 Northwood the critical temp is 75c and the computer "should" shut down in that case.
