there is no problem in that! put an additional fan in your box. thats all

Mine is 1800+ and its usually at 37 degrees. By the way, try not to overclock, it will only shorten your CPU life and void your warenty.

Many people OC... I have a 3Ghz Intel and my Idle temp is ~44C and Load temp is ~50C. Who cares about your CPU life becouse by the time it will die there will probably be Intel 4Ghz CPU's and you will probably have upgraded by then.

I have no extra fans and im normally at about 27c, and im using a AMD 2700xp+. I dont have a clue how it gets so cold either.

Probably becouse your CPU is kinda old.

[Critical_Impact]

Its about 3 month's old

Well it probably got released quite a while ago.

Well, my temperature is 70 grad C, I have athlon 1500 and cooler for Athlon 3000+, but nothing will help me

There's a handy little proggie out calle CPUIdle Extreme (http://www.cpuidle.de/). It helps drop temps pretty well. I dropped at least 4 deg C upon trying it out. Awesome little helper. Also, Motherboard Monitor (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) helps you monitor, and gain minor control over temp problems etc.

Water/vapor cooling are other alternatives.

I usually idle around 40 deg C with my xp2200+, but I benchmark higher than a usual 2200, without any overclocking, I just optimized.
