The tjunction is 95c, but you don't want your cpu operating anywhere near that, even under full load...
Ideally, the CPU will max out at around 65c under 100% load...anything over 70c is getting dangerous.

Other than that its all on auto. And walla i've got a STOCK Intel Pentium DUAL CORE CPU from 2Ghz to 2.66Ghz. nthanks again guys. One little quiry. The cpu Temperature is fine so is every other bit of hardware, EXCEPT the GPU/graphics card. ITs RUNNING AT 70-78' degrees celcius. I believe thats pretty hot. or is it. ITS the only PEACE with a high temperature. Is that normal?
Good!
Looking at your temps, you still have a lot of headroom left.
Now try bumping it up another notch.
Raise your FSB to 333MHz, and give your cpu another small shot of voltage (increase it only a little, say .15v). Leave your memory at 667MHz for now. The idea here is not only are we going to try to get your Intel up to 3.3GHz, but doing this will also accomplish a couple other things....a) your FSB ratio will now be at 1:1, which is ideal for stability, and b) raise your processor's performance while keeping your memory in check (since your memory is rated at 800MHz, right now you're actually underclocking it...which is okay, because for right now we're just trying to get an idea of how far we can push your processor before we need to start fiddling around with memory settings. Memory is probably the #1 reason for crashing and other errors.)
Again, leave everything else on auto, then the first thing you want to do is check your temps. If you're happy with the temps, now would be a good time to stress test it. Let it run on Prime95 for a couple hours, and if it passes, go back into your BIOS and drop the voltage a little bit. Then run it on Prime again for a couple hours again. If it fails this time, then you'll need to raise the voltage back up to what it was before.

HELLO again, thanks for the help ' i've got it running at 3ghz now and its really,really responsive mixed with a couple other tweaks. i'm quite happy with it now. BUT before i go, I got a question. My harddrive led has been on all the time with no breaks ever since ive built it is it suppose to be on 24/7. I'm not experiencing any Problems though. Everything is working fine. Any ideas?
you can get a PCI slot cooling card for about $15 that should help bring the temp down.
Screw school... I just started a 14 hour Raid
