hi, just got a dfi lanparty nfII ultra-b and was just getting started overclocking and picked up a nb-1c from newegg and i'm getting a reading of like 37 degrees C and was wondering where was a safe region to stay in for system temp. by the way that was taken by hardware monitor that came with my mobo after 4million digits of superpi followed by a couple of rounds of 3dmark2001se. im running 150mhz fsb w/ a multiplier of 13.5 (2025mhz) thanks for your help!

45 is probably safe, but 50 would still be okay.

Don't go above 55C

Edit: You should get motherboard monitor 5 as that is very accurate at reading temps.

i actually tried mbm5 and it totally went crazy, it said it had full support for my mobo and every time i set it up it gave me some can't load driver or somethin goofy like that. i also reinstalled and made sure i was picked the right motherboard and all that jazz so i just gave up on it. also another quick question, i just got my nb-1c today and was installing it and it fits on there diagonally perpindicular to the nb chip itsself, is that normal? i used the only bracket that came with it that fit properly but some of the northbridge is still slightly exposed. i followed the instructions that were on the thermaltake website (which is down right now....) to the T.

Strange about motherboard monitor 5. Have you tried speedfan as thats also very good.
