ok then what should i do?!?!?! my sys is running at a constant 50 degs i have a coolermaster silent heatsink+fan running at an average 2500rpm on my AMD athlon 2600+ FuzzyLogic and PCAlert which came with my MSI KT4V motherboard and i need to know if i am in any danger of losing the whole lot as one of my friends told me i am losing transistors at a rate of 1 every two hours which would decrease performance noticably soon.... oh yeah my clock speed is 2.29Ghz and my FSB is at 179 and i have thermal grease between the heatsink and the processor
The key word there is silent. Quiet fans normally run at around that speed, possibly slightly lower. My coolermaster 80mms run at 2400rpm. I know that 50C is fine for a palomino core, they have a maximum temperature of 90C I believe. I'm not so sure on T-Breds, but I assume 50 is ok.
