Sounds like to upgrade cooler for your cpu, my 3200+ runs at 35-40c when daoc running. 2500+ should be as cold i think.

52 isnt realy that much.. no problems running like this.. you may need a casefan in the summer tho

My AMD Athlon Thunderbird runs at an average of 68°C and there has never been a single problem with it for about 2 years. It also makes my room hot and cosy so I don't need to use any radiators! xD

52 degrees is fine, but where are u taking the reading from out of interest?

Anything below 65 is fine for the barton

If your cpu is less than 50 degrees C when playing DAOC, then it's time to overclock

AMD cpu's their max operation temp is between 85°C and 95°C

50°C-60°C is normal cooling anything above that i would start looking at better cooling
A top notch cooling and good case will keep them around 40°C
Any cooling below that is just silly, noisy and a waste of cash

70 is the limit for the old Athlon chips - thats when mine started smoking
