Asus P4C800E Deluxe
Intel P4 3.2 processor

CMOS reports cpu temp 48 C and motherboard temp 130 C

Are these ok? How high can these temps "safely" go?

TIA

Howdy!

<mode=dry_humor> I HIGHLY recommend using an honest thermometer on
both of those.

If the motherboard WAS 130C, you'd smell the slowly burning
Plexiglas ...

A general rule of thumb is that the processor should not exceed a
temperature of about 150 F. However, often the sensors on the
motherboard are not accurate.
