what tempurature should my 1800 Athlon xp be running at
cos its currently running around 58 celsius is this too
high.
 
The AMD website has details, look under the keyword
"thermal"
58 C= 136.4 F, too hot to touch. Maybe within limits for
AMD. But a good fan and heatsink properly installed might
reduce the temp.

I also have a number of case fans and use arctic silver 5 thermal paste and
my barton 2500+ plus oc to a 3200+ runs at about 43c idle and about 51c full
load.
It has been running at these temps for about a year and i have no problems.
Also your cpu temps has alot to do with the temp inside your case.
To test remove side cover of case, if cpu temps drop then you have bad
airflow inside your case. Install a few case fans 1 or 2 pulling air into
the case and a couple sucking air out.
