I'm using intel PIV 2.4GHz HT processor/D865GBF motherboard. I bought
it 6 months back.

Under normal working conditions(using explorer/MS word etc..) CPU
teperature is around 37 'C. but when I run Age of Empires/nfs/ Unreal
Tournament/nortan antivitus and other heavy softwares, the CPU
temperature shoots up to as high as 50 'C(extremely high for intel i
feel).

Is it normal?plz let me know if it is and if not what might be the
reason behind?

Thankx

Like yours, my CPU is around 36C at idle, but sometimes under a load, I get
as high as 46C. I think this is normal.

You might check to see if your CPU fan is set on a header that is
dynamically controlled. It could be running your fan slow, but doesn't pump
it up enough to keep it cool enough for your tastes. You could set the fan
at a static speed, possibly, and keep your temps lower.

these temps are normal if read from socket thermistor; on die diode
readings would be approx. 10° even higher ....

thans for the suggetion but :(
I have intel active monitor installed on my comp!!today while playing
age of empires, it beeped and flashed the following alert:

02/01/04 15:15:35
The system temperature (Processor Zone) has returned to its
recommended temperature.

02/01/04 15:15:34
The system temperature (Processor Zone) has exceeded its recommended
maximum temperature.

such an alert has popped up for the first time!!now what?
 
Check in the Active monitor software if you can see or adjust what the
processor threshold temperature setting is set to.

It may just be set too low.
