what is normal temperature for cpu?

AMD chips are rated up to about 60c, while Intel chips are rated to about 70c, but Intel tends to run hotter, so they have similar headroom.
On a stock cooler, your idle temperatures are usually going to be in the 40's.

40's to 70's, all depending on the CPU you have, since each one tends to run hotter or cooler than the other. It also pretty much depends on what "normal" is too you. If it's idling, I'd say from 40's to 50's.
Average, for a stock heatsink, but certainly not anywhere near ideal operating temperatures. The cooler a processor is, the more stable it is, and you're going to run into stability problems in the 60's.Roy Jones said:
Most aftermarket air heatsinks will get you down to between the 30's and 40's for idle and load.
That's significantly past that processor's thermal limit. =|TehPhantom said:
Have you overclocked it or something? If not, then you should clean out that heatsink. A stock heatsink shouldn't be allowing it to reach such temperatures.
