Speccy says the CPU is at 41C.  I'm not doing much on my computer at the
moment other than visiting Usenet.  To me, that is a tad high, but it's
been over a year since I blew out all the dust inside the case,
especially the HSFs for the CPU and GPU, and dust is a thermal insulator
(slows transfer of heat).

If you were to run Prime95 for a while, the CPU would go way up in temp.
you'll probably run up closer to 80C at which point the CPU may throttle
itself (gets slower) to protect itself.

Your mobo has an FM1 socket for the CPU.  Don't know which AMD CPU is in
your socket, but likely it has an operating temperature range up to 95C.

You could find out what CPU you have, and then lookup its specifications
to determine your CPU's operating temperature range.  You have a
micro-ATX mobo with a 380W PSU.  It wasn't designed for heavy computing,
but for general desktop use for office use (aka mid-range use).

There is a section in that article that shows what CPU temps those folks
found with that mobo and CPU.
