The temperature your CPU should stay at depends on how fast it runs, the type of processor you have, the manufacture, where the sensor is located, and what programs you may be running at the time.
In general, today, most desktop processors should not have a temperature above 203 degrees Fahrenheit or 95 Celsius. Most processors do better with temperatures ranging from 158 to 194 Fahrenheit or 70 to 90 Celsius.
We can break this down a bit more for the manufacture of the processor such as:
- AMD Athlon temperature range should be 90°C - 95°C
- AMD Athlon64 temperature range should be 65°C - 70°C
- AMD Athlon64 Mobile temperature range should be 95°C - 100°C
- AMD Athlon MP temperature range should be 90°C - 95°C
- AMD Athlon XP temperature range should be 85°C - 90°C
- AMD Duron temperature range should be 85°C - 95°C
- AMD Opteron temperature range should be 65°C - 71°C
- AMD Sempron temperature range should be 90°C - 95°C
- AMD K5 temperature range should be 60°C - 70°C
- AMD K6 temperature range should be 65°C - 70°C
- AMD K6 Mobile temperature range should be 80°C - 85°C
- AMD K7 Thunderbird temperature range should be 70°C - 95°C
- Intel Pentium II temperature range should be 65°C - 75°C
- Intel Pentium III temperature range should be 60°C - 85°C
- Intel Celeron temperature range should be 67°C - 85°C
- Intel Pentium Mobile temperature range should be 100°C
- Intel Pentium Pro temperature range should be 80°C - 85°C
