CPU temp???

[aceclimb31]

I was wondering what the temperature range is for a amd. I put heatsink that came with the motherboard. I have 2 fans in the back and a side fan. I have a slot for a System fan on my board but i have enough fans i think..
Any suggustions or is this normal. I check jumpers andgone to both AMD and MSI website.

I have the following

AMD 2500 + 333fsb
MSI KM400a motherboard
ATI 9600 128AGP vidoecard

System Temp-77 degrees
CPU Temp- 140
CPU speed- 3013 (Fan came with new processor)
vcore- 1.65

i assume degrees F NOT C
140F = 60C
which is hot for an amd - i get between 50 - 58 and my PC is in a cupboard with very poor airflow
