What temperature will cause your CPU to reduce performance?
I understand your concern about the performance of your AMD 64 X2 4800+. It's common to experience slowdowns around 50°C and higher. You might want to check the manufacturer's specifications or consult reliable sources for the exact temperature at which throttling begins. Your overclocking from 2.5 to 2.7GHZ is a good step, but monitoring temperatures closely will help you gauge stability. Let me know if you need further guidance.
The system might not be compatible. I didn't do any research—just a brief search. The CPU seems quite outdated; upgrading or improving cooling would likely be necessary. Have you got a hair dryer that expels cold air? You could try using it on the CPU to see if it helps. If successful, consider better cooling solutions and fresh fans. If everything works without overclocking, I'd accept that option.
