Are these temperatures right for my Athlon???

[Citadel535]

I am running an AMD Athlon at 1200MHz (in box version with hsf) and the ASUS PC Probe is reporting the temperatures of the CPU at 56°C/132°F and 35°C/95°F for my motherboard. Should it be this high? (It is summer weather though...)

Well, they seem high to me, but I'm very picky when it comes to the temp in my computer.

For me my 1.2gig Athlon (T-Bird) is running at 32 degrees Celcius. For me my warnings are set (by factory default) that 50 degrees celcius is the warning of overheating for the CPU

My system overheat is also set at 50 degrees celcius as well.

Probably not the answer you were looking for but hopefully it helps as a comparison.

Do you have anything set up in your case to cool it better?

 

[sohcrates]

under 65c is safe according to amd...but 56 IS rather high. do you have some decent cooling fans in your case?

 

[Sacotool]

I have an Alpha PAL6035 cooloer on my Tbird 850 and the temperature fluctuates from 33c to 44c depending on what I'm doing with it. (games etc.) The only other fans I have are a case cooler.

 

[ToBeMe]

I'd consider them high on any of my systems!

 

[Citadel535]

I have an Antec SX1030B with two fans in the rear and PS fan.

 

[Citadel535]

I am going to order two fans for the front of the case as intakes to help in cooling it. Don't know what to do about the temps till then though since the Anandtech FAQ says its around 40-50°C for an Athlon:frown:

my 1.4ghz tbird-running at 1550mhz at full load--depends on the room temp--when it's hot cpu temp is 51C max full load--when it's cold 46C max at full load. No idea on idle--prolly just substract 5-6 degrees off. And this is on Epox EP-8k7a mobo.

 

[doog519]

I run between 48 - 54 C depends on room temp while gaming.And I haven't had any problems. I have the same antec case with 2 case fans.
It has been running good for 7mos.

ARG!!!!!!!!!!!

How in the heck do you get your CPU that cool?

I have a pretty decent heatsink and fan and I hover between 55 and 60 without O/Cing

and my apartment is relativly cool.

I have a layer of Artic Silver 2

This ticks me off.

Heat is the root of all AMD,s Live with it,keep a fan running and you should have no problems.My P4 1700 runs at a cool 109f under load playing DFLW with stock heatsink and fan.But I do have a fan pulling the heat off the rambus Ram which is pretty hot.

 

[raven82]

You could always drill a blow hole or an intake hole in the side of the case.

 

[SerraYX]

Also, remember, the probes, being off-die, aren't as accurate as they should be.

Now that it's summer, even with the AC, this 750@933 runs 42 idle and 53 under full load. I have a PAL 6035 Delta 38cfm and Radio Shack stuff.

No stability problems, I don't complain

 

[EmperorRob]

I run my 1.2 G T-bird at stock speed w/a CoolerMaster and my cpu temp is 45 Celsius. My mobo temp used to be 35 until I added a front case fan and now it's down to 25 although it didn't affect my CPU.

Try this, if you open the case does your CPU temp go down more than 5 degrees? If so you just need another/better fan.

Stress the PC with a looping benchmark, I use 3dmark2001, if you dont get any lockups then dont worry about the temp.

The onboard temp probs can be very inacurate, you may think you are running hot and the next BIOS update your CPU is snap frozen. I had a CUSL2 that the CPU reported cooler than the motherboard. People with the same CPU and Cooler should get similar temps but due to different motherboards the temps are all over the place.
