51C when running UT2k3, Freelancer,.. for a few hours. Idle it goes down to 35C.

Mine runs at 34-35c while gaming. I like it much more than the 3.0c for this reason (they run HOT!!)

is it bad to be running it at that hot?

only if it's unstable and reboots your computer.

I have a P4 3.06 that does 52 C when gaming. I think both Intel and AMD will throttle down if they get too hot. But then your FPS will suffer somewhat I would think.

 

[ability]

so it wont melt down or anything, it will just shut down? if i have an intel..

With my case side panel off the cpu runs at 55c while gaming.

I need to install a duct pretty bad.

That sounds very high for your setup, unless it's oc'd ... Are you sure the heatsink is making good contact with the cpu core, and have you used good thermal compound?

 

[erikistired]

mine runs 47-49c when gaming. 34-36 idle. p4 2.8b in a shuttle xpc.

 

[Special1Sauce]

I'd say around 50c for me

 

[sandorski]

low 50s

Interesting. My CPU temp sounds pretty normal now. While playing games it gets around 49-50celcius and at idle around 37celcius. I actually lowered my CPU temps around 4 celcius when I applied my thermal paste just a tad bit thicker(and applied it with my finger) than I originally did. It's runs those temps now at 11.5x200mhz with a vcore of 1.6.

Idle

Socket - 45
Diode - 51

Load

Socket - 53
Diode - 59

AXP 2500+ @ 2.0GHz, stock heatsink, 80mm fan, AMD thermal pad.
