[rudeguy]

My comp keeps locking up and I have a hunch its my cpu. I had it oc'd, and knocked it down and everything is fine now. Its running at 114 F right now. Isnt that pretty high?

What CPU? What kind of cooling setup do you have? What heatsink?

Ok, but what CPU?

Also, location of fans and direction they are blowing?

Cross-posting to OT is bad.

114F is about 46C right? Which is fine. My 1800+ @ 2GHz (XP 2400+) idles at around 45 and hits ~55-56 under load.

What's your load temp?

It could be a power issue. You might want to install Motherboard Monitor and monitor your rails (enable logging).

thanks guys...I have mbm. At what temp should I be worried?

And I know cross posting is bad, but sometimes good people do bad things

Personally I'd start getting worried at ~65c (~149F).

Try running Prime95 for an hour or so and see how high it goes.

So what CPU are you running? Regardless, at 114F, you have nothing to worry about.

Most of AMD's newer chips are good up to 70-80C. As Xscript mentioned, I wouldn't get worried until the CPU temps gets above 60C.

Please school me -

How will a power issue show up in MBM's rail stats? What should you look for to see such a problem in the numbers?

didn't mean to hijack...think this is pertinent to original thread
