RobotChild Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I recieved my Athlon XP 2600+ on Friday, and got around to installing it last night. The normal FSB - 166MHz Overclocked - 195MHz It's running at 2.25GHz Mobo - Asrock K7S41GX CPU - Athlon XP 2600+ HSF - Zalman 7000B-AlCu The idle temps right now are 37-39C (98F - 102F) I don't have any load temps yet. What do you think about these temps. Their a little hot for my liking, but I need someone else's thoughts. I think I might save for some liquid cooling.

ChevronX Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hmm my Celeron stays at like 49C I hope its just the BIOs reading it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotChild Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Gonna get a load temp with this http://sp2004.fre3.com/ I'll report the temps later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Thats fine, and also for ChevronX the celeron is basically as P4 so will run hot. My rule of thumb is if its above 60c then be worried, above 75c then something needs to be done about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
