Paralys Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 First off, I'm using an AMD Athlon 64 (2.2 Ghz) I used the NVidia NVMonitor that came on one of the disks with my mobo, and it shows that the cpu is at 37 C (98.6 F). I don't think this is too hot, just curious about at what point hot becomes too hot for a processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 The old Athlons used to Run happily at 70°C :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmo Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 No two CPU's are created equal, so it's impossibile to give an exact figure. But basically, if it's stable, it's not too hot. Of course you want to make sure you've got some headroom so the system wont become flaky if it's put under heavy load with a warmer than usual ambient temperature.

Duelus Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 My old AMD 3800+ x2 ran at 49 C Stable on the stock cooling but now my E6300 runs at 27 C stable on stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgotten Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Mmmmm my motherboard makes a high-pitched beep midday. Is this heat related? Stupid toshiba can't get enough airflow... And its not like speedfan can do anything, again props to toshiba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 My old cpu was under clocked @1.4 (could never get it to run right it just reset every 4 hours when running at normal speeds) and it ran at 55-65 my new dual core @2.0Ghz was running at 35-40 with stock cooling last time I looked :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
