Topic: CPU Temperature

[Serenity]

I just wondered what the general consensus was about CPU temperatures    My PC boots up with a CPU temp of 65 degrees and very quickly (withing 2 mins) increases to 70 degrees whilst running nothing other than the BIOS.  Is this an acceptable temperature at bootup as I am having a few teething problems and thought maybe it was due to the temp being so high?

What make of CPU do you have?

[Camstop]

I have an Athlon 2.4 and my fan is set at 4000 rpm.

My BIOS cpu temp is 45 degrees and i thought anything above 60 was pushing it  


Not sure what the cut out is set at but that seems hot to me Serenity  

[Serenity]

Mine is a 1400 Athlon

If my memory serves me correctly Hooky its an AMD Athlon 1.4
So I dont think its anything to worry unduly about.
Mine runs around 60/65 and my server pc has had a few warning beeps when re encoding a film at 100% cpu usage for a few hours, its set at 80 for warning and shut down at 90 or maybe 95 and its never shut down yet.
I dont think that the bios is all that accurate unless its one of the mobos with a connector for a temperature probe on it.
I think Serenitys problem is her PSU as it needs resetting after the pc has switched off, by unplugging it from the mains and then reconnecting before it will start up again

Funny thing about these temps..

Just before I blew up the mobo this afternoon   I was typicaly getting temps of about 50c ish but since the new mobo with the same heat sinc and fan Im getting about 60c ish weird huh.

Iv'e read some where over the last week it is ok to run AMD up to about 80c..sheet thats hot

Hopefuly a mod will make URL work

Personally I would be trying to reduce the temp if I were you. OK AMD reckon around the 60.C mark is OK. But I once had a Mobo CPU combo I bought of Novatech running at 62. C ...I could have fried eggs on the top of the PC tower. I'm running a AMD XP2000+ and its at CPU 43.C....Case Temp 35.C

I would try reseating the CPU on a new thermal pad......the Overclockers like Bat reckon paste is better, but using paste invalidates the CPU warranty.

 Hookies repaired link regards AMD CPU Temps

But I reckon This Onewill be more relevent regards your CPU

So how do you find out the temperature then

Barra No6 there are several ways you can check the temp, I have 2, one of which is a little program called Speedfan (small dload) and the other way is by using Aida32.

[Barra]

Info provided by Aida32:-
Motherboard:  
   CPU Type   AMD Athlon-PECM, 1000 MHz (5 x 200)  
   Motherboard Name   Unknown  
   Motherboard Chipset   VIA VT8363(A) Apollo KT133(A)  
   System Memory   411 MB (PC133 SDRAM)  
   BIOS Type   AMI (09/22/00)  
Only info i could glean from speed fand is:-
HD1:49c
temp3:24c
temp1:144c
temp2:144c

Dot know what 1 and 2 are but seem high to me

If you click Computer, then Sensor, you should get something like this, Ade:-

[Clive]

Strangely, AIDA doesn't show what my CPU temerature is.  It shows my motherboard running at 32C and Aux at 53C.  My fan spins at well over 5,000 rpm as it prepares for take off.  

[Barra]

Mines the same. It shows aux @ 24c and cpu fan running @ 7031rpm

[Sandra]

I thought you had Si-Soft Sandra No 6  

Anything called Sandra is bound to be better than anything else  

[Barra]

I did Sand but I got rid of it because it used up too much resources nagging all the time
