AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

hi all i wonder if any1 can help me out i have had a AMDXp 2400+ CPU. For a while before i have a new mobo put it the cpu temp was something like 20'c but since then i have had 2 new mobo's put in and now the cpu runs at 43.5'c is this right or is it to hot i am thinking of getting a new cpu heatsing with fan.

I was thinking of getting this one COOLERMASTER JET 7 AMD BLOWER COOLER but it says Application for AMD 3200+ and higher would this work on my AMDXp 2400+CPU THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Thats a little hot for that cpu... Did you use the existing cooler when you changed the board. It could be that some of the compound was damaged when you removed it.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

That temps fine mate, my 2000 runs at about 45 idle, and 50 load.. dont worry about it.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Is it a barton athlon ?

Have a look at this page - http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...4_3748,00.html

Find the version of your chip and look up the temp. It does sound a bit hot to me !

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

No just a plain amdxp 2400+ and im not to sure about the compund i built the pc at college and we had some problems with the mobo first 1 i blowed up and the seconed they change it for a new make and modle which i am glad they did its alot better but they did it at college so im not to sure if it is the case wot should i do and can i use that cpu cooler

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

There is no problem with using a more powerfull cooler. I allways overrate the coolers when I build a system. It could be that the compound was damaged during the moving of the cooler.

There is cirtainly no harm in buying the larger cooler. It will allso future proof you if you ever upgrade the chip.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

thank you very much about the info i was just comfirming i did 2 years ict but that was 1 year ago now how do i go about removeing the old compund and putting new 1 on thanks

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

That temp. is absolutely fine, I had a machine with a 2400+ in running at just under 50oC for ages (until I upgraded).

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

If you are just going to replace the compound :-

Get some cotton wool buds and isoprpile alcahol (you can get these from maplin) take off the chip and the cooler carefully and make sure you wear an antistatic wrist strap. Using the IPA clean of the compound from both the cooler and from the die in the centre of the cpu. Dont forget to clean the edges of the die. Place a small blob of compound (about a pin head) of compound on the centre of the raised die on the chip. Then replace the cooler.

Do not put too much compound on. To much compound can be worse than none at all.

There are lots of good compounds around. I like arctic silver myself.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

The 2400 is thoroughbred, Bartons don't start until 2500.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

You need more than pin head size! The point of heatsink compound is to even out the imperfections in the machining of the heatsink/CPU die, generally a pea sized amount does the trick.

(as for antistatic straps, it's doubtful that most people own them, so earthing yourself on the case chassis is just as effective, i.e. hold it with your spare hand)

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Normaly no... There were a batch of OEM cpu's at that speed with the barton chip...

The only reason I recomended changing the compound or cooler is that the chip temp has gone up since the board change. Could be that its on a faster chipset I supose !

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Can you provide more details? I've only ever seen thoroughbred 2400's which would actually indicate "normally yes".

It's still running at a perfectly reasonable temp. no point spending more money when there's no need to.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

If it leaks over the side of the die it can cause problems m8..... It would have to be a small pea :)

The air gap around the die can have air temperatures that are very very high. This can dry the compound and actualy insulate the die from the heat sync.... I have seen this happen thousands of times.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Yes I'm sure you have (slightly exaggerated that is), just about every article I've ever read in magazines, online .. anywhere, have recommended a pea sized amount of HSC.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

But I digress, what about these "Barton 2400's"? (And don't even think about offering up information on Mobile processors) :D

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

thanks all i will have a go later or 2morrow

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

I used to work for a pc building/sales company as QA manager. We used to have 2/3 pc's a week that had this problem. I worked there for 4 years so that would be about right :) Still its up to iain_herts what he wants to do...

Personaly I dont see any harm in overrating the cooler. After all the cooler you can run the chip the better it will perform...

Oh and iain_herts make sure that if you just hold the case and dont use a strap that you leave the power cable plugged into the psu with the mains off at the plug. That way you will have a good earth and reduce the risk of ESD damage.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

The 2400's were a small batch that AMD only delivered to OEM's we had loads of problems with them getting to hot on via chipsets.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Are you sure?

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

the i have is a oem and i have the kit anyway pc tools riststrap so thats not a prop but the cooler is for Application for AMD 3200+ and higher is that ok with a 2400+ i think it would be

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Asus probe on my AMD 2400 indicates

CPU 44
MB 32
Fan 5500

Looks fine to me

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

My machine is really letting me down these days. once upon a time mine would run full load @ 40C while all my friends would run around about 50C idle, it was a good time :D.
A couple of months ago I took off my heatsink to fit a 'better' one. im currently using the stock retail AMD heatsink and have been ever since installing this cpu, when it came to clipping the new HS I found that the clip was broken and as such it wasnt seccure so I decided to reattatch My old HS, only problem was I was all out of thermal compound, I tried my best to smooth out what was left of the compound but clearly there must have been airbubbles as my CPU now Idles at 48C - 49C (dont know full load, only just reinstalled my mobo monitor a few mins ago ;) )

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

might be best to invest in a fire extinguisher as well :Yikes:

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Me too, mines at 47(cpu) and 33(mobo) degs.
In the summer it went up to 65 degs. Gets up to 57 degs when gaming.
(I've got the 2400xp as well (oc'd to 2600))

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

:Yikes: Yes I would agree "IF" you are sure about your mains polarity. I have seen mains boards wired reverse polarity at the suppliers end, ( this would mean a permanant live and a switched neutral at the end of any cable ) not saying this is common but with anything concerning electricty, BE SAFE RATHER THAN SORRY. If you are not sure then don't do it,

Can't see it
Can't hear it
Can't smell it
Can't taste it
( Normaly ) :)
But boy it packs a punch

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Your telling me. Its actually quite annoying though, ive given away 2 retail AMD fans, countless aplications of my thermal compound and one massive HS& Fan wich wieghed a ton and had an 80mm fan attatched to the top, now I could do with any one of those back and wouldnt you know the same friends I helped out by giving these things to dont wanna know when I need a favour :dozey: Typical.

Its not like I want any of the stuff back, Just a little Dab of thermal Compound would do.... Gonna go down my local PC shop tomorrow and use my few remaining pennies to buy some, Im skint now until payday (2 weeks away :yikes: ) saving up for Driving lessons & Riding lessons.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

that temperature is shockinigly low for me... my p4 idles at 65C and under load it does to 75... :erm::erm:

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Read arctic silvers own instructions...

http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_s...structions.htm

You should spread it out over the die, before putting the heatsink on.

I've got a Barton 2500.. with the stock retail HSF, it would idle mid 40's and under load mid 50's.. sometimes over 60 if the missus had the heating turned right up..

I bought a Thermaltake Silent Boost cooler (the Athlon one, theres 2, one for athlons, one for AMd64's). Now I have it overclocked to 3200+ (2.2ghz), and it max's out at 50 under load. Sometimes alot lower depending on house temperature..

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

just bouncing along from my previous thread... ive just dismantled my laptop, cleaned out 5 decades worth of dust from the heatsink/heatpipe thingy and my cpu is now at 37C, and hdd at 38C. ambient room is 20C.

hurrah!

only problem is i dont have a hand warmer anymore :(. oh, and the thermal paste connecting the heatpipe to the processor block has dried and gone crusty... is that a bad thing?

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Yep.. What kind was it? One of those pink thermal pads? Get some Artic Silver.. the little tubes they come in last years.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

i run my Barton 2800@2.2ghz and under load only produce 46C with the fan at about 3800rpm oO if i turn it to max i get about 43C out of it but it sounds like ive got a TVR sat under the desk :/

the best system ive built was my old Dual PIII 550 running at 32C under load with 10delta 80mm fans and two stock HS fans :D....could only turn them all on to showboat though due to noise polution :/

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

AMD chips are prety much guaranteed to 85-90C so i wouldn't give it a second thought.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Stability becomes an issue when you excede 50C (Depends on the quality of your chip thogh I think, since mines running stable at 50C right now), you also significantly reduce the lifespan of you chip by running it above 50C. Not that big a problem considdering how often people upgrade CPUs but if you (Like I do) want your CPU to last longer than about 1 1/2 years its a good idea to get some decent cooling going in you case.

Also on a side note, I have never known an AMD chip to make it past POST into windows running above 65C (So I think that 85C - 90C thing is a bit of a lie on AMDs part).

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

My Athon XP2400 runs at about 20 degrees idle, and about 35 degrees under full load.

The CPU cooler is an aero7+, m'board is a Abit NF7-S and the case is a Casetek 1018BLM(with two intake fans at the front, and two exhaust fans at the back)

BTW, the aero7+ is runnning no where near full speed, got it set to just over a 1500RPM.

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Now your just showing off :cool:

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

20 degs?! My house isn't that cool :D
...is it sitting outside in the garden? :D

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

It seems more likeley that his thermal sensor isnt reccording the temperature properly, Im pretty sure its not possible to get temps hes talking about with Air cooling.

Kudos to You if its accurate though Jon T :cool:

Re: AMD2400+ cpu temp
 

Now that is a distinct possibility, when I installed the the m'board, cpu, and heatsing/fan, I had to bend the thermal sensor at the center of the cpu socket, it was sticking straight up and I couldn't get the CPU in the socket, howeever I didn't bend it down completely, and installing the CPU still required a slight downward force as it came into contact with the thermal sensor. So the CPU thermal sensor is touching the bottom of the CPU.

When I was rinning my old m'board, a Abit KR7-133, same CPU but with a Volcano 9 on it, the temperatur was around 26-37 depending on the load on it.

I'm not showing off that much, but I have got an Aerogate 2 fan controller/temperature monitor to install!!
