[merged] How hot is your cpu

[Ramrod]

athlon xp 2400@2600 running at 50degs, mobo at 34

Athlon 2200XP running at 47 degress, motherboard is at 34 degrees. I'm using the Zalman copper "flower" heatsink with the 92mm fan running at just over 1800 rpm.

I have seen the CPU up to about 52 degrees if I've been doing a lot of processor intensive stuff and it's been a hot day.

hmm - I will have to look in the bios, I'm not sure if MBM 5 is working with my mobo

sensor 1 says -48°C - but obviously wrong

sensor 2 says 65°C

sensor 3 says 50°C

cpu is at 100% (amd 2600xp, running Seti, as well as browsing)

35 = Case, 51 = Chipset and 63 = Processor - verify what they read in BIOS (hardware health) after a reboot, as MBM needed a -10C correction on the CPU for mine (GA-7IXE4).

Currently running at 41C case, 48C CPU (1200 Athlon), with the side panel off - I was having power supply cutouts, and had two more with the side off, but pulled the old tape drive (as I'd heard the motor activate for no reason), and so far, it's as hot as it was with the panel on, and (now I'll be lucky if it lets me finish this) no cutouts since!


PS. http://stargaz0r.nm.ru/ - S2KCtl - a freeware "cooling bit" control for the Athlon - it WORKS, BUT:

The power bumps that result from the cycling between full/low power, and the memory load caused by the cache voiding on entry to LP state, place GREAT DEMANDS ON STABILITY - I usually crash under any northbridge cooling bit solution, not just this one.

NB. If the icon is RED, cooling is not enabled, if GREEN, it is - it toggles on a double click.

My new system is currently between 30 and 31 degrees C when idle.

System: Pentium 4: 3.4Ghz

I have 2 fans extracting air along the case, the CPU fan, Graphics card fan, and then the PSU fan.
And a little window to see through which is nice

Currently:

CPU: 31

Motherboard: 30

I know athlons run hot but double :o

mobo - 43
athlon 2600 - 60 idle

[Bifta]

Processor (XP3200) 22 idle, 27 under load, case temp around 23 idle, 29 under load, GPU, (X800XT PE) 31 under load

[Ramrod]

athlon2400xp 45 at idle, 55 under load. MB 30 degs..........dunno about the GPU

Motherboard 40 (all time)

CPU
45 Idle
52 Under-Load

Its not sick so i dont stuff a thermometer up its a...

not sure if Bifta had his water cooling, way back then +37°C for me atm, still AMD 2600

-37 ....refrigeration?

thankyou - edited - sorry about that, I hadn't meant to give away any ideas using solid carbon dioxide at -56° C - you should probably maintain it as a supercritical fluid, but the expense may be beyond even 'your' resources

Initially I didn't, I still do have it, but I'm getting hold of a Vapochill box as soon as I work out how to chill the GPU along with the processor. -30 degree's here we come.
