CPU Temperature

[Gouk]

Does 48 Degrees sound ok for a machine of my spec (see below)?

I only have a CPU fan, a PSU fan and a fan on the graphics card.

Oh and it reaches 48 degrees after about 2 hours and has never gone above 50.

Hi !
As far as I know, if the temps never go over 50°C (or even 60°C), everything is allright !
In your case, you don't have to worry !

Sounds OK to me. 🙂 You should be fine.

Average normal temperature on a Duron 800 is 40 C idle 45 C load.

 

[stuy_b]

with added ambient temp.. 48 sounds right too me.

But my Pentium3 1Ghz never goes above 32 full load!, just a comparison.

It can be cooled better with a good thermal compound like Arctic Silver 3. I have had better cooling with that than the "pad" that comes on many heat sinks. There are some great heatsink / fan combos out there which will also lower the temp. Although your temp seems OK, it wouldn't hurt to try to cool it down a bit.

Good article here using arctic silver 2 on a Duron 800.

Sounds a little too much for a Duron as others said , My Athlon gets 45 in 20 minutes and reaches 47 so far . You should be worried if your cpu [ ! ! ! ] gets over 52-54 degrees

xsivforce, you got a fixation or a fetish for this stuff?? lol
Seriously tho' I must get out and get some, sounds pretty good.

Yes, I do. 😛 I really have good results with it. Make sure when you get it, only apply a very small amount. It contains a high concentration of silver. If it makes contact with anything other than the processor itself, it could cause a problem. Also, remove whatever is already on the heatsink. Other compound or pad or whatever is there.

I set the ACPI CPU Temp ShutDown in the Bios to 60 Degrees so if it reaches 60 my PC will switch off on its own 🙂

Xsivforce, I will try some of that Arctic Silver thermal compound and post back with the results 😀

Oh does that Arctic compound stuff work on humans? Sure would help in the summer heat 😛

 

[xsivforce]

Arctic Silver should pay me a little on the side as much as I mention them. Thermaltake as well with the Volcano 7. 😉 Maybe I should copy all of my posts about both of them and send them to the respective companies. 😛

Dont get me started on Arctic Silver the stuff is one of the best things ever made, and gets better with every new mix, Arctic Silver 3 is wonderful, I am going to get some more when I get my ThermalTake Volcano 7+, as soon as Dabs.com gets some of them in. I would order now, but it is 2-3 weeks, and I will be gone in 2 weeks. Will wait til it is 2-3 days.

Also the Arctic Silver took my CPU temp down by 7 C, they guarrantee about 2-4, but I got 7, this I think is 'cause I had really bad contact between pad and CPU

you cant really do much with Arctic Silver but use on heatsinks, what can xsiv be doing.


*suddenly realises he doesnt want to know*

Do you think my cpu is alright?.

hi
i run a p4 1.3 ghz
wid 384 rd ram
i get a cpu temp of 45 idle
sys zone 1 : 25
and sys zone 2 : 33
do you think this is alright for a p4 1.3 ghz?...or too much?...

 

[w0lv3rin3]

Not bad

Not bad

 

[Gary Pandher]

buh isn't that a lil too much for a measly lil p4 1.3 ghz?....
i mean...45 idle
i think theres somethin wrong
its usin the mobo's sensors...
i got a 70* C load temp...
45* C idle...doin nuthin at all
