sengork Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Hello all. I'll go straight to the point this time ;) Athlon XP 1500+ with AMD certified fan (4400 RPM, thermal paste and heat sink) Now I was wondering what kinds of temperatures would be expectable from this configuration. Currently I'm getting temperatures of up to 43 degrees (celsius) and on average 40 degrees. Has anyone have a similar configuration? What are your temperatures for the CPU? And most importantly what would be the temperature, where I should be worried? :? Thanx all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphere Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 i would'nt know too much about the temperatures with that configuration, but my cpu temp is around 50. so i would'nt be too worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPayne1357 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 On my axp 2000+ w/ retail f/hs i get idle temps of around 56c and max load temp of around 68c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 49?C here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayMan2K Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I have an Athlon XP 1.46 Mhz (whatever AMD rating that equals). It is running at 100% cpu usage almost 24/7 during the winter with the stock fan. It stays between 145-157 F. The ASUS motherboard runs at room temperature always. The temperature was taken by the onboard heat sensors. I plan to upgrade teh cooling system.. just don't have a clue where to begin :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgEnTsMiTh Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Your temps are perfect, dont worry about them at all. The max range when you should worry is about 75-80, at 90 you can RIP lol!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnqpublic Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 My athlon 1.4ghz tends to reset randomly after the temp exceeds 60 degC. Anyone else have this prob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nohoy Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Originally posted by sengork Athlon XP 1500+ with AMD certified fan (4400 RPM, thermal paste and heat sink) well is it a retail heatsink or just one that you know amd says is good enough. im just wondering becuase on my moms retail heatsink there is wax so it does not need any paste. um the wax isnt any good really but if you put the paste on the heatsink on the wax then that would make the temperature higher. but your temps are fine. and i assume those are idle temps so thats not too bad. i have mine run at full load and 43 degrees but then again i am using a high speed fan and all. so your temps are just fine I have an Athlon XP 1.46 Mhz (whatever AMD rating that equals). 1700 is the pr for that chip. and then any deviation of about 66mhz is another rating deviation.

nohoy Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Originally posted by TruBD edit ur BIOS or you may just want to try to cool it some more, that never hurts and will only do good things. you could drop a couple degrees with a better heatsink and fan and that could extend the life of your chip.

jayp6969 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 so an 1800+ is ok 2 be running 52 idle and about 57 under load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmakillernz Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Originally posted by jayp6969 so an 1800+ is ok 2 be running 52 idle and about 57 under load Well I idle 50ish and under heavy load hit 60-63 often. AthlonXP 2000+ with standard cooling that came with it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwarren Veteran Posted July 22, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 22, 2002 My CPU never runs over 45C even when under heavy load, usually idles at around 38C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris123NT Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Originally posted by creamhackered My CPU never runs over 45C even when under heavy load, usually idles at around 38C LOL u live in an igloo or something. It must be the temp sensor on my mobo reading high i sware. Cuz theres no way in hell my cpu can hit 50C max load with a swiftech mcx462. Maybe i'll get a digi doc 5 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is all right with the temperatures :) Thanx for the replyes all. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xiphias Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 my athlon 2200+ idles at around 29 with the wpcredit register trick and loads out at about 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cron0 Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 No wonder why thoses temperatures differences. It all depends on where your CPU Temp. sensor is :s Mine is between the CPU Core and my Water-Cooled Heatsink (Koolance) and I get temperatures around 36C when idle and 40-42 at high loads. But theses days, the weather is sooo hot and humid that I get 40C at idle and 44 at high loads :old: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faction Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 haha 43 is good. msi boards read like 15 C lower just for you people with them my board reads a bit high, because its temp sensor is unlike any other boards, it actually touches the cpu core. on average i get 50-55 C during summer and on coldish days like 45-50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjordan2001 Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Mine was around 60-67C, down to 50-55C now that I took off the side and stuck a regular fan next to it. Not bad, 10C off. So remember if you want cooler temps fast, just stick a fan next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 taking the side of the case also helps, it lowered mine in about 5?C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persianpsycho Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 how do you check the temperature without going into bios? My amd athlon xp 1800+ has a temperature of around 45 during bootup, but my computers been freezing a lot during games. Is this because the cpu is overheating? Or is this some other hardware problem.

Roger H. Veteran Posted July 27, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2002 games use 100% of the CPU so it should be hotter then (that's the load temps) My load temp on my 1800+ is about 47C. My normal temps is 39C and my case temp is 35C so i guess... I'm using a ThermalTake Volcano 7 @ 3800RPM (not the PLUS version) and 2 intake fans and 2 outake (plus the PSU so add one more i guess but it sometimes don't even run. It's ice cold in there! :) ) It turns on when it needs to. oh and get something like www.hmonitor.com or motherboard monitor. I rather and use Hmonitor.
