glockfan Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Hey! I have 2 PIII 1.13 GHZ CPU's running at 91 and 95 Degrees Farenheit. What is the Optimal/maximum temp they should be at? Also is 95 acceptable? i seached intel's site and blah :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I8PP Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 i cant offer any numbers for you, but here's a number for you to compare. My P4 2.0A is currently running at 35 C / 95 F in a slightly A/C'd room. So my guess your processors should run a bit cooler than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalo Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Hm... My AMD 1.4GHz TBird is at 150 F, so I guess your 95 F is ok. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brn2prgrm Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Well my P3 565mhz is running at 30?C (85?F) so yours seems like it's runing fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAMN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatm1ke Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 My Xp 2100+ is running at 63 C and it has a this big Coolermaster HSF on it, I always thought that was acceptable temp though. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawtai Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 63C is a little high, but there aren't really any problems with you running your comp like that. I run my t-bird at about 60C but I can get all the way up to like 70C depending on if it's really hot that day (non A/C room). I wouldn't worry too much about running at 63C though.

threetonesun Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 yeah, my new 1700 XP+ runs around 60 C, but it ain't so bad since my old laptop CPU (Celeron 500) was running so hot if you put the comp in your lap it would burn your skin... And remember, if it gets too hot, the best way to cool it down is to thrown some water on the motherboard. :cheeky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YahoKa Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 CPUS can stay alive at temps up to 185 F or so, but the hotter they are the shorter their life is, esp if you turn your computer on and off alot. That's why u gotta use good cooling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travis_l_969 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I have a athlon 1700+ overclocked by about 100mhz. On a hot day with no ac it can hit up to 52C or 126F. So I don't think that is too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazerBack Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 My system has an coppper HS + 80mm fan (2070 RPMs) 51C idle and 59C after playing WarCraft III for a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatm1ke Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I think the variation of CPU temp from one person's system to another is mainly down to how accurate the sensors are onboard the motherboard. I had a PC CHips motherboard a while back and had to RMA it and the temp from one revision to another changed by 15 C with the same exactly CPU HSF (15 C lower). My new Ga-7VRXP Rev 1.1 is showing signs of being faulty and I've heard that the newer revision 2.0 has a different Thermal sensor and people have reported a drop of around 10 C in their CPU temp, whether this is true or not (running the CPU 10 C cooler) I doubt it, but it's probably just giving a more accurate temp reading.
