CPU Temps

AMD4Life · Jan 26, 2005, 12:36 AM

For the most part, I hear Athlon64s run relatively cool, although My CPU (look in sig) seems to idle at about 41-43 Celsius, and I noticed the temp go up to 58 after playing some CS: Source. Usually the CPU temp stays in the mid-high 50 degrees celsius range in games. Are these temps a bit too high considering I am using stock cooling? I have a case with a 120mm fan blowing in from the front, and 80mm sid panel fan with an air guide blowing into the cpu heatsink, and a 120mm exhaust fan on the back. Also, my PSU has a 120mm fan on the bottom. I usually keep the room at 70-72 degrees farenheit.

Nothing to worry about. Maybe somewhat high compared to others but in no way "too high" and far from any danger. With those fans in the case you can comfortably forget about needing to check any temperatures too oftenly.
