cpu temp and mb temp

bluefish · Feb 14, 2003, 12:36 PM

I have an AMD Athlon XP 2100+ cpu and was wonder what is the average cpu temp at sustained operating usage?
I know that AMDs run a little higher than Intels.

Do you know where I can find the any info?

Thanks

Is it a Thoroughbred or Palamino?

The_Neon_Cowboy · Feb 15, 2003, 12:21 PM

it's dependant on your cpu cooler and the airflow in you case... What temps are you getting?

bluefish · Feb 15, 2003, 02:40 PM

cpu=73, mb=43, standard boxed amd heatsink and cpu. .18 micron

Mystik · Feb 16, 2003, 10:35 AM

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that those temps are far and not celcius..
If that's the case, then those temps are quite fine.

but if those ARE temperatures in celcius..
then those are much too high, in my standards.

my temps right now are:

CPU: 40c
SYS: 28c

yes...if you are getting 73 celsius... ****... you need to get like 10 new fans and a heatsink/fan that blows 50 CFM. to the people on this forum 50 celsius is high. but if it is in fahrenheit then i am very very jealous of your temps

dipstick · Feb 16, 2003, 08:15 PM

I really doubt that those temps are F, since that would be 23C and that is simply impossible with a stock cooler. You should really look into some fans as 73C is very high and will kill the cpu before it's time

Mystik · Feb 16, 2003, 08:18 PM

If you can't afford any extra cooling or case modifications,
i suggest that you leave the sidepanel off for now to help keep
hot air out and fresh air to the cpu.

bluefish · Feb 17, 2003, 02:08 PM

I have the boxed cpu & fan from AMD. What replacement fan would you recommend? I have viewed the AMD site and they recommend several.

Well, to keep things quiet I recommend a monster heatsink so you can run a slow 2500rpm fan and still have it cool better than crappy heatsink with a screamin 5000rpm fan. I run an SLK800 with an 80mm case fan that runs at 2500rpm and still cools my highly OCed cpu extremely well. Check it out here http://www.thermalright.com/slk800.html It's like $35 at www.newegg.com but if that is too much $$, the SLK700 is not that much behind the 800 for a much better price. They are the best money can buy.

slk800 looks sounds good I though but what I plan to use won't work on it..
(I going to go with mcx462+ and a 120mm fan (with 80mm adapter) 60 cfm at only 32 db but its gonna cost a good $80) I would go with kakarot's sugestion.............. oh and don't forget the artic silver 3!

Mystik · Feb 17, 2003, 04:43 PM

i'm scared of those slk's..
they're huge but only use the socket-clips instead of mounting holes..

i'm partial to alpha for some odd reason.

i plan to upgrade, but not anytime soon since i have no cash.
was thinking of the pal8045. =)

My cpu was running at 63c hehe, bought a blower and did some shifty with the layout of the wires and it's around 50c now. :O

DriveEuro · Feb 17, 2003, 05:45 PM

What type of CPU are you running and how much OC?

DaSnIpE · Feb 17, 2003, 06:05 PM

Add a couple of case fans 1st, then if needed by a better HSF, it really depends how much u oc.

Mystik · Feb 17, 2003, 06:51 PM

case fans will drop his temperature, but it's still
much to high.. but it would be good to get some air-flow first
before upgrading hsf.. it is cheaper and will help, especially
when he upgrades his hsf..

bluefish · Feb 17, 2003, 07:56 PM

By adding a couple of case fans near the cpu/heatsink I was able to get the temps down to cpu 50C and MB 35C. Do I still need to get a new heat sink or those acceptable temps for an AMD XP 2100+ .18 micron?

If those are under load, then yes, it's good. 50C is the max you really wanna let a cpu reach

bluefish · Feb 22, 2003, 02:04 PM

Thanks to all your help I got my cpu=30-33C and my mb=30-35C. They usef thermal tape and grease. I used MicroSi MPU 3.7 grease. Boy was it expensive. Thanks again

Mystik · Feb 23, 2003, 03:30 AM

Nice temperatures!

If you ever need anymore help, just post. =)
