CPU Temp
 

I just put together my own machine, and was wondering what everyones average temps were for idle and full load times?

idle = 45
load = 50-53

Mine are so high because I have 4 x 100gb HDDs, a 80gb hdd and a DVD Burner.

I have an Athlon XP 1700, overclocked from 1.47ghz to 2.39ghz.

Idle: 42
Load: 50~53

I'm thinking about buying an slk-800 and a nice 80mm fan whenever I can afford to drop over fifty dollars on a HSF.

McPimpenheimer, what are you using for cooling now? And what's your ambient temperature like? I'm running an XP 2100@1.74GHz (i.e. not OCed) and it idles around 60C. My ambient temperature is about 26C, though, and my case is not really ideal in terms of airflow.

my machine idles at 36 on the cpu, and the ambient is at 30
but under full load, the cpu goes up to about 60

i just purchased a thermaltake volcano 7+ hsf, and i am awaiting shipment

i was just curious as to what people find as a comfortable temp under full load, i know people who say that 50 is still to high, meanwhile a number of monitoring programs set their default alarm at like 70

My 2100+ is roughly 45c idle and 53-55c under load with a Volcano 7.

Prior to the AOpen full tower case, it was a few C higher. I expected a bit of a drop with the new case, but not nearly 5c.

50c is fine.. I think you start running into probs with the latest AMDs once you hit 80c.

im using a 2.6 pentium 4

Pentium IV 3.0CGhz

Idle 30c
Load 42-43

Watercooled. soon to be Peltier Cooled :D

i have a p4 2.4ghz that idles around 30C to 35Cdepending on room temps. got up around 40 sometimes, i havent drivin it hard yet tho.

also a 1.0ghz celeron that stays down around 22 degrees C idle and stays in the 20's most of the time. i expected more because the systems mounted in an old briefcase i had layin around. :crazy: :lol:

Athlon XP 2400+

Idle 50C, Full Load @57C

2.8c GHz p4 idles at 38C and load is at 45-47C. Kinda high i think but its cuz i am using a shuttle mini pc with a Radeon 9800 and 2 100 Gig hdds. I am just gonna put a 80mm exhaust fan or 2 60mm exhaust fans on the top to get the hot air out of there since it is such a small space.

My 800mhz PIII (OC'd to 900mhz, FSB OC'd to 150 and multiplier at 6.0 - default) is running at 44C idle, 48-50C load. Ambient temperature's at about 40C.

P4 1.6A @ 2.336GHz with a Volcano 7cu+ on Medium
Load - 45C

p4 3.0C
32 idle
36-40 load

AMD AthlonXP 2400+ running at 2.22ghz at 1.85 volts

Idle 32 degrees celcius
Full load 41 degrees celsius

Cooled with an SLK-800 with smartfanII and Artic Silver3 for the thermal compound

Don't worry much if it goes up to 50-55. I know several people who use theirs perfectly like that. In fact one of my servers ran at that during full load time (1u rackmount, duron 850 :))

What kind of cooling do you have in it now? I've got an XP1700 taking up floorspace, and I've been seriously wanting to clock it. Looking for some advice.

I try to stick mine around 45 degrees C if at all possible at idle.

I figure if you can get it down to about that at load, you're doing very well...

I switched myself back to Intel hardware because I didn't like having to make my CPU sound like a Chinook just to cool the proc.

P4 2.8

Idle - 50c
Load - 60c

Note: I have an Abit IS7-G mobo, Abit's boards are notorious for reporting overly high temps. Tons of places I have read this so if you have a fairly new Abit mobo and your temps seem a bit high that is probably why..
