CPU Temp - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

cougr · 07-24-2003, 06:42 AM

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

Vanquish · 07-24-2003, 07:52 AM

idle = 45
load = 50-53

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

McPimpenheimer · 07-24-2003, 08:09 AM

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.

zztzed · 07-24-2003, 09:12 AM

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.

cougr · 07-24-2003, 10:20 AM

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

tinfoil · 07-24-2003, 10:23 AM

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.

cougr · 07-24-2003, 10:29 AM

im using a 2.6 pentium 4

Stargazer01 · 07-24-2003, 10:48 AM

Pentium IV 3.0CGhz

Idle 30c
Load 42-43

Watercooled. soon to be Peltier Cooled

sean paul · 07-24-2003, 11:12 AM

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.

chainsawred · 07-24-2003, 10:12 PM

Athlon XP 2400+

Idle 50C, Full Load @57C

YaWhateva · 07-25-2003, 02:17 PM

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.

Jaron · 07-25-2003, 03:45 PM

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.

gibz0r · 07-25-2003, 05:53 PM

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

oozy85 · 07-25-2003, 09:40 PM

p4 3.0C
32 idle
36-40 load

Camaro SS · 07-26-2003, 01:29 AM

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

Leviathan[NCV] · 07-26-2003, 08:13 AM

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.

07-26-2003, 07:37 PM

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.

yaycr · 07-27-2003, 02:52 AM

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..
