Werd to the Wise: Clean Yer Filters
My 'puter was running around 53°C and I was wondering what was up. I ended up taking out the intake filters and they were totally clogged with dust. I cleaned them completely and now I'm running around 46-48°C.
:thumbsup: |
i do it every now and then :D i also clean out my cpu fans and heatsink (mist silent twin). You will allways get dust in there, even with a filter.
|
I vacuumed out my old computer, and without the dust, I jumped from 448mhz to 453. It wasn't even that dirty, but the cooling on it was sub-par (Fuck you, Compaq)
|
was that 53 C internal CPU temperature, or the chipset temperature, or the case? videocard? harddisk?
I want details, dammit! :) (Seriously, I wanne know if my readings are reasonable...) |
Dragonlich, the CPU temp was 53°C. Case temp stayed about the same at 37°C.

There is no general "safe" area that applies to all hardware. For example the non XP Athlons routinely get much hotter than a more modern chip could withstand on a normal basis. I would try looking up the manufacturers specs or something if you are concerned. |
