Athlon 64 Temperatures?

I just installed my new Athlon 64 3000+, and Im thinking temps are a bit high. Im running 47C idle, 55C load. Nothing too bad, but enough to make the fan kick into overdrive. This doesnt make sense to me though--I didnt think it was that hot of a chip, and its lower in the line--slower, and generally less heat. Its also sitting in a nice case with *plenty* of ventilation, so I doubt thats it.

Is this just a hot chip in general? The HSF appears to be on just fine, but Ill check it again when I get home anyways. Im baffled

My 64 3200+ is running currently at 42C idle. I've gotten temps up to 55C and beyond before though. For instance, when my air conditioning broke a month back, and the house temperature upstairs (where I am) was around 80F, my cpu temp jumped to 62C.

Nothing to be worried about, 55C may seem extreemly hot, but it's not going to be a detrimental effect on your preformance.

Tips on getting it lower:

Copper Heatsink, SLK/TT
Move the case closer to an air conditioning vent.
Remove clutter inside the case. (Zip ties work wonders).

I'm sure there's more, but I don't want to take all the answers away.

Those are normal temperatures for any processor. I wouldn't worry one bit.

Yeah. I was thinking you might want to consider a different HSF if it's of any concern. Like this one.

Im not worried about the temps so much as Im annoyed when the fan kicks into overdrive. Its loud.

What he said.
That's about what I run with a stock HSF on an XP 1600.

At my computer shop, we've got an athlon 64 3400+ running at 55C (full load) with a big-arse Zalman 7000-Cu cooler. It's normal.

I'm happy with my Pentium 4 2.6c... only 45C at full load (33 idle). A 2.8e (newer core) runs at 55 at idle... damn bastards are hot.

your temps are fine in my opinion.....I had mine get up to 162F degrees but that was because the frikin fan that came with it failed but now that I replaced it its about the same as yours.

Speeze Socket A fan for XP 2500+ and the highest temp I've seen is 31C. And that's when it was 90+F in the house.
