Authentic AMD and Operating Temps

I purchased an Athlon 2100+ but it even AMD's own CPU utilities report, "
Unknown CPU Type." This is an issue with the processor or my computer's
BIOS?

Sandra 2003 reports board temps of 55 degrees C and Power/Aux temps of 73
degrees C. AMD.com reports the maximum on-die temp of 90 degrees C. And
many in here report operating temps below 35 degrees C. I am having
difficulty making sense of all this. Am I running too hot?

Thanks,

Dave

Unknown CPU is not uncommon. Yes. it's a bios issue (actaully a
non-issue).

Way too hot. Check your cpu cooler installation.

If the board temperature is 55C I'd look at the case cooling first.

I also use an XP2100+ Palomino. I removed the thermal tape on the retail
heatsink and applied a light layer of heatsink paste.
What is the temp of the room you have this pc in?
My board temps are in the 30's after awhile, but my PC would get up to about
63C while online gaming.
I bought an Aeroflow heatsink/fan and I now sometimes get into the low 50's
while doing intensive running, but otherwise stay in the low 40's during
normal use.
Take the sides off your PC and then see what the temps are.
Download MotherBoardMonitor and see what it shows for temps.
It sure sounds like a very hot room or very poor case ventilation.
What are the temps reported in the BIOS?

Check the temps in your BIOS to get a baseline. Your apps may be reporting the wrong temps.
