Depends on which core you have, ambient temp, case temp, but normally it shouldn't be more than 25C above case temp under 100% load. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

This processor is an AMD +2000 [rated] Thoroughbred running at 53ºC [127º
F]. The case seems to run around 40ºC [104º F]. When the CPU hits around 131ºF it stops working.... Any cooling ideas? -- Zyp "Wes Newell" wrote in message news:3ZNMg.948$FS.501@trnddc04...

The case is too hot. What's room temp? What kind of case is it? What case fans do you have in it now? Where are mounted? Intake or exhaust? Is the CPU a Tbred A (cpuid 680) or B (cpuid 681). Make/model of cpu cooler? Answer all this and I can then give decent advice. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

AMD Athlon XP
Front intake fan, rear exhaust fan [cool master], the CPU fan is a Volcano
fan with heat sink package, there are 5 hard drives running [probably my problem]. I replaced the rear exhaust fan and the system now runs with a case temperature of 98º F and a CPU temperature of 118º F. The case I have now probably is too small for all the drives .... the answer may be for me to get a larger case with installed fans on the side cover? -- Zyp "Wes Newell" wrote in message news:ngNNg.51738$Qb2.9827@trnddc08...

AMD Athlon XP UPDATE
Ok;
I've replaced the 'smaller' 9 bay 300 watt case with a 12 bay 500 watt case [more better for 5 hard drives]... I've installed one exhaust fan to the rear, installed an extra fan bringing air in, with temp. sensor fan speed] on an external duct from the side cover to the CPU... made sure the cables are not impeding the air flow, and, viola... now after heaving processing the CPU is at 102º F and the case temp. is at 87º F.... thinking a second fan in the front, but lets see..... any suggestions? -- Zyp "Zephyr" wrote in message news:dO2dnTIKAZqy8pHYnZ2dnUVZ_qWdnZ2d@championbroa dband.com...

I think you are good to go with what you have now. Another fan might help a little more, but not a lot. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |
