| 310566 | 2005-01-05 04:52:00 | My athlon 3000 + xp runs at between about 50-56 degrees under a full load with stock cooling. So your temps sound about right if you're also under full load. :) | Raikyn (6293) | ||
| 310567 | 2005-01-05 05:56:00 | i got a volcano 9 to - good , if you are paranoid about weight get the volcano 10 as it it below 300g - dont know its preformance though. If you are not experining crashes etc dont worry so much but try get it lower ( having a fan on the bottom of the psu is always good ) | noone (22) | ||
| 310568 | 2005-01-05 09:13:00 | i think my CPU is running too hot i have an AMD Athlon Xp 3200+ wat is the basic temp mine is running around 54 - 56 degrees celcius i use EasyTune4 to check the temp My P4 3.2 is running around 68-70 degrees in this hot muggy weather when it is under full load playing games like Far Cry and the like. Idle is about 40 degrees. It is fully stable at this temp. In the winter in the colder weather it runs around 60 - 65 under the same load and 30-35 at idle. |

| 310569 | 2005-01-05 09:41:00 | thanx guys... i have opened the case & running a fan into it.. so now it sits on about 50 idle & games |

| 310570 | 2005-01-05 10:18:00 | I use an AMD3200+ I don't use any fans apart from the CPU Fan, PSU Fans and VGA Fan. Your temp for the CPU sounds reasonable to me. What would I know? Ask Metla maybe. |

| 310571 | 2005-01-05 10:19:00 | thanx guys... i have opened the case & running a fan into it.. so now it sits on about 50 idle & games Don't bother with the open case and fan. If it's that much of a concern to you either get a better heatsink and fan or improve the efficiency of the case cooling. |

| 310572 | 2005-03-27 22:48:00 | :badpc: I have a Prescott 3.2Eghz and I can't seem to get it to run coller than 58/61*c under normal idle. It has spike up as high as 71/79*c and that was before i change out from the aerocooler heatsink and fan i bought for it. I know these things run hotter but I figured there was some even ground to this thing. I am considering water cooling to help is it worth it? | Hibikisan (6778) | ||
| 310573 | 2005-03-27 23:04:00 | somethign i've noticed on quite a few systems i've been called to fix is the amount of dust that gets trapped under the cpu fan in the top of the heatsink fins........if you have a bit of dust in there it'll very effectively block the airflow from the heatsink fan into the heatsink and thus prevent efficient cooling......if that's what's happening then it wont matter what kind of extra fans you put in the system | drcspy (146) | ||
| 310574 | 2005-03-27 23:13:00 | I have an Athlon 64 3200+. Just idleing the temp is about 42. Under load it has got up to 54. Recently when room temp has been up to 30 my CPU has not gone over 55. I installed an extra case fan, and it has made absolutely no difference to CPU. Temp readings taken from Asus Probe. At the moment CPU is 41 and motherboard is 33 |

| 310575 | 2005-03-28 01:42:00 | I have a Thermalright XP90 with a Vantec Stealth fan and max temp is 49% (under load). For a socket A CPU they have a slightly different model: www.overclockers.co.nz Combined with a Vantec Stealth fan you get cool AND quiet. Plus tidy up your cables, ideally have 2 fans - one front and back if you can, so that airflow is maximised. |
