225158 2004-03-25 11:27:00 Hello All,

Can anyone please tell me what the recommended operating temp should be for an AMD Athlon 1.3 or 1.4 processor be?

Is there an average temp that most CPU's run @?

While I'm at it, whaddabout Motherboard temp...it's an ASUS, but once again is there an approximate average temp for most motherboards?

Thanks very much in advance!

Darcy.

225160 2004-03-25 12:30:00 well the old atho tbird 1.4 is one of the hottest running cpu's around.

however due to the temp reding being taken via the heatsensor on the motherboard temps read cooler than later cpu's which have a sensor inside the cpu.

mine hits 50 degrees at full load. add 20 degrees to take in account of the different load and internal cpu temp would be 70. max temp is 90ish(amd list exact max temps on their site).

225162 2004-03-28 18:18:00 Don't worry about temp. As long as your cpu fan is working you will be in the safe range. CPU temp is safe up to the 80's and m/b is normally well below this.

225163 2004-03-28 21:43:00 with those cpus you do worry. ;-)

with no thermal cutout (or even with the useless ne on the mobo) all it needs is a fan to die and the cpu fries to death.

make sure its got a decent heatsink so when the fan dies or it gets filled up with dust it has a bit of headroom and the cpu dosn't overheat and die before you notice anything wrong.

>m/b is normally well below this

???? whats that ment to mean ?
