| 197728 | 2003-12-06 22:18:00 | Hi AIDA reports the following for my AMD 2600+ on a Gigabyte GA7N400L Board with standard retail box cooling heatsink and fan. Temperatures Motherboard 30 °C (86 °F) CPU 61 °C (142 °F) Aux 30 °C (86 °F) Cooling Fans CPU 3125 RPM Chassis 3125 RPM There is also another 8cm fan running that isn't reported in AIDA. I was at first concerned about the temp as my P3 never ran that hot, but I looked through the AMD help site and saw the info that Steve posted and decided I didn't need to be concerned. The CPU temp gets to 65 when playing games, and I haven't experienced slow-downs. There must be something else contributing to the slow-down. J. :D |

| 197729 | 2003-12-06 22:38:00 | Question... Do AMD chips run hotter than intel chips... I have seen a couple of people state there 'puter' temps... there saying there cpus are in the range 50 - 60 c mine is running at 36.0 C intel P4 1.8 GHz on a 400 bus... not overclocked... my fan speed is also 2700... a bit less than some mentioned in this post... hmmm... |

| 197730 | 2003-12-07 00:18:00 | over drive- have you installed the motherboard drivers? 00falcon- generaly speaking yes. also you have to remeber there are a couple of different ways the temps are mesured. under cpu temp sensors give a much cooler reading. also the temp sensors are not very accurate and other factors such as bios and the program you use to read the temps can make the reading differ from what it really is. some motherboards are well known to report incorrect temps, check for a bios update. sometimes you can get a program/driver that interfees with the wait state so the cpu temp is higher than normal. |

| 197731 | 2003-12-08 13:55:00 | I kinda disagree with you ugh1, AMD is fully within their rights with their heatsinks, I have yet to see a CPU with a standard HSF reach AMD's danger temperature of 90 degrees, if you want your system cooler then go buy yourself a better fan, thats not their problem because it runs despite a bit hot . I have an Athlon XP 2000+ and it got upto 70 degrees last summer with the standard HSF, i've recently upgraded that to a Volcano 9 with a couple of case fans and now it gets to probably 55 max . This is perfectly fine really, as long as it works it's fine! I wouldn't worry too much - David |

| 197732 | 2003-12-08 21:45:00 | It should be noted for anyone considering the HSF reconmended by Babe Ruth that it will not fit all motherboards. Check out this site to see if your motherboard is compatiable: www.zalman.co.kr *the heatsink also exceeds the weight reconmendations for Skt A motherboards, and nearly exceeds the reconmendations for P4 + AMD64 motherboards. Heatsinks that exceed the weight reconmendations have been known to rip the entire ZIFF socket out of the motherboard. |

The problem is not the temp the CPU bursts into flames at, its the one where the CPU becoms unstable! and not even AMD will give you an answer on that one, but I can assure you it will be lower then 90 degrees . Past informal tests have found that 55 deg . or higher and the CPU will lose its marbels! |
