| 84182 | 2002-09-28 10:32:00 | Hello all! I've recently got myself an Athlon XP 2000+ with a Asus A7V333 mobo, its busy purring away but i just checked the temperatures and they seem awfully high - 50 degrees average for the CPU (about 57-58 while playing games, and the mobo is running at about 28-30 degrees - this is all according to Asus Probe 2, the computer did crash yesterday and boot up into the BIOS saying something about the CPU speed being mistaken or something, but hasn't occured since, it has been a bit slow sometimes but thats probably due to installing about 30 programs today and needs a defrag... btw i havn't done any overclocking yet and am running XP So any ideas?? is this temperature normal or what? Thanks - David |

| 84185 | 2002-09-28 10:46:00 | cpu temp is a little warm but is ok. it all depends on what heatsink you have. case temp is warmish but that depends on what your room temp is. no where near crashing temp yet. what heatsink and case fan setup do you have? |

| 84186 | 2002-09-28 12:26:00 | My AMD beast - XP1800+ running @ 1650 MHz averages in the 40s and tops out at 50 with full load (eg. thrashing many graphically intense games). I use a Thermaltake Volcano 6 heatsink+fan - very good but quite loud. I think I read that AMD thinks that the Athlon XP: @ 75c you should get better cooling and they reckon it will run ok up to 100c - I don't think I would want my CPU heating the room though :D If your thinking about overclocking I would get some extra case fans or a better CPU heatsink/fan. |

| 84187 | 2002-09-29 09:32:00 | I have an Duron 1300 which runs constantly at 68 with the case temp at 30. It has not been at all unstable and as the temps are constant it doesn't worry me too much but I did think the cpu temp was too high |

| 84188 | 2002-09-29 09:40:00 | you have to remember there are different ways to measure tempature . not all motherboards use the internal diode in the XP chip . 68 is bareable if it uses internal sensor but extremlly bad if its the sensor unerneath the cpu . also some boards report a little inaccurately . |
