What temperature should my T-Bird 1 Ghz run at?? Right now, I m getting temps between 38 and 50 ....should I somehow make this cooler? or is it ok?? |

Most of these types of AMD chips seem to run a max temp in the low 50's with the std cpu cooler, you could change the fan for something like a 'Orb' or a 'FOP38-1' the last is better, this comes at the expence of a little more money & noise. The cheapest option is to use a program like 'Cpu Idle' or a program similar to it, it sends halt commands to the cpu which cools the chip as it is not working while idle. In normal use it will cool the chip down quite well, however while playing games your chip will still get hot as there may not be any spare cycles & the cpu is running at 100% |

AMD apparently rates tem range up to 90 deg C. Anything up to mid 50s is fine but lower is always better! Maybe also investigate case cooling. Another 80mm fan can make a difference of 3 - 6 degrees. Make sure cables inside case are not obstructing air flow.
Asus have apparently disabled HALT command support on current A7V bios so apps like CPUidle etc don't work. It may be safe to assume they have done this on some of their other boards also. I have an A7V with bird 900 clocked to 1.05 and Alpha PAL6035 which runs 55 deg with the case side off! |
