| 741002 | 2009-01-22 03:01:00 | my CPU Is getting a little too hot for my liking. Just wondering is 55+ degrees too hot for an Athlon 3800+ (orleans). Thanks ;) | dian77 (13936) | ||
| 741003 | 2009-01-22 04:06:00 | Is the reading the same in the bios? Does it normally run cooler than that? Is that under load or at idle? |

| 741004 | 2009-01-22 07:01:00 | It varies ofcourse, but I wouldnt consider that hot. My Athlon64 3200 seems happy up to 85° according to asusprobe. | pkm (13527) | ||
| 741005 | 2009-01-22 20:39:00 | Is the reading the same in the bios? Does it normally run cooler than that? Is that under load or at idle? 1.Well when I turned it on this morning my cpu was at about 40 degrees. ( I checked in the bios) 2. Not Sure, I never had a problem with the cpu so I didn't really check temps. 3. My computer had been turned on for about 20 minutes when I took that screenshot. I'm pretty sure the cpu usage was just spiking. It varies ofcourse, but I wouldnt consider that hot. My Athlon64 3200 seems happy up to 85° according to asusprobe. Wow, 85 Is very very hot. How long have you had your 3200 for? |

| 741006 | 2009-01-22 21:07:00 | I would expect around 40 at idle & around 60 under load. Anything over 70 getting a bit hot & that's celcius not fahrenheit. |

| 741007 | 2009-01-23 01:27:00 | In my experience 55C is just fine for that model of processor; the later dual processors from AMD with AMD heatsink and fan usually run slightly cooler, so comparisons are not always what they seem to indicate. Early Thunderbirds and Semprons could run 65C in normal use and sometimes set off the warning alarms during heavy useage. |

| 741008 | 2009-01-27 07:37:00 | Factor in the ambient (room) temperature. If the room is 10 degrees warmer than usual (ie, summer!) then the contents of your computer will likely be roughly 10 degrees warmer. All the cooling is based on a simple temperature gradient, and the efficiency of the cooling is directly related to how cool (or hot) the room is. In my opinion, 55 degrees for a CPU is nothing to be concerned about. |

| 741009 | 2009-01-27 10:55:00 | +1 for Driftwoods comments, seem to be pretty much bang on what mine sits at. Paul.Cov is right though, temperatures get hotter / cooler during different seasons. Wouldnt worry about 55 degrees, nothing too major :) |
