| 369268 | 2005-07-04 09:22:00 | I currently have a Soltek SL-KT400-C/KT400-A4C motherboard and a AMD Athlon XP, 1833 MHz (11 x 167) 2500+ cpu. According to "Everest Home Edition" my cpu temp is about 43 °C (109 °F) when idle. I have a Igloo 2460 fan on it. Just wondering what temp should the cpu be running at? ANd also what should Motherboard and hdd temps be around? Thanks as always. M. |

| 369269 | 2005-07-04 09:33:00 | its all relative to one another. room temp effects case temps which effect cpu temps. case temp wants to be kept down to within 5 degrees of room temp. also keeping case temp down to under 40 degrees makes the hardrives etc last so much longer. |

According to "Everest Home Edition" my cpu temp is about 43 °C (109 °F) when idle. M. Thats OK. However do you play games? That can cause it to go up a LOT. I persobally don't like to see my CPU go higher than say 49, but its rated to 85 degrees. Not that you'd want it to get that high... www.amd.com |

| 369271 | 2005-07-04 11:11:00 | Your temp is fine. Here (139.95.253.213 j(1224)) is some info, a while ago I read there that most of the socket A barton chips idle at 60. I know my 3200 did. |

| 369273 | 2005-07-04 21:39:00 | MAybe they did idle at those temps. I have had both a 2000+ And a 2700+ but which were around 51. Not being happy with that I changed the stock cooler for a better one. Likewise with my 3500+ now. |

| 369274 | 2005-07-05 00:00:00 | Great thanks for the info.... I don't play any graphic intensive games, just mainly a fair bit of audio editing and general day to day surfing etc... I have been looking at adding a case fan to the front and back of my machine to help pass air through the case. But I might pass on that idea if these temps are ok. Thanks again for all the help!

But I might pass on that idea if these temps are ok. so what was the case and hardrive temps? i would fill the rear fan locations with fans. don't worry about the front ones unless they are really needed. |
