CPU Temperatures

[ingoman1a]

Hi all,

I'm currently doing some Coursework which involves watercooling, however I need some help.

Basically can you reply to this topic by telling me this about your system:

The CPU you're using, it's normal temperature (**), wether it's overclocked or not, how you've cooled it (air / liquid) and if you're using the factory heatsink (if air cooling)

**meaning when you're not playing any games or such that will cause the processor to work harder

Cheers guys, you will help me out loads!

Here's mine for example:

AMD Athlon 64bit 3000+, 34 degrees C, not OC, air, not default factory heatsink

[Malatory]

AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 32C, Not OC, Air, XP-90 with 92mm Fan (Basement)
AMD Athlon 2500+ , 45C , Not OC, Air, Coolermaster squrrel Cage HS & fan (Others Half - Loft)
AMD Athlon 1Ghz, 43C, Not OC, Air, Factory (Other Half machine - Loft)
AMD Duron 950, 40C, Not OC, Air, UNknown (Kids Machine - Living room)

Intel 2.4B, 34C, Not OC, Air, Factory HS & Fan (Basement)
INtel P3 800, ??, Not OC, Air, Factory
Intel P3 1.3, Unknow, Air, Factory HS and 80mm fan (not in a system right now)

Other machines would include 2 C10 RS/6000 servers, 1 SGI indy OpenGL system, and 2 laptops.

AMD Athlon 2500+ (Barton) , 42C , OCed to 2800, Air, Thermtake Dragon Orb3 Copper/Alum Heat sink

AMD Athlon 64 3500+(venice), 30C, Not OC, stock HSF

[thephreak99]

AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 4400+ Dual-Core Processor / 36 degrees C / not oc / Stock HSF (And this is the best stock HSF I've ever seen/had btw)

[crenn]

AMD Athlon XP 1800+(Unknown core), 60c idle, not oc, Stock HSF(using thermal pad)
AMD Athlon XP 1800+(Unknown core), 43c idle, not oc, Stock HSF(using Artic Silver 5)

Intel P4 2.66GHz 533FSB (Northwood core), 34c idle, not oc, Stock HSF(using thermal pad)
Intel P4 2.66GHz 533FSB (Northwood core), 25c idle, oc to 3.2GHz, CM Hyper 48(using Arctic Silver 5)

[dgrmkrp]

amd athlon thunderbird 1 ghz@1,1ghz, Tt V12@2700rpm, 47c normal(like 70-80% load), 50c 100% load(all day long!).
(btw, these temps seem rather high considering the cooling i offer. but they appeared only after i altered the position of the thermal sensor under the cpu core... basically, it touches the cpu core now, not just hanging in the gap.. so, for you pros out there... is it normal?... before, i had a max of 45c... is it that now the reading is more accurate? or bull i shouldn't trust?)

AMD Athlon 64 4000+ / 31-33 / not OC / stock cooler

edit: today i ducted out from the cpu fan to the exhaust, hasn't improved the core speed i dont think, but now i run 28-31 :-)

[robobot]

Intel Pentium D 830 (3.0 GHz x 2) / 50 C idle / no OC / air cooled -- Tt Big Typhoon + Arctic Silver 5

It would be nice if I had some better case cooling. It gets up to 47 C in there sometimes.
