Also make sure any case fans provide a decent air flow through the case, instead of just blowing air back upon itself. It seems an obvious thing, but is therefore often overlooked.

nice winter you have there in north america, with 30°C ;)

only funny that the temperature rises when you play hl2 :|

Re: AMD processors temperature
 

My hlds server with an AMD XP2000 CPU running 24/7
CPU temperature is average 48 °C
Room temperature is about 20 °C to 25 °C depending on the weather.
MoBo temp at 36 °C

I was talking about Celsius degrees...

Re: AMD processors temperature
 

OK - finally my AMD CPU temperature is at 53°C if nothing especially is working (only Mozilla and some not taking CPU's power applications (before it was about 60°C). After playing 30 minut with 15 bots CS1.5 DS and client at the same PC - the temperature reached about 60°C (yesterday I've tryied it was about 73°C !!!). 8D

The noise is now a bit bigger - the fan on the CPU has been replaced (before about 1800 RPM , now about 2600 RPM) and I also've put some little fan at my A340T Leadtek Winfast (FX5200) VGA card (the radiator was hot - almost impossible touch it, so I 've been afraid about it).

Couldn't find the temperaure of the FX5200 - Winfox doesn't show me it, but I'm sure when I had GF2 MX400 - there was some screen with the temperature of chipset. Maybe this card doesn't have it and that's why Winfox doesn't show me it? 9_9

Re: AMD processors temperature
 

i still find it quite hot when its doing nothing... did you place new cooling pasta? I've heard it is really important how you clean, and re-apply it so it makes a perfect connection...

Re: AMD processors temperature
 

Yeah - I cleaned both - stick part of CPU and radiator - then I've put a new cooling pasta. Aftre monting radiator on the CPU I've put on it the new fan. I guess it's good now. ;)

Re: AMD processors temperature
 

Some radiator/fans are designed to lift the air up from your CPU ; others are designed to blow the air down on it. Maybe your fan was spinning backwards.

Personally I've found that forcing the air down works much better anyway.

Re: AMD processors temperature
 

Both my fans - the previous one and the current one - blow the air down - in the radiator/CPU direction. :)

I have a FX 5200... But I don't really think it shows the GPU temp...
