AMD processors temperature

[KWo]

Can someone tell me what is the normal temperature for working AMD processor? I have AMD 2400XP (real frequence is 2000MHz , but AMD calls it in the name as 2400) and I use some utility ASUS Probe for my motherboard Asus A7V600 and it tells me it's 62°C and I'm afraid it might be a bit too high. The cooler placed at the radiator on that processor is working very silent, but maybe because of this it's not cooling my processor like it should do it and maybe I need to replace it by the new one with higher efficiency (means -> more noisy).

i think 62 degrees is a bit too high yes.

Perhaps replace it. My 3200+ runs at worst about 45 degrees, and thats on a hot day after running for a couple of days straight.


Normally on a good day its about 38 degrees, maybe.

Depends on modification of proc (low voltage or not). Check the string with blahblah2400blah on proc itself. The final two letters (they should be after the 2400) in it.

62 degrees is normal for non-LV.
LV is mod primarly made for mobile systems (notebooks, pocket pc's) that was ported to PC version of crystal. Uses less voltage and thus radiates less heat.

I have an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (1.7 GHz), and it's currently running @ 55ºC (AsusProbe). But I have the air conditioner on, anyway...

62°C is in the high end, but still nothing serious. AMD processors have a die temperature at around 95 degrees.

The amount of emitted noise have very little to do with how good it is a cooling your cpu.

Btw. I have had my Athlon XP at 89°C! I had mounted the cooler a little wrong when building my comp, so when I checked the temp in bois just 20 secs after booting, it was that high! Damn it went fast to cut the power

I have never had any troubles with it since though. It's a 3200 running around ~45 degrees under load. Thats with good chassis cooling, cooling paste and a good cooler.

my amd 64 3200+ i think is somewhere right above 50°C

my p4 is currently at 41°C at full usage of 'folding at home' ...

95 degrees? I know for a fact that the AMD in my WoodPuter (c)(r)(tm) dies at 75.

If you want good cooling and low noise, get a big CPU fan. The bigger the fan, the slower you can make it spin for the same result. I have a 12-cm fan over my CPU, it's the only fan in the box, and it makes less noise than everything.

I think he's confusing Fahrenheit and Celsius.
well summertime it's usually around 40°C.
winter time around 30°C.
and when I run HL2 for a long time 50°C.
