are my cpu temperature safe enough?

[joseps75]

Hello Guys 🙂 I am new here and I need some of your helpfull input and assurance that the temps will be ok for these boxes. Computer room temp=22*C to 25*C
I am running 5 quad cores computers in distributive computing. All 5 boxes are running 12 to 16 hours daily. MY concern is their running temperatures.
1) P5K-E QUAD Q6600 AVG TEMP=41*C
2) P5K-E QUAD Q6600 AVG TEMP =55*C
3) P5K-V QUAD Q6600 AVG tEMP = 51*C
4) P5Q SE QUAD Q9550 AVG TEMP = 58*C
and my 5th just assemble quad:
5) M3N78-VM Phenom 4x 9750 AVG TEMP =52*C

I identify each by Motherboard and quad cores name. All are running Rosetta@home projects. Been running them for almost 6 months. OS = VISTA and new WIN 7 beta.
I appreciate your input. Thank you very very much.

if those are load temps, you're fine, but I'd take a look at box #1 to figure out what you did better on that one, and apply it to the rest.

Under 65-70C is totally ok for 24/7 dist. computing. Are any of those overclocked?

Your 6600's look great. The 9550 seems a little high for that chip, but it's fine also.

Like zagood stated, what is different from system 1 then the others? Different OC's?

Hello zagood,
My box#1 has ZALMAN CNPS 9700LED HSF, thats why it has lower operating temperature. The other 4 boxes just used the supplied stock HSF.
I am very glad that the responses I got give more assurance that running temp are OK even if it is not ideal. My boxes are never overclocked. And they are set to operate at 85% cpu loads. Maybe later when I have save enough money, I will replace all stock HSF.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL🙂 joseps75

Unless it's there's a specific reason, you may consider switching the Zalman cooler to the Q9550. It's not a big deal, but just a suggestion.

Hello🙂
My #4 box (P5Q SE-Quad 9550 running Temperature has gone down to 45*C
after I added 2 extra case funs. I am happy with it now. I cannot install a Zalman HSF
because the #4 box case is narrow and can not accomodate a taller HSF.
Now the avg temp of all 5 boxes are 51*C and below. after adding more case funs. I am using CoreTemp to get the
average reading for each core.
I am not sure if it is worth upgrading all my HSFs to Zalman since I am not doing any
overclocking and playing highend games. Most of my hardwares installed are basic and
low end, except for the quad cores. Volunteering to do distributed computing with
Rosetta@home since 2006 gives me a High so to speak. I am just a computer hobbiest. Just for the fun of it, I keep upgrading all my mobo and processors and build computers for my grandkids and friends.
Thank you guys 🙂 josep75
