Are my temps too high?

[DrumminBoy]

CPU (Thunderbird 950): 52C/125F
System: 34C/93F

I unplugged 2 of my fans to cut down on noise, and my temps went up quite a bit. Are they too high, or will I be ok?

I am assuming those are idle temps. You might want to check the CPU temp under full load for a while, see how hot it gets.

Pft, that's fine. The Tbird is good until well up in the 80's.

detecting temps constantly is like constantly OC your CPU/video card just to get a few points higher in 3Dmarks or whatever

if it freezes/slow down, then worry about the temperature. if it runs smoothly, there is nothing to worry about

Ditto.

Your temps are fine.

Tbirds run hot anyway, so that's fine. You have less noise and a warmer room for the winter

LOL

That is very true, my server in my 12'x10' workshop is a 2200+ at 2146Mhz (13.5x159) and it works better than any heater through the colder months.

My 12x12 Comp room with
--------------------------------
P4 3.18G
P4 2.53G
AMD 1.3 @ 1.77G

Is thw warmest room in the house year round, sometimes i have to open the windows in the winter to let some cool air in

As for the temps 52C is a little high, but i wouldn't worry about it. My AthlonXP (Pali) runs 50C at load, My P4 3.18 runs 52C at load. If you get stability problems then i would worry about it
