Athlon 750 at 50°C

[julks]

Anybody can say to me if my Athlon (socket A) 750 is running too hot?

I'm using a A7V Rev 1.02 (which don't have the thermal cable, it is built in, just under the CPU...) as motherboard, and an AVC cooler with "thermal grease", it spin at 6400rpm... The ambient temperature is about 22 degrees Ceusius, and the Asus PC Probe is indicating an CPU temperature of 48 degrees Ceusius...

What should be the apropriate temperature in this conditions?

It's a little hot! But anything under 50C is aceptable, I guess.

JSbush and julks,

It may or may not be too hot. Since you're using an A7V, do you know what bios you have? The 1004 And later bios' implement a compensation to help "approximate" core temp. This tends to give a reading a bit warmer than actual core temp, so it certainly isn't too warm.

You may want to improve Case-Cooling a bit, as that should decrease cpu temp a bit.

Mike:

Thank you!

Oh, and I just updated my BIOS to the 1005A version, it's working fine!
