Athlon T-Bird Temps?

[EglsFly]

I have a 1.2GHz Athlon DDR (266) with a Cooler Master DP5-6H11 heatsink/fan.
I am seeing 40 degrees Celsius temps.

What is normal and what is good?

With the retail HSF temps are in the low 50's, most every after market HSF will drop temps into mid 40's with the good ones into the 30's. This all depends, of course, on the ambient (room) temperature and your case cooling solution. You should have no problems if you keep it under 65C

Best of Luck

Cooling is everything, for example, cool master's are cheap heatsinks if you got one that was a tad better you will see a good drop and of course, if you have thermal compound.

I have a 1.4GHz TBird that runs at 1.5GHz hitting 59C on a room temp of 29C.

ouch... that is a tad bit hot..

My 1133 T-bird temps 40C using Aplha PAL6035

162DBSystem,

Not necessarily. AMD temps are dependant on the motheboard and almost only on hte motherboard. Some motheboards compensate teh socket-thermistor reading up, so if he has a combination of a hot-reading motherboard and warmer case/ambient room temp then 59C would be acceptable for him.

I have found out that according to AMD, Socket A max temp is 95 degrees celsius for a 1.1GHz or higher processor.

That is alot higher than I expected.

unfortunately, there's no way to measure DIE temp on a t-bird....

I have used that heatsink on a stock 1ghz Athlon and was pleasantly surprised with the temps. If your planning on overclocking, you could put a fan with more air on it, but if you are seeing 40's your probably ok.

I am running a AMD Athlon 1ghz and seeing 50-55c temps with a room temp of 70-85 degrees runs fine but wish it was a little cooler. I am using a Mini Super Orb Fan I need to upgrade but not sure which one for my hot room.
