Athlon XP 2000+ temp

[tboneuls]

What temperature should my Athlon XP 2000+ be running at? I want it to last and I would like to know if I should get a better heatsink. It usually runs at about 48 - 49, but the weather has been extremely hot lately for the season.

Here are my specs:
Soltek SL-75DRV5
Athlon XP 2000+
Thermaltake 6cu+ heatsink

The XP processors are known to run safely up to 90C.

well, thats what the amd whitepapers say - but i often wonder if letting it actually run that hot is good for its lifespan. personally, i wouldnt be comfotable with anything higher than 55C

I'm running a 2000+ oc'd to 1812 (12.5x145) w/ an 8045 and Panaflo H1A plus 4 case fans (see sig for complete rig info). Temps at full load are typically 51-52C.

i think anything up to 55C-60C is OK, but not great

under 50C would be a comfort level for me personally, but you are definitely ok at 48-49, ive had one up to 58C and it still ran fine (4 hours...not a long time, but long enough)

my xp 1900 is running at 48 c right now, with no load, and about 52.5 c at full tilt. my h/s fan runs at about 2700 rpm, and has 30 cfm of air movement. couple case fans too. not that loud, but not that cool either.

wow i run my xp1900 @ 29C alpha 8045hsf. rises to 31C after spyin on mohaa for a few hours

 

[FlippyBoy]

mste456, what fan do you have on yours?? those temps are great!

FlippyBoy,

31C load on an Athlon chip can't be expected save sub10C case temps or a poor reading socket-thermsitor.

thats what i was thinking......

on my board there is a sensor right under the cpu. the boot dia gives it @ 29C also in sisoft sandra. hehe what fans i'm usin. default fan on the 8045 but i got 2 x 120mm sunon fans gettin in on the action. one blowing right into the side of the hs and the other sat above it suckin the air out through the top of the case.

 

[mste456]

my case temps are @ 25C

i have an xp1800+ and my temps are low 30s mid 30s full load. i have:

Thermaltake Volcano 7+ (set on medium)

Lian Li case with:
4 intake fans (2 x 80mm)(2 x 92mm)
3 exhaust fans (2 x 80mm)(1 x 120mm top)

i modded the case myself drilling holes (1 x 80mm in back)(1 x 120mm up top)

this thing is cooooooool

<< The XP processors are known to run safely up to 90C. >>



is that for real? i'd think at that temp... ur cpu would be in flames
anyway, i was just wondering about temps of an xp2000+ too, becuz mine is reading 49C at reboot. that sound about right?

My XP 1700+ AGOGA 0208 runs 24/24 7/7 from 2 months @ 1800 Mhz (200*9), 1.95volts, akasa s.m.+ sunon ptbx 80cm with funadapter 3, at 64 / 65 C&Acirc;°. Not a single problem. And i'm not concerned at processor's lasting, i will surely change it before the end of the year, so who cares if duration is shortened (i never kept a processor for more then one year )

Note : MoBo is Epox 8K3a, i don't' know how accurate is the temp reading...

 

[mste456]

u got any pci's plugged in @ that spd? i got an 8k3a also and only got stable to round 190 max settings. 512mb corsair xms pc2700.
i'm runnin an athlon 1.4 and an xp1900.
what ram voltage r u runnin @?
