CPU Temp Question?

[rasinhussy]

I just built me a system with the following:


Asus A7N8X-DX mobo
AMD 2500+ "Barton"
2x256MB Corsair XMS 2700LL
Zalman CNPS-6000cu Heatsink

I got about eight fans installed total, 2 rear, 2 PS, 2 Front, 1 side, 1 92mm fan for CPU

My question is, when i run Prime95 for hours the CPU temp. never goes over 100 F.

Should i be worried, the AMD CPU's im used to (1.2GHz T-Bird) run about 120F or higher.

Thats about 35C-40C I believe.

Looks good.

Is that a silent cooler?

100F is great for full load. Mine hits 116F after 12 hr prime95 test

if you are using the asus probe program, dont trust it!

install Speedfan and check the REAL diode temp! it's the sensor starting with S

...but if that is your diode temp, good job!!

I consistently stay in the 50's (celsius) with my barton, and that's with no voltage increase and I know I have decent cooling and airflow.

So going over 100F is something to be proud of, not worried!

I'd love to know how some people are keeping their cases in the 20's and their chips in the 30's (C) with air cooling. I've got a 120mm fan in the front, a 120mm fan in the back (along with a 2 fan power supply to help even further), and I know my airflow is good. I also use a Volcano 9, which is not great but certainly adequate.

you shouldn't be worried, your temps are good

whoops...nm, just found it...sorry.

question...how do you get Speedfan? I'd like a temp monitoring program for my MSI k7t turbo2
