CPU temperatures

[khny83]

I was just wondering if there was a web page out there that gave a run down of normal operating temperatures of various processors. I am just trying to figure out whether certain temperatures would be too high or not. I would need the information more for Intel processors. I checked out the Intel site and found Thermal temps on the processors. Is this the max temperature it can operate at? Thanks for the help.

well, my prescott 3ghz idles at 35 with a zalman cu cooler, and that is well below its normal operating temperature.

Tell us what you are running in your PC and we'll give you a general idea of the temps you should be getting.

Oh yea, and I've read that Prescott P4's can go to ~85C max. Personally anything over ~75C would worry me though.

The computer that I am working on right now is an Intel Celeron 1.7GHZ socket 478. When I check with the BIOS it says its running around 60C. Thats after I updating windows and a restart. I just reseated the processor and applied a new dab of Arctic Silver 5. Its also on the stock cooling fan and heatsink. Is this a normal temp?

I'm loading at 54C. Then again, system temps are 43C damn you summer!. Thats the stock A64 cooler at about 1.616vcore.

Is that on a 18nm core or are those just willies? Then 60 should sound about right. The bios isnt always the most accurate, in terms of an avg temp. During startup, according to the bios, my cpu is at about 40C. When I'm in windows surfing the web it drops to 33-35C. Youll need a temp monitoring app like everest home addition.

Give this a look. Not sure what you mean by normal. Normal for two users with the same brand\model of CPU would be different due to the HS, voltage, stock or OC'd, fans and many other variables. While the link above doesn't show normal, or end user temps, it does show the max for MANY cpu's which may or may not be of any help but it's all I had bookmarked. Naturally you want to stay as far below the max as possible since the max is usually the kill point.

*NOTE* The case temp as their chart states is "the maximum temperature allowable as measured on the exterior of the processor package."
