How hot do Athlon 1.4ghz runs?

[Sniper82]

I think its Tbird. Idle it runs in the 50's celcius and under load it runs it the 60's.

Thats not too suprising, these chips are hot.
Just make sure the heatsink is good on it, otherwise u gonna let the smoke out 😛

"Correct on all points. 1400TB's are pretty hot cpu's. The last one I put together I added a copper core AMD XP 2500-3200 HS/Fan with Arctic Silver 5 Thermal paste. The cpu runs under load around 45C, idle 39C."

From some other forum --^. Thats with a very good heatsink that the other forum guys got so, 50-60 for yours is fine, obviously in the 40's would be better but you've got nothing to worry about. Those chips are rated at up to 90*C so its fine unless youre having stability problems or somthing.

They'll run pretty frigging hot 🙁

My Thunderbird 1.4 ghz once hit 72C at load. Yowza!

Once? My chip's pulling 72 C quite often as of late. 70 C is pretty average for it though.

Hehe, my 1.2GHz T-Bird hit 67C yesterday on load in a game - idled around 58C after coming out of the game! 🙂

I only noticed it once. It usually ran at 64-66C but it started getting pretty toasty before I gave it away to a hapless n00b who had no working computer.

The chip dissipates around 70W's maximum. How hot it runs depends on your cooling. It's very easy to cool it down real nice using modern cooling solutions.

UPDATE: Mine got up to 68C!!!! getting warmer!! 😀

The temp as indicated in the BIOS says my Thunderbird (stock clock air-cooled) idles at about 42. The highest temp I have seen on it is about 54 though that was running tests to push the limits.

Yours seems real hot to me. Maybe your cooler is lame.

my t-bird 1.2c@1.4 used to run at 44c idle 51c full load, damn that was a good heater...I mean chip😀
