My new 750 Mhz. Duron is running at around 51-53 celsius, meanwhle my roomates t-bird runs at 33 cesius. should i be concerned at all that it is running this hot? I do have a super orb on it so im not so sure why it is running so hot.
How hot does your Duron run?

Duron 650@900 1.80 volts runs between 33-40 depending on load.
EDIT= this is using a Coolmaster DP5-6H51 heatsink. on a kt7-raid.

A few questions to consider,
1) Do you have case fans installed?
2) Is the air circulation in your case optimal?
3) Did you apply thermal grease on the cpu and hsf the right way?
4) Is the chrome orb properly fitted to the cpu?

That sounds a bit high. D700@900@1.725V@104F(43-44C?). Using coolermaster HS/f. I lapped the HS (Sanded the bottom till flat and smooth as baby butt), dropped 3F. Applied Thermo paste properly (It's a science), dropped 6F, have 5 Case fans.
Well, i have two case fans, one in the front sucking air and one in the back that is supposed to be blowing air out. i think i need to change the one in the back to blow air out, i believe it is backwards. That wouldnt make that much of a difference though would it? I get the temp readings from the sensor under the chip. and i do have thrmal paste on the chip.
yes, that actually would make quite a difference. the idea of putting one fan on the bottom front is to pull in cool air because cool air sinks, and blow the hot air out the top since hot air rises. It ends up making a wind tunnel of sorts that constantly blows cool air over the cpu and other components.

I have a Duron 700 running at 1083MHz on a KT7 (nonRAID) mobo with a Cooler Master DP5-6H11 HSF. CPU temp is 35-41C (idle to full load). See "His Rig" for all the details.
How did you guys get those durons goin so fast? I really dont wont to try to bridge the gaps. The highest i got my 750 up to was 862 through the bus.
Everytime somebody makes these posts I groan. :frown:
If you live in Alaska and it's cold inside then your system will run cooler than say living in warmer Florida.
I live in HK and my "measured" CPU temp varies by as much as 10 degrees thru the year.
The thermistors are also not very accurate, the only way to have an idea if you system is too hot is to run at standard speeds and then record the temps - try this at various times of the year/temps or whether or not you have the heating turned up or the aircon on full blast - these situations will make a huge difference.
Then try running the same situations with your CPU overclocked to see what the difference in temp is.
It is a good idea to know you are running within "spec" of the CPU operating temp - but don't always think you need to achieve the readings some of these guys are getting.
The Duron can run at temps of upto 90C, 50+ is quite normal here in Hong Kong with my friends systems.
Even assuming your system and your friends system are running at the same ambient temperature and he is running at 20C less, all that "might" mean is his thermistor is not in full contact with the CPU or that his is less accurate than yours. Of course maybe your cooling/airflow is not so good?
It could also be that your thermistor is reading too high
There was a lot of chat about this subject back in the C300A @ 450Mhz time.
I ran my overclocked CPU at 300Mhz then 450Mhz - the temperature difference was 1C for any given time of the year - not much to worry about if you ask me.
Also the best way to decrease temperature that I found was to install and extra exhaust fan at the top rear side of the case. That way you are increasing the flow of hopefully "cooler" air thru the system.
One of my friends decreased his measured CPU temp (Duron 700) by 10C by buying a new case! Must have been an airflow problem presumably?

you didn't list your motherboard CockyDaddy... this is not a good thing. If it is the A7V then you'll generally get 10 degrees higher than other people's cpus on their motherboards. The reason behind this is that Asus disabled some settings in their bios that makes it so that the motherboard is generally very stable. Unfortunately this also makes it so that the processor gets around 10 degrees hotter than others.

First of all various motherboards have different configurations on how they identify the CPU temp, so it's useless comparing an Asus A7V to a Abit KT7.
Second, the Super Orb, rather any Orb family of coolers SUCK.
Get ahold of mikewarrior2 and you can ask him for more info(he's the guru here about CPU temps) or you can simply read the links that he has on his sig and it will tell you everything that will probably concern you about CPU temps.
You need good case cooling and thermal paste would help also. My 1.1 Ghz Tbird runs at 53C max on an Asus A7V.
