Can someone post their XP temps with retail heatsink and fan?? I'm using a heatsink called pent-alpha but the temp is about 57c light load. Im thinking this cant be as bad as the retail heatsink/fan.
Retail Xp temperature

Just put together my amd 2000 w/ thermalright sk6 hs and 60mm delta fan? It runs low 50's in dos and 57-60C in windows xp after hours of gaming.
Like you, I wonder if this is normal. I am thinking about reapplying the Arctic silver III, I probably put it on too thick. Also, I am using a Lian Li aluminum case. Is this as good as it gets.

On my Athlon XP 1600+ I am using an Evercool ND-8 which is an OEM heatsink, and get temps under full load of 114f-116f(44C-46C). Your temps seem WAY too high. If you are not experiencing any problems, then dont worry yourself to death about it, but the life of the cpu will be a lot shorter........ Try to cool it down.
it is almost impossible to compare temps because of the variables...mikewarrior can give you all the details...
What is ambient temp??, system temp??
Yes the cpu temps seem high..what mobo are you using?? Asus mobo...asus probe reads temp 8-10c too high...
If the system is stable do not worry too much...if you have a retail chip it has a 3 yr warranty ...Athlon have good temp tolerance...
try here couple utlities on how to low temps at least at cpu idle times.....viahardware.com
there is a website I can not recall off hand that describes how to use them....wpcredit/wpcrset..for kt133/kt266 chipsets

System temp is around 27C and CPU around 57. ABIT KR7A with enermax 350W. Yes my comp is very stable but I will appply some artic alumina today and see how it goes.
Retail 1800+ OCed to 1627MHz with Arctic Silver II and ThermalTake Volcano 7on a Soyo Dragon+ mobo:
System temp: ~25C
Idle temp: 37-38C
Loaded temp: 42-43C
You guys sound real hot!

My xp1700+ overclocked to 2000+ runs 39 idle and 41-2 fl with my HHC-001 Heat Pipe Cooler with a taisol fan. I coudn't stand the delta that was on there stock. If I put the delta back on, im sure that would be lower.
That temperature is terrible! A retail fan should keep it much lower than that.
I'm using a $7 Coolermaster fan, and my Athlon XP is running at 36C right now. Make sure yours doesn't hit 60C. That can be dangerous (instability, permanent damage).

where have you seen 60c is dangerous...that is crap these chips have a temp tolerance beyond that...athlon tbird are rated to like 90C although I would assume long beforethat the system would crash and show instability...
I do agree that 60 C will probably lead to system pproblems when running under heavy load...

Ok, this might sound real weird. I don't know what is the problem. Care to explain?
I have an Athlon XP1600+ on an Abit KR7A-RAID with a Thermalright SK6 heatsink, applied with an Arctic Alumina. MY CPU is not overclocked at all.
Now, my temperature is running as high as 49.50C without any load, just boot into Windows. But as of now, it's at 47C. My system temperature is 36C. I'm using Hardware Doctor and occasionally I check it in the BIOS and it is the same.
Now why is this happening? Is the temperature sensor of the ABit KR7A-RAID unreliable? Or is the heatsink installed uncorrectly?

I have a simmilar setup. Xp 1700, Kr7A-Raid
System: 30
CPU: 42
Try removing the side panel to see if the temp goes down. If it does, then you need some case fans.
OK, well, I already have 6 case fans. All of them top of the class. Some are Sunon fans.
Some to blow in from the front and some to blow out from the back.
Question: Do you blow air into or out of the heatsink?
Another question: Is it then safe to overclock my CPU?
One more question: What is deemed a dangerous (might cause damage) CPU temperature?

into/out blowing on heatsink depends on the heatsink. Thermalright sk6 works better when blowing on the heatsink.
On my XP 1700+ with retail HSF (kept the original thermal pad too), I run 34C idle, 44-46C full load, even after hours of full load. That's at stock speed. Even bumping the proc. to 1507 MHz from 1475 will increase the load temp to near 50C.

argh.... i thoguht someone else had already said it, but jeezo.

You absolutely cannot compare temps across different motherboards. Socket-thermistor readings are inaccurate; Due to this, different motherboard manufacturers implement different socket-thermistor position and different motherboard compensation to "correct" the readings. This correction does not make the reading accurate, but it does make it impossible to cross compare temperatures across different motherboards.
In all actuality, motherboards could very easily have a 20C swing in readings. How then, is it possible to compare temps between a low reading mb to a high reading mb without adding to pure confusion.
And then, there are other issues in this thread: For god's sake, please state your ambient system temp. ZeroIn, your temps are fine. Your high system temp is why your CPU temps are high. Without at least the very base ambient case temps, you cannot compare anything.
Mike
P.S. Please, no j@ck@sses complaining about my post. I left the thread alone for a while, only to return to see people saying that each other's temps were too high or whatnot without first looking at the critical data.

Running a Retail Athlon XP 1900+ o/c'ed to 2000+ right now @ 1.800v with the Retail Heatsink/Fan (the one with the blue fan) on an ABIT KR7A-RAID in an InWin Q500 Full Tower case w/ 1 80mm Sanyo Denki Intake, 1 120mm Sanyo Denki Outtake, and the 2 80mm Enermax PSU fans... Case Temperature is 30C, CPU Temp is 58C with Seti@Home running for over 1 day straight with no stability problems... Waiting for my Alpha 8045 and Arctic Silver 3 to see if I can push this chip closer to 1.8Ghz
I realize the Themsistor on the motherboard is not nearly as accurate as an internal temperature reading from the CPU core, but my old Pentium III 600E oc'ed to 800EB hit temperatures around 65 C when it was under full load, and it never had any problems so I doubt that a 60 C temperature reading is going to spell doom for your processor. If you plan to upgrade in the next 1-2 years, I wouldn't worry about it at all.

uhm...i think i have a very big problem...
i have an alpha hs..with the bigest fan for it....the side of my case is off....i've got a 10inch fan blowing in the side....
and my temps are at
55c (127F) for cpu...and thats just at idle....
it goes up to temps of 131f sometimes...
it has..very small amount of ArcSilv2....
i need some true help with it....
this is an old athlon tbird 1.2g
help..for i crash and burn...

I'm using Alpha 8045U ($50 + shipping@Newegg) on mildly overclocked 1600+ on KR7A/raid mobo.
Idle temps in mid-30s, never seen a temp over 42C under load.
Can't hear the Delta cpu fan above the normal hum of case exhaust and power supply fans.
Great cooler!

i'm using a volcano 7 on a athlon xp 1800+ mildly o/c'd to be a 1900+, i have three case fans (2 at 2000 rpms and 1 antec standard, all 80mm) and my temps are 120f under load (a few hours of max payne) and 106f while idle.
cure = Thermalright sk6(Lap diligently 200,400,600,800,1000,1200,1400,&1600) use flat piece of glass over sand paper to lap it flat. Then, get some artic silver 3 & use that as u'r thermal compound. just curious, is Artic Silver 3 silicone based?

I've managed to bring my system temp to 33C and my CPU is now 39 at idle and up to 43 at load.
Is it at a good temperature now? If so, if I overclock it, at how much a temperature should I allow?
Also, is there a program which I can run that will fully stress the CPU?
