Thunderbird....burn in..and average temp

[xnami]

whats up...just built a thunderbird system and wanted to know if i have to burn it in...if so what and where can i get software to burn it in..also what are the average temp's for a thunderbird....mine is running at 135F..seems high..MY PIII 866 @ 923 tops out at 91F...so it seems the thunderbird is running hot...
Thanks for the help...

sys: 900 mhz thunderbird, amd heavy duty heat sink and fan
asus a7v mobo,mushkin pc 150 ram
ibm 20gb 7200 rpm,ata 100 hd

T-bird run hotter then PIII so 119 is just fine. So like I said your temps are fine so Crank the badboy up and do some overclocking. I would start out with setting your FSB to 105 your ram will handle that easy and your clock to 9.5 and bump your voltage up to 1.875 that will take you up to 997mhz good luck and have fun............

My TBird 900 runs at about 97 F.

Mine is at 115 F under heavy load, with a 1200 MHz rated ordinary OEM hsf. Voltage is 1.85 (but VIA HW monitor says 1.90). Very stable, even when I ran it at 125 F at the same voltage/speed with a cheapo <800 MHz rated heatsink.

There are major problems comparing temps on Socket A platforms, which include at least the following problems.

a) thermistor placement
b) bios revision
c) compression of temp changes
d) general inaccuracies of the socket-thermistor measurement
e) ambient case temp

AMD chips are real heat-&quot;furnaces&quot;. At 1ghz, 1.8V, you're looking at roughly 60W of heat. Even on a top notch heatsink like a Pal, FOP, Hedghog, you're looking at getting CORE temps of at least 20C over ambient. But since the mb's don't read core temp, but rather an under, cold side cpu temp reading, they are highly variable, and unpredictably inaccurate.
