What's the Maximum Temp that the T-bird can handle ??

[isekii]

I have mine which is hitting like 56 degrees

No set temp

i think you're pretty damn close
~60 or so?

I'm getting worried.. since I used to run it on WBK38 which was a blow dryer..

but now i'm running it with a Taisol..

and the temp seems to higher..

I dont want to burn out my chip..

How long does it usually take for a CPU to burn out.. if the Heatsink isn't mounted properly ??

 

[HardcoreRobot]

It will burnout in a matter of seconds. Search for some threads in gen hard...

90°C according to the AMD techdocs.

56 degrees isn't too bad. I'm running a Duron 600 @ 35°C. As long as you stay below the 80°C you should be ok.

I think that the TBird can take about 90°C. Not sure though.

It's either 90º or 95º C, I'm looking now.

ohh okay..

damn i was getting so worried..

cuz I dont wnat to buy another AMD Chip which I despise

as long as it doesn't burn out on me i'm happy..

is there a software out there.. that lets me view my CPU temp ??

I"m running win2k..

From the AMD tech doc:
90c up to 1.1Ghz and 95c for above 1.1 Ghz

Look Here

Page 33 of the PDF.

The maximum die temperature is specified through
characterization at 90ºC for frequencies up to 1000 MHz, and
95ºC for frequencies 1100 MHz and above.

Thanks for all the information guys..

it averaged out at 53 degrees..

I was scared it was gonna burn out... I smelled something burning ( bbq scent )

I thought it was the CPU ... but I looked out the window.. and downstairs neighbor is having a BBQ
