Hello to you, my "Temperature Gurus".
Important! If you don't have the patience to read all this go to the very end fast as a lightning.
I have now received the Athlon XP 2400+ (Thorton) CPU and the Spire WhisperRock IV CPU cooler that I recently ordered and I have just checked what temperatures I gonna reach with this setup when they are working hard and what I saw was, hmm, kind of worrying.
I will soon give you my temperatures on this combination but first a comparison to my earlier CPU and cooler.
Before I changed the CPU and cooler I used an Athlon XP 1700+ (Palomino) with a GlobalWin FOP 32-1 cooler and my motherboard gave that CPU a Vcore of 1.824. A little too high Vcore since it's meant to only have 1.75 volt, but that's the way Asus build their motherboards.
And when that combination was idle the CPU reached a temp of either 44 or 45 degrees Celsius and the temp in my computer case were always either 25 or 26 degrees Celsius.
When that combination was working really hard my CPU reached a temperature of 51 C.
And now with my new CPU, my motherboard have lowered the Vcore to 1.728 volt but it's still 0.078 volt to much, or almost 5 % too high Vcore, since this CPU is only meant to have 1.65 volt.
Anyway, with this CPU in idle mode I get a temperature of 51 C while the temperature in my computer case still is around 26 degrees C. But those temps don?t bother me that much, what bothers me is the temp this CPU and cooler/fan reach when it's working really hard.
One favourite thing I like to do when I want to know how high the CPU temperature can go when it?s working hard is to make a 192 kbps MP3 of Mike Oldfields Amarok in a program that?s called Cool Edit Pro 1.2. The Amarok track is just over 1 hour long.
When I checked the temperature of my CPU when Cool Edit Pro 1.2 had come to the very end of converting the Amarok.wav file to a MP3 file my CPU had come to an amazingly warm 63 C. That means that the CPU temp had had a rising of 12 C.
I mean a rise of 12 C, when my 1700+ only got a rise of 7 C.
Is that normal for a 2400+ Thorton CPU running at a Vcore of 1.728?
One theory that I got is that I didn't put enough Artic Silver 3 on my new CPU but since I don't want to put to much Artic Silver on my CPU either I thought of that it would be best to ask you first before I do something stupid with my new CPU and cooler.
My system looks like this.

Is my 2400+ normal when my 1700+ behaved like this?
Athlon XP 1700+ (Palomino) with Vcore 1.824 = 44 C in idle mode and 51 C when it's working hard = Rise of 7 C.
Athlon XP 2400+ (Thorton) with Vcore 1.728 = 51 C in idle mode and 63 C when it's working hard = Rise of 12 C.
