Common Temps....

ToggleHead · TWEAKGURU Joined: 03 Mar 2004 Posts: 4360 Location: Jersey

Inspired by a common misconception, I think starting a thread for everyone to post up the temps they have acheived with their systems. This thread is focused on the many people out there who are new to tweaking, or just new to computers in general and have a question about temps.

P4 cpu: 50 deg Celcius is a good Max. ceiling
AMD cpu: 65 deg Celcius is a good Max. ceiling (from what i know)

these temps are what i consider to be the absolute MAX ever reached safely. Optimally you would want your system to run as cold as possible, there is no such thing as too cold when it comes to Computer temps.......just watch out for moisture. So all of you thinking of putting your whole box in the fridge.....BAD idea.....=]

My temps:
CPU:
idle: 28-30
load: 45-47

MB:
idle: 26-28
load: 30 .......ALWAYS

Hope this helps you all

you also need to take into account the ambient temps as well.

I have four systems to report

1 my main rig see sig below
cpu idle 28-30c load 34-36c
mobo idle 28-29c load 29-30c

2 3.0c asus p4c800 dlx watercooled
cpu idle 28-30c load 34-35c
mobo idle 28-29c load 29-30c

3 3.0c Abit IC-7 MAX3 aircooled
cpu idle 36-38c load 45-48c
mobo idle 30-31 load 33-34c

4 2.53b in a shuttle box with the SiS chipset.
cpu idle 44-48c load 54-57c
mobo 36-38c

all of these are P4 systems running with an ambient of 24-27c

how can i check my temps during a load? i can see the temps using Aida32, but i don't know what's considered "load" ... my idle is:

Cpu: 38 - 40c
Mobo: 28 - 31c

hmmm somehow im not too sure about my own temps... finally oc'd tho :-) temps are:
50ºC cpu
37ºC case

however, even at stock speeds, cpu was around 44~52 (max) and case was 33ish ... sooo who knows maybe its just my mobo, and im all set there

CPU= 27-29 idle 44-46 load
Case= 23- 27
MB= 27- 30

and scoth, download CPU-Z and run Prime95 to run the computer at load. Then open CPU-Z and read after prime 95 has been running 5-10 minutes.

65C is pretty hot for an AMD. That would greatly reduce its lifespan. I would say that 55C is a good ceiling.

my temps: 1st pc
45C load CPU
30C load mobo/case
27C idle CPU
19C idle mobo/case

2nd pc
52C Load CPU
35C load case/mobo
45C idle CPU
30 C idle case/mobo

Very good topic TH!

I would also say that 65C is a bit too hot and that its best to stick around 55C max...good post TH. My temps are:

IDLE

CPU = 38-40C
Mobo = 25-28C (somehow)

Load

CPU = 44-48C
Mobo = 30-33C

remember to add the info of what type of hardware the temps are for. That way other with the same as you can get some idea of where they stand.

Damn, that is one of the warmest Intels' I have ever seen. I hope they can take it with the new cores.
