Post your cpu temps!

[FictiousWill]

Poll is in Celsius!

This isn't a help thread, I just thought it would be mildly interesting to see a spread of cpu temps. It would also give those with insane custom cooling setups to show off. It might also provide some real data for those who want to know if their temps are normal.

Of course cpu temp vary when under load or not. Should probably pick an average or something. I'll try to choose sensible ranges for the poll.

Again, this is not for ultra-scientific data collection. Just post your nearest average cpu temp, jeez!

I applaud you, you just took boredom to a whole new level :cheers:

is it safe for a pentium 3 to be up around 91?? (yes, that IS celcius!)

It should be safe up until about 746º C. At which point, it will blow up. Shrapnel will hit you in the eye and you will scream bloody murder.

BTW, 91 is extremely high (aka not safe for the processor) :|

*<RJMC> touch PC*
my PC is cold

 

[blahblahblah]

Let me think about that one for a second.

It is hot enough to burn small woodland creatures and children. And it can be used to cook hotdogs.

Yep, I think it is a tad to hot.

 

[FictiousWill]

I promise you won't get hurt by a 91 degree C pentium 3. Unless you touch it, or it falls on you in a heavy case from a high shelf or something...

And hooray for boredom... and stock cooling!


edit: ummm RJMC, it's cpu temp, not your PC case or room or something. You really in the 0 to 10 range?

 

[Asus]

My CPU temp. is 34C, I voted wrong though.

Cool&Quiet works so well, even when OCed.
Stock heatsink is cool to the touch.

My old bios readings were up in the 50's and I knew they were too high. Updated the bios on the new board and they fixed the readings.

My T-bird 1.4GHz is another story. CPU temp is around 45C at idle but it is in a warmer room too I guess.

 

[evil^milk]

What would be the ideal temp for a 2.4 Pentium processor?

 

[Letters]

This is the guy who was, up until a few days ago, running his processor at 1/3 of its maximum speed... so I'll be DAMNED if I know how to check the ****ing temperature!

 

[Yuri]

How... do you get this information... I don't have a thermometer for computers. :|

 

[Asus]

Quite often the manufacture who makes your mainboard has a program on their website that will tell you.
There are a number software applications out there that can read the temp sensors.
Even Si Sandra can read the sensors, I believe.

 

[gh0st]

try a program called motherboard moniter. i use it, accurate as hell.

 

[waedoe]

66c playing DOD WOOO

 

[Moto]

CPU: 35 degrees Celcius
HDD: 35 degrees Celcius

When I play Far Cry:
CPU:45-60

 

[craig]

2500+ running idle (ish) @ 2500+ (no overclocking) at 42 degrees centigrade.

How can you tell? Do you cook eggs on it?

 

[<RJMC>]

my PC is cold
the only part were I feel some of heat is in the litle fan in the back
but my PC is cold

 

[Jack_Karverboy]

I overclocked to 2.2 Ghz and it blew up!! Im using my bros comp

 

[ZeeM]

A friend called me a few minutes ago. He said that he checked the cpu temp and it was 106C! (no its not amd`s)

 

[simmo]

AMD 2400+ 41 to 50

wow, most of us are in the "41 to 50" range...that makes me feel alot better

 

[bliink]

I had a feeling 91 was too hot... must be the broken fan anyway.. i'm not too concerned, unless it burns through the bottom of the computer and desk and lands on my lap...

 

[CyberSh33p]

... you're talking fahrenheit, right?

 

[bliink]

... you're talking fahrenheit, right?

nope :cheers: did i do something wrong??

 

[ScopeD]

I got 70 to 80 celsius ratings, I have an AMD 1900+ with Zalmann's heating system. I've tried everything to lower the temp but no luck so far. I think that my case may be the cause.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

well it was about room temperature last time I checked...but the computer wasn't on so I would guess its probably in that 41 to 50 range.

 

[oD1Nz]

My 2600+ Thoroughbred B is currently running @ 39ºC, thanks to my CoolerMaster X-Dream running at 3000RPM. I should point out that my case has two 80mm outtakes, and both are filled by aluminum fans, which act as two awesome extra heatsinks.

 

[Kyorisu]

Duron 1.3 50-55
Athlon 2000+ 35-40 ($12 dollar heatsink+fan)
Intel 1.7ghz overclocked to 2ghz 30-35

 

[FictiousWill]

Could somebody explain to RJMC about cpu temp monitors vs. putting one's hand behind one's computer exhaust?

 

[sHm0zY]

HOW DO I CHECK MY TEMP... ehh

 

[Asus]

Try Speedfan, scroll down to the blue bar that says 'Download'.
It is pretty simple to use.

You don't want your CPU temp. to be above 80C, but below. Most don't like it over 60 or 70C but it won't be unstable at those temps.

 

[Tinneth]

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ running at 59/60C idle and about 64 under load.

I downloaded SpeedFan and I am running it now. I take it that Temp2 is my CPU (56C).

 

[SLH]

A simple way of telling whether your CPU is too hot.

1) Remove computer case

2) Crack an egg onto CPU (you may have to rotate computer to do this)

3) If after 3 minutes the egg is cooked enough to eat, then your CPU is probably too hot.

 

[Maxi]

I'd call that a simple way to break your computer.

If you're that computer-ilitterate (sp?) then i don't think you have a computer worth saving.

 

[Maxi]

Well, considering that I had about a pint of water in my computer for over a year and it's still not broke, I think I know a bit about computers.

 

[Sai]

mine's 44 degrees celcius, so i'm in the norm

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you personally, i ment if 'one' didn't know about their computer then...... :cheers:

 

[[Matt]]

i have a 2600+ overclocked from 1910MHz to 2376MHz (3200+ is 2.2GHz) which runs at 45c idle and 52c under load

 

[Someone]

3200+ at 42c right now and perhaps 50c under load. On a hot summer day (with no AC going) it will hit 50 idle and no more than 60 under load.

I had a Vantec Tornado on it which ran normally between 35-39c idle, but that thing was LOUUUUD...I couldn't even use the computer without using headphones.
