What sort of temp range should they be running?? normally


Cause i bought a mag today saw how i could check the temp at start up and after 2 hours of being on it was running at 83c

Took the comp apart and found the heatsink completly filled up with dust

I have now cleaned it up

 

Mines running at 40.c, which is well good. 83 is way to high, whas it running at now u cleaned it up?

 

CPU: 32 degrees (AMD Athlon XP2600+)
Motherboard: 15 degrees

What CPU is it? If that's not an AMD, I'm surprised it didn't pop at a temperature that high!

 

m8 the cpu is a P4 2.8ghz...

 

 

My AMD Xp3200 usually runs around the 42 degrees mark, doesn't really change much under load and with the system on 24 / 7

You're very lucky that didn't go pop. Tony Turbo's P4 chip went pop a while back as a result of heatsink / fan failure. Burnt a hole through the chip

 

I just checked my temps in the bios:

CPU Temp: 43 Degrees C / 109 F
System Temp 28 Degrees C / 82 F

That about right ? Seem's to not budge more than that under load

 

That's fine then m8

 

Mine sits nicely at:

Idle:

CPU: 32 Degrees C
Mobo: 18 Degrees C

Load:

CPU: 38 Degrees C
Mobo: 22 Degrees C

Bit of a weird cooling method, at the moment, though, until I get the new case......case-side removed, 12" deskfan directed inside the case, and regular clean-outs with a "dust-buster" compressed-air canister!

I thought that too m8, until Tony's did

 

CPU 33c under load
System 22c Constant
HDD 30c Constant

P4 3.0ghz, Maximum recommended Temp is 65c i do believe, anything more than that and it starts to throttle down like xpackcapri said!

MY AMD chip is set to do that at 65

 

well shes fine now
running at 42c

 

Keep an eye on your heatsink from now on!

 

How do you check?

Mine's with a program that came with my motherboard, called Asus Probe......it monitors quite a few things, like CPU temperature, motherboard ambient temperature, fan speeds, voltage-stability, memory usage, hard-drive usage, and so on.

 

Also from the bios

I though't that was the case Which in turn means my system should be cooler than I first thought

 

I have a Dell Optiplex GX270 P4 2.8 - how do I check CPU temp?

Mine was reading 55C under load and idles at around 43C
