Hi,

After several unexpected reboots of my computer, I installed a system
monitoring tool for monitoring the CPU-temperature. I started it and it
immediately told me that the CPU-temperature was too high. It was about 60
degrees Celsius (equals 140 degrees Fahrenheit).

My system:
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2000+
Mobo: AOpen AK77-8XN
Windows XP SP1
Monitoring tool: AOpen SilentTek Utility V3.12.30 (with default settings)
The system is not overclocked

My question: is 60 degrees Celsius too high for my CPU?

Thanks,

Wim v.d. Kooij

The Athlon CPU's can handle up to 85 degrees Celsius without a
problem, as long as your system is running stable I would not worry
about it. Try using another case fan if it keeps rebooting, you might
have bad air flow in the case. You could always reset the heatsink,
use a good quality paste, like Artic Silver, you will be surprised how
a good case fan can work.

Also some CPU diodes are off a bit, I would check the bios temps, and
compare them to the SilentTek ones. I personally had a Athlon XP 2600
reading in the high 72s to 76s running 24/7 in a desktop ATX case
without any stability problems. In fact the outside of the case was
hot to the touch, that case killed two hardrives, and a power supply.
But the system was stable, the case had a major problem with air flow.
So I RMAed the power supply back to Antec, and am waiting for its
return. I then put the system in another case which has better air
flow, now I am reading in the low 50's, still as stable as before.

It might not hurt to run Memtest86 to see if its not a hardware
problem, bad memory does that sometimes, but your temps looks fine.
