What tempuratures do you guys run at when in idle and how hot have you gotten your processors to and what application were you running?

I run at 49 - 50 idle and gotten as high as 59 while running oblivion.

oh yeah, and I am running a socket A barton 3200 jfyi

Reply to lordslashstab

46-47 idle, Cool & Quiet, 960 Mhz to 1 Ghz
56-57 maxed, Call Of Duty 2, 2.20 to 2.26 GHz (no OC yet, light bump from C&Q)

77-82 f room temp

A64 X2 4200+ with Arctic Freezer64, Arctic Silver 5

I run 36 idle, 43 max load. at stock, 39 idle and 53 max load when OC'd.

53C (full load, running Folding@Home, 30C room temp)

CPU: Athlon XP 2400+ (2.0 GHz), undervolted to 1.55V (from default 1.65V)

28c idle
37c load -BF2 prime 95 , Fear

AMD 64 3200+ @ 2.4 ghz

but i have a big ass cooler

Reply to uber_g

Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz
35 C idle and around 45 C Prime95, with stock cooler

but

with my new watercooling setup @2.5GHz
32 C idle and about 48 C Prime95

40-50 C depending on the temp outside. I've recently unhooked all of my fans except for my psu fan and the cpu fan which is set to the lowest speed. My case doesnt have sides, and IO panel or a front panel.

my laptop an Asus Z71V:
Pentium M 730 (1.73GHz), 1GB PC4200 Dual Channel, 6600go 128MB (250/500) stock underclocked 8O

CPU:
idle 40C @ 0.98V and 800MHz
Full load 63C @ 1.28V and 1733MHz

GPU:
idle 58C
Full Load ~75C

I think that the GPU isn't conducting heat to the HSF very well because (under load) the air coming out of the GPU fan slot is cooler than the air coming out of the CPU fan slot even though the GPU runs hotter than the CPU.

I'll see about getting numbers for my tower, but the temp sensors on the CPU don't read right on my ECS board. :evil:

45c at idle and 65c at FEAR with 1280x1024 with all the graphics settings to max including SLIx16aa. My whole computer was hot when I was done testing it for around 15 minutes. But Im not too worried about the cpu going too hot as long as it's not over 70c. By the way my system is still on air cooling, still planning to water-cool it as soon as I have the means to buy the h2o-cooling kit.

MB temp always stay under 30C, and CPU (specs in the sig) idle temp fluctuates between 28-32C depending on room temp, otherwise on 100% load it goes upto 42C stable. Cooled with a Zalman CNPS9500 with Arctic Cooling MX-1 Thermal Compound.

I thought this was a good read on temps:

Legit Reviews - Core Temp Exams

Legit Bottom Line: The core temperatures that we "monitor" are inaccurate and are nothing more than a mathematical equation that varies due to the fact that board & I/O chip venders don't use the same equation!

Basically the test is on 2 same processors, namely a northy and prescott. They are used on different MBs, with the same voltage, same cooling (HSF).

Abit and Asus can be as far apart on temps as much as 14C. So, I hope people don't take accuracy too seriously.

Its one thing to know what your temps are, then switching to another HSF and seeing the difference. But to compare it to other MB brands... is kind of pointless, unless perhaps it is the same brand MB.

48-50 idle
76-79 load

i use the stock cooler and am overclocked (on stock voltages)
i'm hoping to get a TT Big Typhoon this summer (no availablity in my region)
oh, and please don't mention how much those temps suck, i have re-seated my proc. from before when it used to reach 90c and thermal protection... uhhh.... protects

BTW, you guys all have nice temps

Reply to ara

My system is under 100% load 24/7 (two instances of Folding@Home) so I can't tell you what the idle temp would be, probably between 38 and 42.

For those who can't see sigs or are just too lazy to scroll down :

X2 3800+ (Manchester core, IHS removed) @ 2.85GHz (9 x 317) on 1.57V, watercooled to a cozy 48C using a Danger Den TDX block, MCP655 pump and a Chevy '86 heatercore.

AMD Athlon 64 FX60

I'm idling at 45C (113 F). Playing demanding 3D games, I usually max out around 58C (136 F).

Here in AZ it gets to be 113 F outside and occasionally higher, so these temps don't seem all that
high to me as idle temp is really just outside air temp.

Room temps run 77 - 83 F (25-28 C)

Uber G what cooler is that your using? It looks a hell of alot like my Artic Freezer Pro 7 that fits a Socket 775. I love the cooler, but I thought the AMD version looked different.

Reply to Scarchunk

depending on room temp i can idel at 28-30*C and max at39 to 42*C max is when running a game and f@h.
