Simple Question: What is the max temp on AMD X2 5000+

I was just wondering what is the highest temperature that I should be comfortable running my CPU at? (Under max load)

I am using speed fan to record my temps.

Currently, I idle at about 39c - 40c and the max that I have let my temps get under full load has been 58c (it was still rising).

AMD Athalon X2 5000+ w/ Stock HSF

I've been searching the forums for a bit and can't seem to find an answer.

Depends on the core

**You're pushing the envelope since the Tmax for the X2 5000+ series CPUs is between 55C-72C

Thanks a bunch for the response.

Looks like I'm gonna have to buy a new HSF and some thermal paste.

Um, what is this so-called 'lapping'?

And, if I get the Ultra-120, how do I attach a fan to it, or will it provide enough cooling w/out a fan?

And...Whats wrong w/ AS5?

I've been looking at Newegg for the ultra-120, and it doesn't show that it comes with a fan.

Is newegg wrong? Or should I buy the HSF from another site?


I didn't know that AS5 was all hype, thanks for that piece of advise.

Well, then I suppose that begs the question, "Which fan do I buy to accompany such an awesome Heatsink?"

Noise isn't really an issue.

well, if noise isn't an issue.......

just go with a set of 5 yate loons for $15 really, get a fan controller, and place them all over the case

while you're at it....

hmm, silenx pretty much, most fans are good you just need to volt mod them, and 5 yate loons for $15 is an amazing deal so go with that

But a volt modded delta would be quiet with tons of air......
