What are your temps now? How many case fans?

 

[pIII_Man]

keep it at or below 55c...do an immideate shut down at 75-80c

75-80C smells like fried Cpu. Yummy.

 

[pIII_Man]

not really...that is the max safe operating temp of most amd cpus...

Over that...then we get yummy smells

While we are on this topic. I have a p4c at 2.8GHZ w/ a stock intel cooler. The idle temp seams to go up the longer my computer is on. Right now it's at 38. When I boot its at like 31-32. My load temp is always 50-52. So is something wrong or is it normal.

If i ever make you angry of offend you it's you OWN FAULT. Deal with it and leave me alone.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by icanseetime on 09/09/03 10:15 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

normal...think of it this way...when you first start your car engine...it is relitivly cool...with time it heats up to its normal operating temp...

40C is fine.
relax

if thats idle then full load will be an extra 5 to 15C... but even then you are still fine.

P4 2.4C $168 IS7 $109 That should be cheap enough plus performance.

id say its cause your case flow isnt enough to keep it low, cpu temp usually gets as high as its going to get the first 5 min its on.
