Athlon and heat (again)

Hello all,
First time poster so excuse me if this has been covered somewhere.

I was reviewing the article about the AMD meltdown and the insane tempertures the Athlon CPU achieves when the HSF was removed. I was more curious as to how cool (or hot) an Athlon (1200mhz 266FSB) should run with the HSF attached. I'm worried if my system is running to hot. I have some software (Sandra) that gives me a temp reading while the machine is up and running and I can get a reading from the BIOS. The article showed an Athlon running at ~90 degrees. I am nowhere near that cool. What is an average running temp for Athlon systems? 125? 150?

Hoping to avoid a meltdown,
Kazar

Kazarr if you want to avoid a meltdown....amdmeltdown that is, you shouldnt title your posts so provacativly. ;-)

As for temps if it dosent lock up its fine.

if it runs cooler with the side off, its a sign of poor case ventilition.
Hmm, I wonder what would happen if we removed amdmeltdowns heatsink? Hopefully a meltdown lol what a good idea


Next time you wave - use all your fingers

Dude, remember that your Athlon is slowly cooking it self, it is no difference than one which burns up in a second, every day you boot up-you are walking on thin ice!(you wish!)

no matter how reassuring the AMD fanatics are to you, you will never know when your cpu will meltdown and they don't give a rats a$$ when it does, they'll call you an idiot.

"<b>AMD/VIA!</b>...you are <i>still</i> the weakest link, good bye!"

shut up you ass

Meltdown,

Don't fall to FUGGER's level. That statement is a bit exagerated. Any facts to prove that? My Tbird averages 42c 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. My 3 Intel machines average 38c over the same period.

Slowly burning to death? Your cognitive abilities, perhaps.
