I have a question which I hope you could help me out. Well, I using a AMD T'bird 800 MHz processor and it is running at a temperature of 57C - 60C (ambient/room temp = 28C). Is this range good? What is the ideal temperature range? I'm using a Taisol CPU fan. Thanks in advance. PS: If you don't mind, please state your CPU temperature in your reply. Thanks :)

I have been told that the CPU temp can go up as high as 80C with no problems. They told me when I bought my mother board that there is a warning device on it that if the temp gets too high it will warn you in some manner. I don't know if this is true or not. I have not had anything like that happen to me yet. I only run an AMD-K6-2/350MHZ but push it with 320mb of ram. I have a standard CPU fan on it and a front bay hard drive fan(3 fans). My CPU temp is: 48C/118F My Motherboard temp is: 38C/100F I hope this information was of some help to you, as it is apparent no one else has taken the time to try and give you any information.

I am running the amd thunderbird 900mhz. I have scanned the internet to find temperature ranges and found this: 30-40c Too cool 40-50c Great 50-60c Good enough 60+c Find more cooling Mine runs at 45+ depending on the room temperature but not over 48c so far. I added an extra fan on the back that blows into the case through the card slots which lowered the temperature about 3c. It is a 110v fan so it takes nothing away from my computer power supply. Fortunately I didn't have all the slots taken up with cards. The fan i am using takes up 3 slots. I plan to cut a hole in the side of the case so that the added fan will blow directly onto the cpu. I am using the mbprobe program to monitor everything and it works great. I do not plan to overclock. I just wanted the cpu to run in an "ideal" setting.

Too cool??????

My CPU temp is 38 and System is 25. Doesn't usually vary much from this. ----------------------------------- Athlon 750@840mhz 256mb ram 20gb Maxtor ATA66@7200rpm Riva TNT2Ultra 32mb WinME (without the woollies)

Hi Quote Well, I using a AMD T'bird 800 MHz processor and it is running at a temperature of 57C - 60C (ambient/room temp = 28C). Is this range good? End Quote Are those temps under full load? If that is just under normal usage I would have to say that more cooling is needed. The Taisol fan is supposed to be pretty good, what are you using for case ventilation?
