CPU temperature

Hi, I have a Athlon 1900 XP processor (not overclocked) and was wondering if
someone could tell me if the following temperatures are reasonable.

CPU Temperatu 52 C
Mainboard: 41 C

The core voltage is +1.73V, is this normal? Some CPU temperature monitor
programs seem to regard this as being too high. Its a 300W PSU.

Thanks
Andrew

That is reasonable, although I wouldn't let it creep too much higher. Take
into account the ambient temperature of the room it's in, as well as the
humidity level and go from there. A hot humid room may cause it to run
hotter than a cold dry one.

The temp is fine, but the voltage is too high if it's Thoroughbred,
but fine if a Palomino. Since the default for a Palomino is 1.75V, it
seems pretty likely to be a Palomino.

Thanks. I dont know if my motherboard is Thoroughbred or Palamino. Its a
Shuttle AK35GTR motherboard. Could you tell me which one?

Hi,

I started to monitor my system temperature after some ?trouble?.

A few days ago my system was shutting down all of a sudden, after the first
time I realized that there was a strange smell hanging around.
Just an half hour later I rebooted without any problem so I thought this was
just an occasional situation.
The day after the same situation occur and I noticed that my case was quite
warm on the top near the power unit.
Finally after the 3rd time the power unit stopped working completely.

The power unit was only 230W and is about 5y old so I simply replaced it by
a 350W.

Now I noticed that the cpu temperature is 58°C and and 42°C for the system;
I'm using the motherboard facturer's monitoring tool.
The cpu is a AMD 1800+ with a silent cooler and was working without any
problems for about 8 months

Are these temperatures normal or what could be the reason for it?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

The temps are a bit on the high-side, but considering that you're
using a "silent" cooler that's to be expected. If the cooler is
actually described by the manufacturer as "silent" or "quiet", then
this is where the problem lies... a good silent cooler isn't one
described as such, which typically means it just includes a low-RPM
fan, but rather a decent silent cooler is one known to be very high
performance (with a high RPM fan) but which instead has a lower RPM
fan on it. In this way you get the far larger weight and surface area
of metal that allows a low-RPM fan to achieve the most cooling per db
noise.

Since you system temp, at 42C, is also a bit on the high-side compared
to average, you might consider increasing chassis airflow, adding
another fan or two. A decrease in system temp should also decrease
the CPU temp, though if your motherboard uses an onboard, in-socket
temp sensor instead of reading the temp from the CPU's on-die diode
then minor variations may not be as evendent in the temp readings, but
are occuring nonetheless. A fan in the bottom front of the case will
often change the system temp reading more than one (or another) in the
top rear, but this is mearly due to the placement of the sensor itself
rather than actual air temp. If you don't already have an = 80mm
exhaust fan behind the CPU, on the rear case wall, that should be the
first fan to add as per AMD guidelines.

If the system is stable (which it likey is, from a heat perspective,
unless the CPU is highly overclocked) you could instead ignore those
temp readings and be content, but make sure other components like the
video card and hard drive(s), CDRW, etc, are remaining cool enough.
