Questions on AMD Athlon 64 X2 3200+ 939 CPU temperature limits...
Hello,
What are the warning and peak temperatures for retail AMD Athlon 64 X2 3200+ 939 CPUs with their regular stock fans? According to http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...docs/30430.pdf .... 140 F degrees is the warning start and 158 degrees(F)/70 degrees(C) is the danger peak. Am I reading the data specifications correctly? This is assuming not overclocking either, but do have stress moments like when playing intensive games. Thank you in advance. -- "What, like I had to live with all those ants? Do you know what I did to those ants? HoooHooo! No more ants!" --unknown /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phillip (Ant) @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links (AQFL): http://aqfl.net \ _ / Remove ANT from e-mail address: NT ( ) or Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer. |

Are you sure you don't mean X2 3800? Regardless, the maximum safe temperature has nothing to do with overclocking. Max is max. I have an X2 3800 running at 2.4 GHz here with the stock HSF. It runs in the range 38 - 52C (never over 52C, even in stress tests). I'd say, make sure it never exceeds 60C. You should be able to stay under 60 with the stock HSF unless you have serious heat/airflow problems in your case. |

OOPS! I meant to say 4600+. That is what I get for posting at 3 AM! [grin]

Try installing speedfan http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php which will display temperatures for your processor etc. Start it running using the graph page (which gives you temp vs time) and then start your games running or run a stress test like Prime95 http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm which will serously thrash your PC. You can monitor the temps and see what your max temperature actually is - I imagine it will be way, way below 70c. If it isn't, you may want to think about reseating your HSF or adding case fans to help with air circulation. Glennbo |

I have seen it go up to 148 degrees(F)/64.4 degrees(C) [when CPU fan is not spinning or spinning very low -- this is normal I believe since this is automatically controlled] and then usually the stock CPU fan kicks in to cool it down (can go up to 6K RPM) down to 120ish degrees(F). I am trying to customize my CMOS (spin at to only spin up but not at 6K all the time. 6K is very LOUD and noisy. I am OK if it is like 3K, but over 4K is a bit noisy. I was wondering if hitting 150 degrees(F)/66 degrees(C) is a bit too close/much and yet my machine has been stable so far. I just don't like the fan spinning at the maximum to be loud. My hardware setup can be found he http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm.../computers.txt (primary machine). FYI, system case fan is always spinning almost 6K RPM (not loud/noisy at all), video card is set to spin all the time, moptherboard sensors usually show mid 90s or low 100s degrees(F). My small room can be hot as 85 degrees(F)/29.4 degrees(C). -- "When I was five years old, I saw an insect that had been eaten by ants and of which nothing remained except the shell.

And that was when I was playing C&C3 game last Sunday evening. The weather hasn't reached over 100(F) degrees yet to make my room even hotter. I have had no crashes, blue screens, and anything odd so far. I wished this CPU fan was quieter at high speed. -- "It is not enough to be industrious; so are the ants.
