Is 143 degrees(F) considered too hot for an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2GHz 512KB Socket 754 CPU?
Hello!
Is this temperature considered too hot for a 80 degrees(F) room and 100+ degrees(F) ASUS A7V333 motherboard's temperature sensor? It is in a mid-tower ATX PC case. You can read the full computer specifications at http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm.../computers.txt (primary box). I wonder if the current fans are not enough. Thank you in advance. -- "We are closer to the ants than to butterflies.

How did you manage to mount a 754 pin Athlon 64 in a Socket A board? Are you sure you know what you're talking about? |

Based on my experience, I would say that is W A A A Y too high! Mine typically runs about 31-32 (88-90F) degrees Celsius, 40-45 (104-113F) under heavy CPU load. 143 F is about 62 C. Make sure your heat sink & fan (HST) are properly mounted with the correct amount of thermal conductive compound, not too much, just enough. OK, this is when I am gaming and something intensive. I guess I better go fix this up. I wondering why DOOM 3 and Half-Life 2 crashes. Even HL2 gives me blue screens! -- "We are closer to the ants than to butterflies.

That's a wee bit warm. Although my environment temp is 72-73'F, and I have an Athlon 64 3500+... typical heat is 104'F on processor, ambient about 99'F inside case. If I overclock the processor, I've seen it get as high as 143'F under normal load, 167'F under duress. --JM |

( ) Way too hot IMHO. Case temp of almost 40C? (BTW, the convention is to report/discuss temps in C, not F). I realize the room is warm, but proper case configuration and cooling should reduce that to within 10F of the room temp. You also need to look at HSF installation/operation, as your CPU temp is high even in relation to your current case temp. Post details of your configuration (fan types and placement, etc.) for more suggestions. |

Last night, it was about 70 degrees(F) and CPU was about 129. I will have to fix this. I wasn't even gaming either. Gaming causes the crashes (e.g., blue screens). Note, I didn't build this computer so I don't know how the fans are placed. -- "We are closer to the ants than to butterflies.

If you're going to post again, give your temperatures in Celsius - not
Fahrenheit!!! |

( ) A couple of things: Many people don't just click on any link provided by an unknown source for many valid reasons. The description you reference mentions: quote ....two 80 mm case fans, a 3 fan HDD Peeze cooler,... /quote Not knowing where the fans are, or how they are configured, this tells me nothing about the cooling system design. Improperly placed fans, or fans moving air in the wrong direction can actually create higher temperatures in your PC. Typically, case fans are installed to draw cool air in at the lower front and exhaust hot air at the rear back My personal experience is that exhausting hot air from around the CPU area is critically important. Can you open the case and see where the fans are and in what direction they are moving air? For comparison to your situation... I have several computers here configured in a LAN in the house. Most use Athlon XP processors running at xp 3200+ speeds. The typical temperatures I see are as follows: Room temperatu 21C. Case temperatu 23 - 28C. CPU temperatu 38 - 44C. I use full tower cases that mount either 2 80mm exhaust fans at the back, just below the PSU or one 120mm exhaust fan, and one 80mm intake at the front. On the athlon XP's I use Vantec VA4-C7040 HSF's. I replaced the motherboard in one of these PC's recently with an Asus A8V and A64 3200+ with retail HSF. It runs cooler than the A7 XP's. You mention that you did not build the computer. If you purchased it, then approach the seller about the obvious cooling issues and unreliability. I assume that you did not purchase it "as is"? |
