<div class="IPBDescription">What should it be?</div> I have a P4 2.4ghz cpu and it's currently running at about 95 far. It's gotten up to around 106-108 before, is that bad? I've never used Pentium until this new computer, so I dont know whats good or bad for pentium <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    are we talking Celcius or Fahrenheit.

    If that's celcsius, than you are royally screwed

    far. = Fahrenheit, from what I posted.

    So yes, it's fahrenheit...

    From what i saw 106°F=41°C, it is ok for a CPU to run that hot. When it is hotter than 60°C, you have big problems. all brands of CPU i have seen so far, melt at around 80°C.

    Nope. My CPU has a max die temp of 90°C, and was often running at 100-104°C while operating the Steam platform, until I got a better fan to cool it. It's now running aroun 40-60°C, depending on the workload. I'm using the CPU right now, on the computer used to type this message.

    AMD Athlon 1500 XP

    104°C?!?!?!?!??! Mine runs at 30°C, overclocked to 3.8GHz... You could cook on that processor dude... I get all panicky when my old comp goes up to 45°C... yikes. Under full load my P4 3.8GHz gets up to 35, normally its about 22. Gotta love a 30cm diamater fan in the back of the case and having one hell of a CPU fan (they're almost silent too).

    Current stats:
    CPU: 30°C (86°F)
    MB: 30°C (86°F)
    CPU Fan: 2596 RPM
    PSU Fan: 1473 RPM
    Chassis Fan 1: 1201 RPM
    Chassis Fan 2: 1198 RPM
    Video Card: 42°C

    On my old comp the CPU fan routinely runs at 4900 RPM just to keep the thing under 40°C. If you don't have any chassis fans... I suggest getting some. The bigger the better since they move more air and can run at a lower speed (meaning less noise). The loudest thing in my system is the fan on my radeon. I built another identical system (cept with a fan-less radeon 9200) for somebody else and you can't hear it when its on unless you open up the case and stick your head inside (not recommended btw <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->).

    Don't worry, if your CPU gets too hot, it'll auto-shutdown. At least, for P4s it does.

    There is a setting in BIOS which will auto-shutdown your computer if the core reaches the temperature specified by you.

    70 degrees Celsius is what you want to stay below.

    The cooler your CPU, the better. P4's start downclocking at 75 degrees i believe, and AMD's start blowing up at 80 degrees <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    generally, if you're not overclocking, and the computer is in a moderately-cool room (around room temperature), you won't have any trouble staying under 60 degrees C. My P4 2.4 never went above 55, even when i was doing processor-intensive stuff like re-encoding movies or gaming.

    I read somewhere that CPU's are the hottest good you have in your home hotter than an iron per square inch

    I feel for the amd guy.. my sisters lap top using an AMD is over heating at the moment and randomally shuts down. YAY!!!... Mine in my desktop runs I think around 30 or 35.. we had a post about this a while ago. It isn't overclocked though, which could make a difference.

    Man I try to avoid overheating in my computer as much as possible. Then again it shows, I have 5 fans when counted all together, 2 of which are pretty unnecesary. But then I've suffered at the hands of flawed hardware that couldn't take the heat with some older computers.

    Probably best not to let your computer reach high temperatures, even if it is designed to take it.

    You have to consider that the probe information given by your mobo is 60% of the time wrong. It really depands on where you put the probe, of many thermal paste was applied, where the probe was applied etc,etc ... Most modern motherboard add up to 10°C to the temperature applied. Try to compare the temperature given by your mobo with one externel thermometer near the CPU at start.

    I was using Aida32. It did get down to 80 at times, but overall it was always in the 90 area. Your link only shows that there's a good chance my CPU was actually running <i>hotter</i>.

    My computer usually hard-locked whenever it got too hot. I found that sticking a fan on the open case and turning it on made it run after that. If it wasn't for the computer locking up due to poor CPU performance, I imagine my CPU probably would have fried itself away, since AMDs don't have the heat protection like a P4 does.

    I don't think the temperature was off too much, because my CPU now runs in the mid 40's, which is quite under the maximum temp, but isn't so cool that it suggests something wrong with the CPU temp sensor.

    Mine almost never drops below 60C. Right now it's at 66C.
