I have an A7N8X-X with an AMD 2500 barton boxed and I reach 30°C wth the MB
and 53°C with thew CPU. Is it OK? How much are the max temp?
Thanks

That is toooo much, unless u do live in the inferno!!! ))occurance.

I'm thinking of buying that board, how do you like it and where did you get
it.

Harry said:Really? What should I expect? I have a Zalman 6000Cu heatsink and MBM
reports the diode as 64C after a 100% CPU task and the room temp is
25C....

Ignore that, the temps are fine, unless you're a hardcore cooling
maniac. The latest Athlon XP (Barton) are supposed to function in
temps up to 85°C, and the older ones up to 90°C.
If you get 64°C in summer, you're cool.

The case has 2 80mm exhaust fans at the rear. Their is one 120mm fanTotally don't, and I'm not a hardware cooling maniac, I do simply use AMD
fan in a good case on a safe room on an smart overclocked CPU!
If Harry get so high temperature, it means he do have some BASIC cooling
problems, like CPU cooler with dust, not well fixed, and/or his case have
bad design, there is no hair flow inside it, and so on.
at the front blowing to the case. The PSU has 2 fans that push
the air out of the case too.
The CPU was OEM so I dont have an AMD Heatsink. But I did install aCheck the correct direction of the air flow, like Aldo Suggest.
Also double check volgage (is your CPU maybe overvolted?), have u applyed
a thin layer of CPU paste between your cooler and the cpu? Are u sure
there is no space between the die of the CPU and your cooler? The voltage is correct.
If u do have a original AMD fan, please try it. THis things are cheap but
they are engineered by AMD especially for AMD processors and in my
experience they work great.
I never ever bought another vendor fan becouse I always find AMD is the
best!
Then, I do subscribe everything Aldo said.
U have to check the problem if u don't want a not stable and soon died
system :-((((((
I will open the case and see if the temps are reduced to sensibleI confirm. Unless the roomtemp is 45 °C you shouldn't reach 64 °C on the CPU
die diode.
As a rule of thumb, with a good cooling (and/or an open case if needed), the
__ difference __ between the ambiance and the die temp shouldn't exceed 20
°C.
Last night the room temp was 23C and the CPU was at 54C idle and 59CA CPU temp without giving the room temp is useless. Except versus the temp
ratings (ie. 85°C) for the safe operating area.
That is what I do at the moment. At the bottom front of the case IThe greater the difference, the better. OTOH, cycling the die over a great
amplitude isn't good as well. It induces fatigue inside the die soldering or
gluing.
Review your PC internal cooling. I guess in your case, the chipset reaches
more than 60 °C on the heatsink. Place a thermocouple and see ! This means
probably around +75°C on its die. Moreover if the airflow inside the case
isn't correct, the CPU is warmed by the chipset, warming the chipset in
turn. Endless loop leading to a very long stabilization when the CPU use
decrease from 100% to a fraction.
Open a hole close to the CPU in the rear panel, suck warm air from this hole
and inject fresh air in front of the chipset/CPU through the side panel.
Yes the front 120mm fan blows across the HDDs.In addition, are you sure you aren't blowing the hot air coming from the
hard disks onto the chipset and the CPU ?
Much as I would love to reduce the temperatures, I would like to avoidI optimized the cooling in my computer using a large sheet of cardboard with
a fan mounted on it. I moved this sheet in front of the disks, the CPU, the
chipset and the middle of the board. The best place is just in front of both
of CPU & chipset. The CPU temp decreased of 10°C, the chipset temp fell down
of 22 °C !
I will try the side panel off my PC tonight and see what the tempsNow, the side panel is open, the 120 mm fan is operational (dunno the speed
but low because silent).
CPU is 46 / 49 °C (idle / full load), room temp is +27°C, Socket is +37°C,
MoBo is +32 °C, IDE disk is +27°C, SCSI disk is +38°C (placed on the top of
the case where the cooling isn't optimized yet).
The PSU does suck the air out of the case so that one thing that OK IThese temp are reported by MBM5 and +/- 2 to 3 °C accurate.
Don't forget the acuracy of the measurements when you say the CPU is 64 °C
it could be 69 °C !!!!! depending on the means you're using.
The PSU fan should such air from the top of the processor, blowing it
outside. Obviously you have hot spots inside the case.
