Typical Temps for 64 bit 3500+

[Mr. Mustang]

What are the typical operating temps for this chip? Mine is running at

Idle = 47 C
Active = 55 C

This seems a little on the warm side.

You may want to provide more fans, I have an AMD 64 3200+ running flat
out 100%, 100% of the time running Seti, and mine is at 37C.
I am not sure yours is what would be considered "hot", but it is
hotter than mine.
I have a fan in the front and a fan in the back, 3 hard drives and a
cd drive and a floppy drive.

A bit warmer than my system, but not dangerously so (mine's a 64 bit
3000+), but it's hard to say why. Your CPU manual should tell you what
the upper limits are.

Could be insufficient cooling in your case, or an inadequate CPU cooler,
or poor quality or incorrectly applied thermal tape or paste (paste
preferred), or other things I can't think of at the moment.

What board is it on? If it's an Asus, are you running Cool n' Quiet
(you have to load the drivers, just enabling it in the BIOS won't do
it)? Made a significant difference on my system.

Mine normally runs at about 34c both idle and cool. It ran at closer to
45c before I enabled Cool n' Quiet. I have two fans pulling air in, one
fan pushing air out, if I remember a Thermaltake silent something CPU
cooler, and a double-fan power supply.

Vcore raises CPU temps pretty much.
Do you have the correct VCORE setting?

ADA3500DIK4BI 3500+ 2200MHz 939-Pin O?PGA 1.40V 65º C
ADA3500DEP4AW 3500+ 2200MHz 939-Pin O?PGA 1.50V 70º C
AMD rates K8's max temp as the case temp, not die temp.

K8's normally don't idle that warm at stock settings, unless your room
temp is in the upper 80's(F). 90nm 3500+ don't use much power at idle,
and if you run Cool n Quite the idle temp should only be about a few
degrees higher then the air temp at the cpu fan area. FWIW I've seen
many posts reporting unrealistic temps on K8 boards in the motherboard
forums, see if there is a BIOS update for your board.

Built 3 clawhammers and 1 newcastle (3000+ to 3400+), they all idle
around 35C, load temps (prime95 only) are just under 50C at stock speeds
with room temp around 70F.

One of the features of A64 boards is that the CPU fan can be turned off
below a certain temperature, I've set mine to turn on at 52C. It means
that the idle temperature is higher then it would be if the fan was on all
the time but the system is quieter. Check your BIOS to see what your
system is set at. A loaded temperature of 55C is perfectly safe.
