Celeron 2600 MHZ at Temp 77 C ????

[Kenny S]

My celeron 2600 MHZ is working at 77 C....

I just installed a program that tells me this...

the case, PSU and processor fans are working...

is this normal? Can It be fried??

HELP!

Sorry my mistake... this program I was using was counting something else on
another meter... The Bios says its 46 C....

So its ok

No, it's not normal. That would be about peak for a Celeron before you had
some serious issues IIRC. It's been ages since I've hung out in the
overclocker type forums but that's pretty hot. I'd get a second opinion from
another application. I don't suppose you smell an ozone type smell and have
problems with constant reboots? The max temp for the CPU that you have in
your PC is 67 - 77 C and running at the upper limits would be generally
considered a bad idea. Was the CPU doing something intensive at the time?
Were you running a benchmark or a burn-in? Had you just finished one a few
seconds before?

Well, that's a good thing. It means you'll actually have to use your frying
pan to make a couple of eggs instead. FYI - If your CPU was that hot then
you'd probably have known about it.
