CPU Temperature

[John McCown]

I have a Athlon 64x2 4600+(65) windson AM2,ASUS M2N-E MB,ASUS EN7600GS
video card,and 2G memory. I have the stock heat sink with a 5000 rpm fan
on it with Arctic silver paste. The CPU temperature runs around 36c and
the MB at 34.Room temperature is around 80F. I mainly use Foxfire on
the Inter net. Is this temperature ok
are do I need to get a better heat sink. If so what is a good one to get .
Thanks Johnny

36C is great especially in an 80F room.

Thanks you. I have had so say theirs is like 28c or 30c. But the air
cost to much to run much cooler in the house.

36C sounds like the idle temp, if that's a loaded temperature then it's
even better. Generally you want your loaded temperatures to be in the 50s
or less but the CPU is probably speced to run up to 75C (it could be a
little more or a little less) so you are running at a very comfortable
temp.

Every CPU has a different max temp allowed, you can look up the max temp
for AMD desktop chips here, http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/

I have a AMD64 X2 4000+ and my load temp is currently 23C @ room temp of
76F. At idle it will drop to 18C (or 59F). That is with the stock heat sink
and fan.
