seems ok, little warmer than mine, mines only an x2 4000+ (its at 2333mhz currently though, a 233mhz oc) and thats generally like 39c, and gaming is like 58c, so i think it's ok, and the fans dont make a difference where there in, unless they or the mobo supports like fan speed adjustments, which will allow you to in/decrease rpms

well it depends what you were doing at the time and the cooling in the system...

I read somewhere that x2s shouldn't get above 60 celcious. I have a 6000+ amd x2 at 3.0 ghz (it is one lvl below yours) and it idles around 39 celcious and when on load it goes up to 45-50 celcious. It is a bit warmer then it should be but u should probably reapply the thermal compound .

Idle - 20-35C

Load - 40C to 60C

Anything that's over 60C has problems.

i have Q6600 and when gaming get up to around 43c, and thats because the water-cooling system i have, before that it was like 58c! what kind of cooling system do you use?

cohen · 05-05-2008, 09:53 PM

maybe the CPU needs a better fan or the thermal paste needs reapplying...

try to clean the cpu's fan and not only, from dust. This is what many times cost problems like increasing temperature.

Ah AMD...

Buy some Arctic Silver 5 or MX-2, clean out your fan. Turn off Cool n' Quiet or SMART Fan.
