Temperatures

computernoob1 · 06-29-2009, 09:38 PM

I have already posted here concerning the high temps of my CPU and now I want to make sure they are alright.
My CPU temps when idle are 36 C to 41 C, mostly stays around 37 C - 39 C (Core 1) and 27 C to 32 C, mostly stays around 31 C (Core 2) (Don't ask me why there is a huge temperature difference, I have no clue) and when I am in an online game (FPS from 2004 : P) they stay around 47 C to 53 C (Core 1) and 39 C to 45 C (Core 2), and as soon as I come out of oblivion it is at 49 C (Core 1) and 42 C (Core 2).
Are these temperatures okay?
I still have not gotten that CPU fan seeing as my CPU is old and they don't even make my socket anymore and in a year or two I will buy another CPU but I am looking into a case fan but the thing is I don't know how many mm my fan is, can anybody help me with this? : P

In case you are wondering I got my temperatures from Core Temp

EDIT: Or should I not bother with the case fan and just buy another case?
This is the case I have now (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg)

Those temps are fine. My laptop idles in the 50s and is perfectly fine. Nothing to worry about at all.

That's good to hear

Those temps sound pretty good for that CPU I once had an Athlon 64 4000+ the temps would get over 60C. If you could post a pick of your case fan that you are replacing I could most likely tell you the size of it. If its the side window fan your are getting then I'm pretty sure it is a 80mm.

Yeah that's the fan.

temperature fine, experts even say 80c is also general operating temperature under eg. a video encoding application

Fatback · 06-30-2009, 12:39 AM

Yea I'm pretty sure the fan is an 80mm you rarely see side window fans come in any other size.

Okay.
Is there any way to check to be sure though?
I don't want to buy a fan just find out it doesn't fit : P

I don't mean to diss you just to inform you. You haven't looked up any info on your PC have you? A socket 939 is an AM2 socket and it is still very much being made. Also there are tons of CPU fans that will work for your system on Tigerdirect.com. Any AM2 socket will work fine.

I have the http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...p?Sku=ULT40030 and it keeps my AMD Athlon X2 5000+ CPU cores under 80F most of the time.

Of course, I've looked up a lot of info on my computer, but like my username says I'm a computer noob, I only know the basics : P

Okay, do I measure the whole thing, or just the fan? (By the whole thing I mean the chunk of plastic surrounding the fan)
