Cooling temp question...

G-bonic · 11-29-2005, 07:04 PM

Hi guys im just wonderin if the temp 40-45 Degree Celsius is normal for CPU, and 25-30 for the HDD and 20-23 for the case ?

Amd athlon 3000+ 2.0 Ghz.
ECS 755 motherboard
SATA 250G HD

Thanks in advance i know im noob sorry..

Yeah, those temps are perfectly fine. The cpu is a little warm, but fine, as well as the rest of your temps. If you want cool your cpu even more you can invest in a heatpipe, something like the ones thermalright make are real nice.

CPU temp sounds a bit hot, what HSF are you using?

i have this kind http://shop2.outpost.com/product/436...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG

ya, i to think thats hot for a amd.
to prolong life, invest in a nice heatpipe and try to keep cirrculatiom high in the case.

just opened that link.
it should be lower i think. i have alot more powerfull stuff and i get an easy 28c.
maybe you need new thermal paste?
or is his cpu just naturally hotter?

That CPU temp is fine, and infact is cooler then mine, and i have no worries about mine

thermal paste is a goo or goop between the heatsink and cpu. it transferes heat.
the real good stuff is artic silver

since you cpu temp is a lil high, would o/c it yet.

the temp guage i got has a wire that goes directly between cpu fan and cpu its like a sandwich in the middle i stick the wire rite into the cpu. and its connected to the digital temp guage... theres 3 thin wires one goes to CPU, then the other to HD, and the last one goes to the case wall.

Your not supposed to put the wire between the cpu and heatsink, it "disrupts" the flow of heat and can cause the temp to rise, which may explain it.
