Intel182

Ok i just bought this computer with a Pentium 4 3.2 ghz processor in it. and in bios, it says the cpu is 59 C. Is this too high for a cpu temperature? i havent OC'd, everything is stock except for the RAM.

Mr.Suave

use the search function...
are these temps way too high?

but in short no its not too high. especially for pentiums..

No.

No, its not too high, its a bit higher than i would like mine to be if i had that PC, you have to remeber aswell that 59 is ur idle temp, if u start playing lots of CPU intensive games that temp is gonna rise a lot, and you really dont want anything above 65 C ever!!!!

That actually seems pretty high to me. I have a 3.0Ghz P4 and I sometimes idle at 61. This is way too high for me, because when playing games it gets up to 70, and the ASUS Probe starts beeping, and it sucks. But I have a HSF in the mail (should be here today) from newegg. Hopefully that straightens things out.

The P5GD1 has voltage adjusment, maybe drop your vcore down a little, it will probably still fly straight at a 0.025v drop from stock maybe even 0.05v. And this will help it run cooler.

I have ASUS Probe too, it beeps at me telling me my CPU runs ay 80 degrees sometimes, but when I touch the CPU it's cooler than ever, so my advice, dont trust ASUS Probe, trust your hand!

(I know ASUS Probe is wrong because another monitering tool says it's at 29/30 degrees and when I touch it it's cool lol)

First off, I'd say that 59C is a bit high but not necessarily dangerous. A few questions:
1) What CPU is it? A socket 478 Northwood? Prescott? Pentium x40?
2) What is the overall system (as much info as you can provide)?
3) What is your room temp?

I would suggest trying out other temp monitors, such as speedfan or Asus PC Probe, both at idle and at load.

He checked the temperatire in his BIOS. I doubt that the BIOS is going to be wrong...

No, but I'm more curious to know the idle vs load temps.
