ckfordy · 07-14-2006, 05:25 PM

I havent go the parts yet but the CPU is in my sig what is to hot of a temp for it and what do they usualy run at for temp wise and ill be using the stock cooler but using arctic silver 5 instead of the thermal pad. the cpu is amd athlon 64 3800+ 2.4ghz socket am2

What would be the highest safest temperature it could go and what would be a reasonable temperature to stay at.

I'd say the low-mid 40's would be the highest safe temp for that CPU.

Well in the BIOS it says anywhere between 22 degrees C to 40 degrees C is that to high. Also what are some good temperature monitor programs to watch the temps of my CPU.

cpu's are fine if they are under 50c, so 22 to 40 is fine.

Try this link and the cpu temp tab.

40C or below is what you want to be at, idealisticly. 45 is OK but warm, 50C is really pushing it and 55C is when it starts to become dangerous.

IIRC, those chips hit thermal shutdown at 65C. Naturally, you shouldn't run them that hot though.

Anything under 50C is generally considered acceptable, although some don't mind pushing it to 55C (after which it's generally considered too hot).

Your temps are fine.
