54degrees C after 30minites in the BIO's.

After 30minites of running in the bios the tempature reading was a stable 54 and was like that for over 10minites.

Is this a dangourse tempature to boot my computer and run the CPU at full load?


YES I read CPU & OC 101 but it doesn't give any exact numbers to wat are high and low.
 
AMD processors have a string like AXDA2500DKV4D, the "V" is Die temperature and it's 85°C, there are also R=70°C, T=90°C, S=95°C, Q=100°C-for XP-M
 
I'll give you what I know, this is my friends PC

512MB of DDRRAM333 or 400, I wouldn't have let him get 266.
Intel Celeron D(He got the same one I did because it was freeeeeeeee)
Soyo motherbord, same as mine(since it was the cou/omtherbord frys combo deal that was free) i can get the model number if you want.
video card is a MX440 64MB

for cooling:
Don't remember the name of the heatsink/fan but its made for up too P4 3.6Ghz

and he dons't have the side panel on(cuz he doesn't have one hahahahaha), which I guess provides more circulation.

Why is 54°C high? mine's 55°C now

No clue if it was high, but im thinking that is around 120F(correct me if im wrong) which seems high, but this is just in the bios, not like while running lots of stuff in windows.

You could lower the temp by decreasing the Vcore voltage for about -0.2V


Yes but the BIO's is this motherboard suck you cant change anything, the only way i sorta OCed it how it is by changeing a jumpercap


and what you can cahnge it the bios, once it restarts it wont boot just stays nlack and i have to reset it.

higher voltage you can increase FSB more, and FSB increases performance

yes and the FSB is higher, and i made it that way though the jumpercap, It wont let me just change the voltage either, its either the way I have it now, or the normal way, or less then the nomal(800Mhz less, and a FSB of 100)



so is this safe to boot and start my computer normally and play games and all that? Which IS my question, not how to lower it.
 
well yes, i've been playing games when temp was around 70°C-installed thermal paste after 6 months and temp doesn't go over 60°C

I could be wrong, but I thought when you kept the BIOS running at the temperature screen it ran the computer at full load. So after 30 min. of it running you could see what your full load temp was.

I don't know what you are running, but usually a 54C load temp is fine. In fact my load temp is 54C and my computer runs great.
 
there are 2 temperature sensors on a CPU, the socket temp and the on-die temp. The BIOS shows the on-die temp and software temp monitors usually show the socket temp. The socket temp is most always about 8-11oC less than the on-die temp. This is why it seems to be really high in the BIOS. Don't worry about it too much unless it starts getting really hot.
 
I wouldn't worry about it too much, thats not that hot for a intel even not under load. It should be okay. If your really that worryed then put some arctic silver 5 on the hsf or upgrade the hsf. :)
 
are you sure theres Thermal compound under that headsink.?
Yeah. If there wasnt, we'd be seeing higher temps. The temps he's getting is well within expectation for that chip
 
Alrhight well i'll tel;l him its safe to boot running at 3.6Ghz then :) like mine, I wasn't sure if it was alright with his, was ran much lower then that when I did it(I used artic and I had a better fan/hs thouugh.
