AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000, to hot? could it be better?

I just have been reading peoples thoughts about their chips. have the same one.

some of them are saying that 70*F is a to hot for being idle.
mine just kinda jumps around to 55 to almost 79.

I am using Core Temp 0.99.3 to monitor the temp.(if it matters)

would an after market fan help keep the temp a little down and run better?

or should i just get a B.A. cpu cooler and Overclock it?

if you have questions or i'm not making sense? just talk to me. i need all kinds of information!!
 
I'm not familiar with Fahrenheit but I converted it to Celsius because I'm bored.

70'F Is pretty cool for stock fan, 79'F (27'c) too considering max temp for your processor is 55-72°C
 
OK. for not knowing how to use it, i tested for 6mins, only thing running was enternet explorer.

not sure what im looking for, if a need to do it again, let me know

70F is not hot at all for a CPU. You're fine.

Orthos won't tell you your load temperatures, it'll only put the load on the CPU. You need to use CoreTemp to read the temps. So, Run Orthos, let it run for about 20 minutes, then see what your temps are.
 
Well you need to check the temps while you're running it.

Get SIW, better than coretemp because it shows current temp, min temp and max temp.

Yeah, Run Orthos for 20 minutes, then check Core Temp to see what your temps are.

That's a good suggestion, at least that way he could walk away from the computer and still know the highest temperature his CPU reached, good suggestion, dude!
 
Ok sweet!

now could i run SIW while playing a game? wouldn't that be a good way to tell as well?
cuz if its not funning hot, then would i be able to start to over clock it a bit? or am i better off getting a much heftier cpu cooler so as not to fry anything?
 
Yeah SIW works while playing a game just dont overclock so much that your pc crashes and you can't check the SIW temps :rolleyes:
 
At first, i thought Orthos failed after 6 minutes. I was like, "turn down the overclocking, dude!"

Haha. But yea, these guys have already done some good suggestions. Temps in C, please...you should be hoping for high CPU temps in the mid-50s or lower.
 
haha no i wont over clock till i get more info on how to. ok im using System Information for Windows. but i can figure it out. , will there be a graph? or just listed under the cpu?

im seeing this as of now, not running anything

CPU Tempratures
Value min max
core#0 6*% 6*% 21*%
core#1 11*% 10*% 24*%


but it looks to me is im the boy shouting WOLF.

ill try doign it again playing far cry later today.
