I have an Athlon XP 2700+ processor, and it idles at about 40 C, and sits at about 50 C to 55 C when under full load. It's running the stock cooling, but I'm still wondering if that's a bit high for this CPU. My brother's Athlon 64 3200 idles at 25 C, and goes no higher than 32 C under full load. Granted, he has liquid cooling, but it still seems like my CPU should be running cooler than this. I've applied Arctic Silver 5, and the airflow in the case is fine. Can anyone tell me about what my temperature should be? This just seems too high for my liking.
You cant compare temps for A64s (with that is) to an AthlonXP ... AthlonXPs are much hotter
