Normal ambient temperature?

[RyanPianesi]

Is 35C a normal ambient temp?

 

[voyagerfan99]

Is your house normally 95 degrees? What ambient temperature are you talking about exactly?

 

[RyanPianesi]

The ambient temp on my computer

The ambient temp on my computer

Do you mean CPU temp, or temperature inside the case? Either way those temps are excellent.

 

[RyanPianesi]

The temp inside the computer case.. But it is also the same for the CPU. So its good?

Also..While your on, is 54C a normal temp for a processor running at 100% usage ?

 

[voyagerfan99]

54 degrees is very good for a processor running at 100%. Depending on the processor, you should generally keep it under 70 degrees.

 

[RyanPianesi]

Your referring to 54C, right?

 

[wolfeking]

yes, the temps for computers is always in Celsius

 

[RyanPianesi]

Wolfeking -- Are the temperatures discussed above sound normal to you?

 

[wolfeking]

they seem absolutely normal to me. Depending on your components, 65-70*C is about the max I would allow. I have gotten hotter on my laptops, but that has caused thermal damage before.

 

[RyanPianesi]

Even the 54C is normal to you? at full load..

 

[RyanPianesi]

And it's a pentium 4 northwood.

 

[voyagerfan99]

Yes 54 degrees is normal at full load - especially those old Northwood P4's.

 

[RyanPianesi]

Well, I had a prescott..and it ran even hotter..it would be like 47 doing web browsing. And then at full load, 54..only becuase when the cpu hits 54, the fan kicks into a higher speed.. which one is better? Precott or northwood? Is there a noticable difference? What temps can the northwood handle?

 

[RyanPianesi]

I replaced the prescott with the northwood..

They both suck in this day and age

But seriously those temps are normal. If you are concerned, look up the max temp for your model of CPU and/or buy a better CPU cooler.
