hey guys, Hear this and remember this; "Heat is the most silent deadly enemy of your processor". So the cooler you can run your processor the longer it will last because heat breaks down transistors inside the processor. Just my 2 cents, --- Julien Biezemans wrote:

Anyhow, 55�C is too hot for an AMD CPU to be running...

=1.1Ghz Athlon 95�C (Core)

1GHz/1.2GHz Athlon MP 95�C (Core)

So for an Athlon 55�C is quite tame :-)

Mine is running between 55 and 65�C following the room temperature but I don't know who to trust. My vendor says it is ok (we changed the fan once because it was reaching 70�C).. So according to this sheet, the temperature is ok, but where did you get thoses informations?

Yep I got it! But when can I tell me "ok boy, we reached an affordable temperature, just keep it going on at this level and we'll live together for a looooong time?" :) I mean I'm not an hardware fanatic at all and being aware of my processor temperature is something which bugs me, actually. I would like to *fix* and not have to keep being aware of it in the future (well not really, I'm not stupid, I'll always check if everything is ok). So when should I be scared, what's the "critical" level to start thinking about better solutions? (I could install stuffs to get the temperature down to -25�C but it would cost much money, which is not possible too) I know this all is a bit "subjective" but I would like to have experts advice as I don't know much in this domain... Thank you! Ju.

Just my 2 cents,

It's hot here : ambient 40 deg C [ abt 105 deg F] . . . have Case permanently off Box ~ with 12 inch Fan aimed at Mobo, all OK :) { without big fan, my AMD K6/2 cpu suffers phreak_out} -- best wishes --- ____________ sent on Linux ____________
