Re: [suse-amd64] [OT?]CPU temperature. is normal ?
Hi, I don't know if my question is IN- or OFF-topic, but (Alway for the temperature, do you remeber my email?) in my ASUS notebook with suse 9.2 Professional, the AMD64's temperatur cpu processor is from 52 to 58 celsius degree.
Is this normal ?
It's pushing it. I've seen my AMD64 notebook hug that temperature a few times, but that is only when I have it runnung high intense apps with it unplugged or in charging state due to battery heat; running at 100% capacity at all times. You may want to have the cooling system and fan checked out. JD

Hi, I don't know if this applies to all AMD chips, but the last one I had (32 bit) rarely went into 'quiet/idle state' mode (the technical word escapes me) (like the Intel chip does). This is to improve the response time. But this keeps the chip hot. There is software available to put it to sleep, but I only saw a M$ Windows version. But this should not be the cause. But the real issue could be that the heat sink has not been perfectly 'welded'/pasted to the chip - if this is the case then it might pay to return it to the supplier. Don't blow it up! Good luck, Colin

I had a similar issue with my AMD64 when I first started using it. I tried the oh-so-elegant "touch" test (touched the side of the heat sink as close as possible to the CPU (I know, I know). The blister I expected never happened and the inside of the case was pretty cool. Turned out to be a BIOS problem, reading the wrong temp, corrected sometime later by MSI, board manuf. I also have a separate temp sensor that reads temp near CPU without using the board BIOS and this was very different from board reading. I had called AMD about it, (another response to your query), and they simply said that that temp (50-58C under little or no load) was within operating specs. Hmm. Didn't seem to me to be good unless I wanted to cook breakfast really at the computer. So. You might check heat at CPU, if inaccessible in notebook, how hot does the fan exhaust seem? You might then start to see if there is a recent BIOS update to correct this, if it really needs correcting. Just my $.02. Richard
