I have an Athlon xp 2200+ and is heating near 115 °F and my Chassis is at 100°F. Several guys told me that my processor was overheating and I'm worried about that. Is my processor overheating a lot and what's the max temp it can handle? I wanna hear somebody's Athlon temperature to know what's normal and what's not

[gokuss4]

what kind of cpu fan do you have?

[sogetsu2k1]

CPU fan: the one that was in the box with the processor

[Eagle]

Mines running at 115 degrees now and if mine overheats my motherboard shuts the system down so it must be fine. I have extreme cooling too and its still 115 degrees. Athlons run hotter than Intels, its normal.

[Eagle]

Notice the threshold is up in the 180 range.

[Redah]

Lol, if 115 F is about 47C, you got a nice cool CPU, many people can't manage to keep a 2200+ that cool :)

So you have absolutely -nothing- to worry about d00d. An AthlonXP kan go upto 90 degrees Celcius where it will crash and burn within a minute. So if you shut it down at 80 degrees no harm done.

But seriously, 115 Farenheit is nothing.

Whoa, lol, mine's running at around 75 C

Let me guess, your running an Intel or a pre Athlon XP AMD.

[sogetsu2k1]

Thanx guys, so, can I overclock this Athlon? How much?

[Eagle]

You can, I wouldnt recommend it.

[RJA]

I couldn't even get my AMD Athlon T-bird 1.3 ghz below 113F
and would be at 127F average.

And as I'm posting, PC Cillin just went bonkers with a SYN Flooding attack report, whatever that is.

Well, as stated in the sig, it's a amd athlon 1.4 ghz (not xp).

[UltraThing]

My XP1700+ goes as high as 55c (130F) under load ... the alternative is a fan that makes the PC sound like a Boeing 747. I've never had a CPU related problem.

[Olger901]

LOL my athlon XP goes to 30 Degrees (in Celcius) My AMD cooling was also the prob. Now I got Watercooling and the prob is solved

Water cooling ? Not a smartest solution - what if your water pump gonna die ? CPU overheats within seconds - Pschhhhh !!!!

[Olger901]

Next to the Water Cooling System there Is another simple cooling system. I dont know i tought the name was IronOpper Cooling Fan.

[Olger901]

BTW forgot to tell I blew up 18 PC's 2 days ago :D:D:D My mom mad since my room totally smells like smoke :P

[Doomulation]

I really don't trust water cooling...if anything goes wrong, your whole cpu will wither away...:sleepy:

[Eagle]

How do you blow 18 PCs at once?! Kinda an expensive mistake :o

[Olger901]

Well.... :innocent: I and 2 of my mates were just lets say we were drunk and We were at a building which used old pc's which they wanted to dump and replace with new ones which we were busy with late in the evening (and it got out of control). All old like 286, 386 etc. And we put them in my room since we didnt know what to do with them and the next day when I woke up I didn't know what to do with em. So I just blew em up :P

and my room still stinks like hell :P

[Eagle]

Jeez, define "Blew them up". Did you or overheat them or just get some C4 and literally blow them up.

[Olger901]

Well overclocking. Putting the PC on and removing the cooling fan and all that sorts of stuff we were still a bit drunk in the moring:P

BTW: Also not a good Idea to use C4 in your own room :P

I was being sarcastic ;) :P

[StonedConker]

LOL when i saw the 130 temperature i thought it means 130C but this is for europe i guess.Anyway mine is an athlonXP1800(recently!!)and it keeps on 45C(i think i'll start worry cause it's low temp :) ).If someone wants to test how the cpu can handle should download the seti@home.It's a program that search for extraterrestrial and use the 100% of cpu!!

haha, reviving an old thread lol

even though the Athlon 1.4ghz (thunderbird) dissipates to most heat (~74W) out of all the other AMD's, you STILL shouldn't be running that high - get it down to at least 55-60C at max. load if possible.

my Athlon XP 2000+ rarely exceeds 45C at max. load (running Folding@Home), and MB temp. rarely gets above 32 - using a CoolerMaster ATM.

most of the time, your cpu temp shouldn't really be more than 20 degrees celsius higher than your mb temp.

solution for overclocking/overclocker: buy a Pentium 4 if you can't keep that Athlon cooled effectively - flood of SNDS and SADS has passed around unfortunately
