Athlon Processor temperature

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

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

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

I was being sarcastic

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 [email protected]'s a program that search for extraterrestrial and use the 100% of cpu!!

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

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
