For those that know, is it okay that the temp on my mother board is 97 F (35 C) and the CPU is 93 F (34 C) ?
In other words, are they being properly cooled? I have fans that are blowing inward and outward...seven in all.

From what I know, CPU wise, 34 C is actually very cool, mine normally runs at 43 degrees C. Not too sure on the mother board though.

Those temps are fine for AMD at least... AMD cpu's can run in excess of 50c, although I usually tell people to keep them below 45c for a bit of safety margin. I've tested and my old Athlon 1700xp got flakey at 55c. Intel chips run cooler and to be honest I've never heard of anyone having temp problems with them (although I hear their newest chips are running hot, I think they're feeling the pressure and have pumped the P4 architecture a bit past what they usually like to).
My air cooled xp1700 runs around 40-43c, my liquid cooled xp2400 runs a couple degrees above ambient (whatever that is on any day, typically in the 20's, sometimes low 30's). |

LOL I installed an extra system fan when my cpu went to 45 celsius. Now it's summer and the temperature of the system is just over 30 celsius and cpu around 35. Computer did slow down for me above 40 degrees but it's definitely safe in the 30's

Larry, you be chilling. Older machine? Old school proc?
Newer rigs run HOT, way HOT. My on board temp gauge rises like the debt during the power up, then stabilizes @ 155*F for the CPU, and MB checks in @ 138* F. Intermediate AMDs can exceed 220*F, but should be cooled to NMT 155*F for continious operations. Older "other's" can spike @ 200*F, and should be cooled to NMT 135*F. The newer ones can run close to frying an egg or two, but should be allowed to bake a cake, without ice cream of course. Sub 100*F, is way cool.

 You could probably eliminate some of those fans to cut down the noise level. Take a trip over to the website for your CPU, www.intel.com or www.amd.com and check out the specs for your processor. It will give you the information you need to strike a decent balance between cooling and noise reduction.

I run an AMD XP 64 3200 in a Thermaltake Case (7 fans), Thermaltake 480W PSU with adjustable 2nd Fan, Thermaltake Ram Fan and 3 Double Hard Drive Fans along with the Reserator 1 liquid Cooler. Cpu runs at around 17 - 19c on idle and just under 30c on a hot day with heavy gaming. I don't think I can get it much better than that...heh
Oh yeah the VRM Module has a fan on it too but I don't think they come without one. [ 07-10-2004, 04:44 AM: Message edited by: Bokken ] |

Yup the stats do seem pretty good. Seven fans are going a bit overboard dont you think ? An extra heatsink or two would help as well. Are you overclocking ?
