Acceptable CPU temperature

**DreamCaster** · 01-04-2002, 02:54 AM

alrighty then, anyone have a clue on what the temperature limit is on an Athlon 1.2 tbird ? I just setup a system for a friend and it's running about 95 degrees F. :?

Something sticks in my head that max temp is around 90+ degrees celcious, so you are in good shape. I will do some looking and see if I can come up with the exact numbers.

Hey DC,
I did a little checking on AMD's website and for the AMD Athlon series they are saying max temp is 70 C . They have a pdf formatted data sheet for the cpu here . Hopefully that will help ya out

coolness

looks like i'm topping out at 38C so she should be fine. Thanks for the info

Hey DC,
Back in the day when I was into overclocking...........err ya yesterday....LOL when I have my AMD 1Ghz running at 1320 running either SETI or Folding@Home it would max at 41C so 38C is doing pretty good, plus ya gotta remeber mine has the watercooling on it so it will run a little cooler. I'm glad that tech sheet helped ya out

My Athlon XP 1600+ chip runs at about 120F. Either because of my 5 hard drives or just because I have a wire mess in there. LOL!

My XP 1600 is running about 114°f Hotter than I want ... I'll have to figure something out !

Cw_strife · 02-10-2002, 02:36 PM

what the heck does ur chip run at? Anywhere up to 140F is acceptable. :p

john80y · 02-10-2002, 02:51 PM

Its not over clocked ..... yet ... so it runs at 1400mhz

Cw_strife · 02-10-2002, 05:37 PM

lol I meant the Pentium II's.

Ohh thought we were discussing the intel chip in a different thread ?

yeah but u mentioned it here, so i'm just saying. You should OC those chips a little and then install XP or even 2000 on it. It would run pretty good I would imagine even if you only made it 500MHz. My old PIII600 runs like a pro on XP.
