Gondor Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Hey all, any of you running an Athlon ThunderBird 1.2GHz... If so, I'd like to know what temp yours is running at... I know they are supposed to run hot, but mine is running at a constant 48-52 degrees Celsius... does that seem too warm? Let me know what you all think... I have an AMD certified Taisol HSF and a 92mm intake on the front of the case and 1 60mm 2 40mm and a 20mm exhaust fan on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman155 Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Is that under heavy load or at idle? I think TBirds can handle boiling temps (100 C) not sure though. Go to tweak3d.net and ask or search on the forums there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 The TBird can handle High temps up to 100°C in spec but there are a few better HSF that will keep the temp around 35°C - 40°C http://www4.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q4/001211/index.html Swiftech MC370-0A was the best out of this pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gondor Posted January 17, 2001 Author Share Posted January 17, 2001 it runs about 49 degrees on average (but I have Seti@Home always runnin in the background)... when I am playin games and stuff it gets around 52, havent seen higher yet... Are you serious that the TBird can handle temps that high? maybe its time for me to overclock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 I read that it is spec'd to but I wouldn't push it - I think it is like the max or something (like redlinning a car for long periods - not good) Even 50 is a lot of heat to deal with and the more you have the harder it is to get rid of. The cooler the CPU is the better it will run (and more stable) - If I were you, I'd get a better HSF and get that temp down before doing anything. ALso, make sure you have good airflow thru the case.
