temps

[Fyshawk]

I have a friend who has a xp 1800 and his temps are running at 49 °C (120 °F) for cpu --and 30 °C (86 °F) for mobo it that high or is it normal he is going to be installing a 9800 pro inwhich will generate more heat should he keep an eye on the temps help would be apprecated thank you

i get up to 55 load on my barton core...and its clocked about 170Mhz more. and my 9800pro is upped a bit too. almost at XT speeds. so no it shouldn't be a worry. As long as things are stable. altho i don't know the recommended temp for those processors, mines Barton core. totally difff

Those temps are fine - palomino based K7s run hot.

yes those temps are fine, Im running a AMD 2100+ and it runs about the same temp, if he is really concerned about the temps, he can remove the heatsink put some Arctic Silver 5 on the cpu also if he has room to add another case fan or 2 and that will help cool things down. Also cable managment is very important also. Make sure his cable are nice and neat and out of the way of airflow.

hmm my barton pc only has 1 fan, out-take, and idel it runs about 32, and when in gaming it hits peaks at 50!! and i have a 9800xt in it so dont worrie!!! just had more fans or mabey get a new hs?

Temps are fine, my XP 2000+ was running around that range before.

I wouldn't start worring unless you start going past the 60 degree mark and even then it's not going to kill the processor, it has a max die temp of 85 or 90 degrees

if you are that serious about cooling be safe add sum fans and or wire management and or new cpu hs!
