It's in a large tower case with 5 case fans, and it has a GeForce 7800 right under it. At full load/full speed for several hours, I've never seen it go over 157F (mumble mumble 70C). (Room temp ~80F) At no load/1GHz, I've seen it as low as 90F(32C). (Room temp ~60F) Right now, it's right around 110F(43C) in a ~75F room. I try to keep my room temp around 70, and my usual no load temp is right around the 108F mark, and the usual sustained full load temp is around 150F. The temps you are getting look pretty reasonable. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks for any help Paul It's been a funky night, and I'm about to anounce myself to this list because it's new for me, and this not having anything to do with you at all, I think this list has been full of B.S. lately and hard to join I'm running an amd64 3500 at 2.2ghz and I don't think I compiled my kernel with support for temperature. If your compiles aren't failing and sed/gcc or anything that deals with floating point numbers isn't failing, you're not too hot or too overclocked or, as my dumb donkey thinks, not overclocked enough. cheers, jbooth -- This message has been sent using kmail with gentoo linux -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

That's not quite true Jason. You can have a chip running hot enough it's introducing errors into the computations but not crashing apps. Try a Prime95 torture test and see what I mean. It calculates Mersenne Primes and under the torture test trys to recompute a number of mersenne primes. Because it's testing against a known good value, it's able to detect if any of the math calculations are unstable due to heat. And yes I do overclock. :P Running an Athlon XPm 2500+ @ 2.5GHz(stock: 1.8GHz). Temps never crack 40c on air cooling and the rig is rock solid. -Andrew -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

For anybody who has an Athlon 64 3500 - What temps are you showing. I run an Athlon 64 3400 with cool and queit, my processor slows down to 800MHz while idle and the temp is around 32C. Under full load it gets to 38C ~ 42C depending on room temperature. IIRC when I first built this rig, I had a similar problem where the CPU never cooled down. After a bit of research I determined I may have used too much thermal paste between the CPU and heat sink. After removing the old paste and reapplying a very very thin coat my system seems to run cooler. In the dead of winter I have seen the CPU idle as low as 28C (mind you my ambient room temp in the winter is about 17C). -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
