Foo2rama Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 I run an Athalon 800mhz t-bird on a asus a7v mb. Asus provides a utility to measure the heat on the chip and on the mb. Currently my machine runs at about 150C This machine has been running with no problems for over a year and a half. I didn't build this machine myself, Is this normal on a tbird? or is this an artifact from the on chip thermometer. I've got no stability issues, and am currently not over clocked. This machine is used for at least 3 hours a day, and has been on for over 72 hours on numerous occasions. Speed test like MAD ONION's shoe this machine to fall in the upper 80% speed range for machines with identical setups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 either that temp is F not C or your way of getting the temp is WAY off. Your chip would be a not very fast pile of goo seeping through your mobo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 40-50C is normal..... although AMD's are pretty reselient, they can run at like...70-80, but they'll burn out sooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
