coolcat97 Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 It is very hot in my room right now. My Opteron is at 59C and has gone from 50C to 59C in the past hour, i think it will hit the 60s. Whats the max safe temp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMeeD Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I personally wouldnt run it over 65C for very long, but its not going to explode because it got hot for a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 what cpu cooling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat97 Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) what cpu cooling? thought i told you... stock and a new cool master fan. EDIT: and AiBooster says system is at 37C. I do not have a case... it feels very very hot but i don't see 90F or more as a room temp... and my little thermometer says 35C and the thermometer is sitting on my desk with the sensor hanging from the desk. I think my room is in the 100s (F) Edited June 28, 2007 by coolcat97 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 A: coolmaster = stock cooling or worse B: trust no thermal readings from Asus software - check the bios or use 3rd party applications. C: 85c is the thermal breakdown barrier for AMD A64 chips. D: do NOT have an attitude with people when they are asking questions to help. even if you did tell hardnrg what you were using the information posted to the OCC public could lead to others helping you.

coolcat97 Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) terribly sorry, the last thing i want to do is start an argument. I did not mean I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU it was more of a ???thought i told you ??? And a few others say not to use asus soft for temps...was it not designed for the board and therefore is best?

iKillSteal Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 And a few others say not to use asus soft for temps...was it not designed for the board and therefore is best? That's the kind of thinking that'll screw you over. Try using core temp to check your temps in windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 no it's not designed FOR that board. it's generic and only requires an asus bios to load. doesn't mean it isn't a steaming pile of dung and can't tell temps.. for example the rig I'm running right now, A8R32-MVP. FX-60 processor. Asus' thermal reading says 31c... speed fan is at least on the right size of 0c showng a -12c (yes it's phased cooled) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 If you don't know how hot it is turn down the OC until you have a reliable way to telling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 CoreTemp is your friend in general! I was hella scared when my X2 4400+ or both of my 3700+'s for that matter, went above 48 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat97 Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Well, turns out that the core temp is at about + 3-5C above the AiBooster temp. so i was doing about 65 last night lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
