CPU Temperature????

My CPU temperature is at 56 C is that optimum Temp or is that to high.....?

Thanks

 

the central processing unit
the main bit!

 

IS it an athlon? Celeron? Duron? Pentium 4?

 

rofl. u r a newbie.

Processor as in Pentium, Opteron, Xeon, Transmeta?????

What pro-cess-or do u have??? Right click My Computer on desktop if u have XP

 

That made my day. LMAO!!
Pulsar

PS, that temp sounds OK

 

i have a P4 and windows XP!

 

sort of high..considering i am running a celeron 2.4 non d and i have it overclocked to 3.2 ghz lol.. i use arctic silver 5 thermal paste and the standard intel fan. I have one 80mm fan in the case... i get close to athlon xp 3200 perfromance roughly

 

You cant really go wrong with Arctic Silver.. U dont need a lot if u use it. Roughtly the size of a grain of rice is all u need. A little goes a long way. Too much and it has the opposite effect.

If u have the stock Intel fan on the processor then u are ok. you can do a lot better by buying a new fan. There are loads of different designs, but only a few that actually make a big difference.

It can be quite a nightmare replaceing your heatsink/fan if you dont know what yore doing. 1 slip could say nite-nite to at least £200. If yore not sure what youre doing, get someone who knows.

In some cases u might benefit from tidyinging your cables in the case as they can also create air blocks and channel air into wrong places. As nohelpme said, it is a little high and you should be aiming for about 47-50deg under a full load.

 

My CPU only runs at 28c and that's with a £15 fan that runs at almost 6000rpm's in fact the system temp is higher(34c). Yep you cant go wrong with Arctic Silver it's great and along with a good fan your temp should drop a good bit.

 

ok thanks a lot ppl!

 

My cpu is a prescott and it still runs so cool but b4 i got my current fan the temp was around 51c.

 

So the Cel d is hotter...see my goal was I was going to get one..a 3.06 and overclock it...anyone have expierence doing this???
