maximum temp

hi.

wonder what the maximum acceptble temperature for an amd64 3200+ 2.43ghz vcore 1.5.

Regards

always tried to stay under 45*c 40 to be safe

Ive seen my opty go as high as 60, but then again i was on 1.6 vcore, and I just found out that ITE has been reading my temps wrong anyway.

I'd say 55 is the limit.

I had a 3500+ die on me at 50* before running 1.6v through it.

I run a 3500+ 2.53 at 1.44v and under load its at about 48/49 but before i had my cnps 9500 it went up to 55 under load.

Below 60*C on air is fine

hhmm sounds like its possible to remove the cpu fan then.

the cpu is at 41c at the moment and with the fan turned off it raises to 52c.

Under 55*C is fine.

Under 55c is a good temp to go by as nick said

i try to keep mine under though.

for a long and healthy cpu life i wouldnt advise u to take the fan off.

These processors generate too much heat to be passivly cooled with good effect imo,unless u have some unreal airflow goin on in ur case

so if you want your proc to live a long good life then i suggest u have the fan on low-half power all the time.

just my 2p

cheers.

Raging-savage, i DO have "some unreal airflow"

a week ago i turned of the cpu fan for 15minuts and the temp never went above 52c with maximum load.

the thing is i have a rather large cpu heatsink, a thermalright ultra90.

you can check it out in the review section.

i also have the backfan blowing air INTO the case instead of drawing air out of the case so even if i remove the cpu fan there will still be air moving around the heatsink.
