my cpu temp

[madanchi]

hi, i'm just wondering if anyone knows but what is the average temp of my cpu? it is an AMD Phenom II x4 955 3.2ghz (ive OCed it to a stable 3.6ghz)

so, any suggestions?

~40C average under load.

Max it can get to is 62.

 

[madanchi]

ahh thanks

Personally, I cut it at 50C. If it's past that in prime95, I consider it too hot.

 

[madanchi]

yeah i suppose 50c does sound a bit high

I don't know about Phenom II's, but for the most part anything under 70 is safe...

Phenom II's don't like being very hot.

I keep it icy chill because losing a CPU really isn't worth it for bragging rights/5% performance gain.

I'm not saying I would push it, but some processors will be hotter then others, and they are rated well above 62c if I recall correctly.

AMD says 62C is max safe operating temperature, and that is where most people cut it.

I cut at 54 with stock cooler.
52 is top SAFE one for me.
31-25 is idle for me.
