Athlon XP owners post your temps?

frosty · Post by **frosty** » Mon Nov 24, 2003 2:27 pm

Was wondering where all the Atlon XP folks are coming in at.

My idle ranges on ambient from 20 to 25 and cpu lowest ever was 33c and 38c idle and load, after playing Q3 for about an hour up to 44c.

Also wondered if I should be doing better with my SLK800A since I run a panaflo 80 L at full 12v right on it. Perhaps some Artic Silver 5 perhaps would help?

My Barton idles around 35c, full load around 40c. Case stays around 25c constant. Thats with AS5 and the TT SilentBoost (I don't see why so many trash this HS, I love it

)

First, its rather tough to do a direct comparison of temperatures if its between different motherboards and chipsets. The HSF, fan and fan speed are all variable as well.

I also don't see a problem running CPUs in the low 50s for temps.

That being said, I'm running two XP systems, folding all the time, and would love to jabber on about temperatures.

Abit KT7A, AMD 1600 (Palomino core) at 1.63vcore, SLK800 w/ L1A @ 7v. Case temp 27-30C, CPU 44-52C, depending on ambient.

ECS K7S5A Pro, AMD 1700 (Tbred core) at 1.53vcore, SLK800 w/ L1A @ 6v. Case* temp 28-32C, CPU 40-45C.

Generic thermal paste used on both systems. Sometimes re-used from the excess on the underside of the heatsink

* actually, there is no case. This is motherboard is sitting flat out in the open. However, there is no airflow other than the CPU fan.

My XP2000 (palomino) runs at high 48-49C, but it is folding 24/7 and overclocked (stock 1666 now at 1760).

I have a TT Silent Boost and love it.

I've got an Athlon XP2400+

room temp is 22C
cpu temp at idle 37C
cpu temp at load 41C

Arctic Silver 5 might help some - worth a try. I'm using a SLK900A with a Panaflo 80mm L1A running around 1400rpm. I replaced the stock AMD heatsink/fan with the SLK/Panaflo combo and reduced my cpu temps by 7 degrees.

XP2100 Tbred B

MCX462-V, 92mm FPS variable speed fan (running off mobo header at full 12v)

Idle: 35° (575-600 RPM)
Load: 54° (850-875 RPM)

XP 2400+

Watercooled with passive radiator, no PS fan, and one 120mm intake fan.
Temperatures measured with ECS K7S5A motherboard sensors.

42°C CPU with normal use
45°C CPU with heavy use
31°C case.

The temps are the same as I was getting with my 1.4 GB Athlon.

Barton 2600+

Idle 42C
Load 49C

Palomino 1800+

Idle 32C
Load 42C

Both using Alpha PAL8045. Barton has generic thermal paste, Palomino has Arctic 3. I'm a bit disappointed with my Barton idle temps.

grindlestone · Post by **grindlestone** » Mon Nov 24, 2003 8:19 pm

XP 2400+ with stock HSF on ABIT NF7-S

Case temp is normally about 36
CPU 42 @ idle and 46 under normal load
48-49 playing Call of Duty

It's summer here now with day max temps 28-30 and no aircon. I have an 80mm exhaust fan under the PSU and open a 5.5 inch drive bay to let air in. This last knocks about 2 degrees of the temps. I can knock off a further 2-3 degrees by placing a fan in the drive cage sucking air through the open bay.

Winding the FSB up to 143mhz adds about a degree and a half to CPU temp. I have also had days so hot that the temp would not drop below 50 even with the case open and a houshold fan blowing into it a full tilt!

~65c idle
i don't even know what it goes up to at load.. never crashes though

i've ordered a thermalright SLK-947U and a panaflo L1A... maybe that will help

HaloJones · Post by **HaloJones** » Tue Nov 25, 2003 3:49 am

XP1700+ at 2400MHZ, 1.65v, water-cooled on 8RDA+ which alleges the load temp tp be around 6-7C above ambient.
XP2100+ at 2278MHz, 1.85v, water-cooled on ECS K7S5A which alleges the cpu is 12C above ambient.

N.B. Every number in this thread is almost certainly wrong

Crikey, are you running it passive or something?

ragear wrote:i've ordered a thermalright SLK-947U and a panaflo L1A... maybe that will help

That would certainly help loads, preferably with AS3 too.

My temps:
43-46 idle
low 50s under load

XP2400+ Tbred B not overclocked
SLK800A with L1A

I run the CPU fan between 5-10V depending on load using a Sunbeam Rheobus, in order to keep temps around 50 degrees.

I tried overclocking from stock 2000MHz to 2200MHz, but I had to raise Vcore from 1.65V to 1.825V for stability, which raised temps almost 10 deg (and fan noise!). So I gave up on that pretty quickly, being a PC silencer more than an O/C'er!

When the Zalman is running at min speed, add 2C to each figure

frosty · Post by **frosty** » Tue Nov 25, 2003 7:34 am

Thanks everyone for your time and posts. I guess I could really safely run my zalman and turn down my 80 L from 12v down a bit eh?

Maybe to try some artic silver 5 down the road & spread it more in a thinner layer.

Kris · Post by **Kris** » Tue Nov 25, 2003 8:07 am

Temps measered with MB sensors, 21°C ambient :

Idle :
Case 30°C, CPU 33°C

Full load :
Case 32-33°C, CPU 37°C

Enermax 120mm exhaust @5v, intake@0v, 7000 AlCu@5v.

Case temp seems a little high, and it doesn't lower much with both 120mm's @12v..... Don't know where/how it's measured, maybe the NB, or close to the CPU ?

Btw : First post

Been browsing the forums for the last 3 months, computer went from way too loud, and overheating on hot summer days, to quiet and cool. Thank you all !!

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS kris

Im watercooled, basically the radiator fan determines the temperature of my cpu and i have 2 main settings for it although i can vary it to whatever i like, its either mainly full blast for best temps or set to 4-5v for silence.

Fan at Full:
Ambient: 23°C
No Load: 29°C
Full Load: 33°C

Fan at silence setup:
Ambient: 23°C
No Load: 38°C
Full Load: 42°C

I run a heavily overclocked JUHIB 1700+ to equivalent speed of XP2600+. (2.1ghz) too, which is something to bear in mind. (i did have an xp2200 but wasnt good at overclocking so sold it for the juhib 1700+)

My Athlon XP 2400+ on an ECS K7S5A mobo used to die (powerdown pc) because my room is so warm (whatever temp it is outside, same inside... great for winter, horrible for Aussie summer.)

Pre Zalman 7000A-Cu hsf:
- idle 42-ish
- Full load 60 something... crashtastic.

Post Zalman 7000A-Cu hsf:
- idle 37-ish
- full load 44 degrees... (on silent setting)

I love Zalman now.

GenghiS_KhaN · Post by **GenghiS_KhaN** » Thu Nov 27, 2003 10:38 am

running a barton 2500+ @ 1.525 V
SLK900 w/ crappy coolermaster fan (3000rpm i think)

ambient 21 I think
case temp 25
CPU-idle 31 (using MBM for tempreading, Vcool to cool

)
CPU-load 39-41 (without Vcool playing NFS: nderground, still need to test with vcool)

I like my temps, especially as I bought a new fan that i'll be running at 7v

chylld · Post by **chylld** » Thu Nov 27, 2003 12:39 pm

My temps beat you all!!!

I'm running a barton 2500 at stock speed/voltage. Idle 48, load 55-60.

Gotta love Shuttle SFF cooling

Also I'm running this without thermal paste which is probably really stupid but I'm waiting for my AS5 to come

silvervarg · Post by **silvervarg** » Thu Nov 27, 2003 12:45 pm

Well, it does not seem very wise to run without any thermal paste, but considering that you are waiting for AS5 I see nothing wrong as long as your system temps are within safe limits. According to your number you run perfectly fine.
What does strike me is the mention that your system is loud. I guess you have some thermal controlled fan that is working like crazy to cool your CPU because you lack thermal paste.

chylld · Post by **chylld** » Thu Nov 27, 2003 1:23 pm

yeh it's some sort of sunon 80mm that came with the shuttle that has to do both case cooling as well as cpu cooling. it speeds up/slows down based on cpu temp, and i have to say it works really well; it's just not at all quiet.

the shuttle's cooling system is actually capable of keeping my cpu under 60 deg C after about 12 hours of non-stop folding. seems to be ok
