AMD TB 1Ghz

[aout]

I am having the abovementioned processor. It is currently running at 40 - 42 deg celcius. Is it normal? My comp is located in a normal room temperature. I am having a standard hsf that comes with it. If it's not normal, could anyone suggest me of what I can do about it. Thanks a mil.

That's on the warm side, but it's still decent for the stock heatsink.
Is your case closed?
Do you have any sort of case fans?

I talked to a Computer Technician and he said that the t-bird 1ghz could run upto 100 degrees celcius. I think that its a little high but he probably knows more than I do since I was calling him

That refers to the actual core temp.
However, you will start getting unstable when the thermal probe hits about 55c or so.
Safest is under 45c IMO.

The max for the T-Bird is 95C. That's the absolute max, beyond that and you're pretty much screwed.

Show me any TBird running stable at 95c

95C read temp, considering compression, could mean a core temp of 125+ C over ambient case temp... Ouch...

Hmm... His runs 42C full load. That's better than mine running 48C full load. Although I'm running my 1.0GHz @ 1.224GHz, 48C seems a bit warm.

Well, I have my side casing taken off. And sometimes, my cpucooler reads 45-49 deg celcius if I am running games like halflife or mechwarrior. And when it idles, it goes back to 41-43 deg celcius. Anyways, is this kinda normal guys?

But what can explain the hanging of my systems. Sometimes, it hangs totally, the mouse everything. Even ctrl-alt-del doesn't werk. Thanks a mil for any help.

I am overclocked to 1.1ghz and I have a T-bird 900 My temp is 27C or so.

Paladin61, that is not full load.
