High Temp?

[Bobbins]

I'm running an Athlon XP2200 with a Globalwin CAK4-88T Fan and artic silver 3 compound. I've been building machines for almost 10 years, so I know I have the compound application correct But I'm running at 52.6C Full and 49.2 Idle. I am in Menorca, Spain, so the ambient temp is higher, but I just wondered if any other readers had a similar cpu/HS combo that runs alot cooler. It seems a bit high to me.

I am running this on a Gigabyte GA-7DXR+ mobo, which is a bit old hat now.

I have an Enermax PSU blowing across the cpu, and an 8cm case cooler on the back of the machine drawing the air out, so the air circulation should be fairly good.

Thanks in advance for any replies

I think that's about ok if you have a T-Bred A Core XP2200+
49.2 to 52.6 isn't a big change, don't need to worry much
well, that's only me, someone should have other pnt of view

52C is decent for a CPU full load temp. u shudnt be worrying about it.

If sometimes you feel little, useless, offended or depressed or get that loser feeling, always remember that you were once the fastest and most victorious sperm out of hundreds of millions...
