Howdy,
Just joined the ranks of high speed CPU users with my new Athlon 1.4Ghz and ASUS A7A266 and been thrust into the world of temp monitoring, fan rpm's etc etc.
Never had to worry about this with the overclocked PPro!
Now I have alarms alarming and monitoring windows popping in my face with predictions of impending meltdown.
At first, when the cpu temp hit 70c it was song and dance time. Now I've flashed a newer bios revision and it's allowed me to raise the alarm threshold.
Thing is, what should it be set to?
Living in the tropics I generally get cpu temps around 75 - 84c and m/b temps around 35-38c. Is this acceptable?
I noticed the chip specs for the AMD Athlon 1400 have a max die temp of 95c. I'm presuming whatever is measuring my system will be slightly lower than this since it's probably only *near* the die not on it.
Anyway, comments? Tips? Advice?
Cheers,
Finn61
