trackrat Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 mine is an AMD2200xp and generally runs at 40c.Take a look at this for quiet fans.http://www.quietpc.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I consider a temperature of 50 - 55 deg C CPU, 35 - 45 deg C case to be quite acceptable. I have one machine where the CPU runs at about 60 deg C. Don't know why it does that but it's been running perfectly OK for two years like that so I don't worry too much.Regarding HDDs, I understand that some are designed to run at temperatures of 70 deg so yours are well within specification there.Modern CPUs will shut down at temperatures well below that at which they will self destruct so don't be too concerned at the temperatures you are getting.Trackrat's suggestion of Quiet PC is a good one. I use them a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Pentium 4 2.4 Gig. At present having been on for twenty minutes it is at 27 degrees. On hot days in this room after running for a while it gets up to 42 degrees or thereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
