    CPU temperature

    What temperature is ok for a processor(celeron, coppermine core) to work on? Just a few minutes ago I noticed that both the blowers on my heatsink had stopped for some reason, but the temperature didn't exceed 81 degrees celcius (at 100% CPU useage), that's only 5 degrees more then when the blowers do work.

      Are you sure the HS is even coming in contact with the cpu?!

        1........





        KaBoom!

        Seriously, are you sure that the sensor/monitoring software is working? was it C or F?

        If it was C and its working your machine will start to suffer from random hangs, I bet.....

        it shouldnt take out the chip though (I think!)
        Dont just swallow the blue pill.

          are the fans really blowing air onto the hs? maybe they were flipped...

            this is an overclocked celeron, now running with a heatsink that definetly wasnt meant for passive cooling, but still no hangs

            when i close all programms it comes back to 58 degrees celcius (but the fans still wont turn for some reason).

              hate to say this guy but a block of lead would cool it better than that thing

                  81 C is waaaaaaay too high.

                  Get a real HSF, or risk burning out your CPU within the very near future.

                    I wouldn't... you are right at the point the silicon would be permanently damaged

                      81 degrees isn't a good job
                      unless you are burning in

                        well, i would have expected it to reach higher temps if the fans ever failed. I've removed the HS and installed an old socket 7 HS with working fan, temp doesnt exceed 70 degrees now when stress-testing, is that better?

                        p.s. what kind of HS should I get, i'm not trusting my system to a socket 7 cooler

                          just ask for a Pentium 3 heatsink, most of them are pretty good
                          how fast is your cpu ? (MHZ)

                            it's running at 1364mhz (124*11)

                              most P3 HS are made for 1600mhz processors
                              it normally written on the box of the HS

                              just say in the store you need a P3 HS for a 1400 mhz P3
                              (and if they make the "a 1400mhz P3???"-face, just tell them its a Tualatin )
