ok, i have a AMD 64 3200+ with the stock cooler, I have taken the FSB from 200 to 225 Mhz (it cant cope with 230 so ive left a little breathing room) This Computer is on 24/7 and allways @ 100% CPU usage as it is running F@H. Is this a bad idear? O ) Its been running @ 225 Mhz for about 24 hours now...... it seems to be sticking to 57*c. Im using 'Core Cell' to do this as i have a MSI board, The Warning temp is set to 65*c... Its a sound alarm and it will also shut down the computer if i dont do anything about it within 15 secs (handy if im not at home/in the room) Anyoen know the normal temps for this CPU? (Under load and idle).... ive looked at my temps before (!!) Thanks guys (that also includes any girls here )
i would of thought normal temperatures are between 30 and 40 degrees at stock cooling on a 3200+ it should be ok running 24/7, if its 57 at full load, then its not going to jump to 65.
Ive currently got MBM 5 (mother board manager 5) but its only usefull for having a look at my voltages etc as i cant set it to shut the computer down (or i havny spent enuf time using it, blah blah blah). Thanks anyway, i will keep it in mind if anything goes nutty
