New CPU Temp

Expand Post »
Hi, I know you always are getting temperature related questions but here is one more Wondering if my new processor is getting too hot. It is a 3.0 GHz Northwood with a Spire Heatsink & Fan rated up to 3.4GHz. When I'm just using IE, skype, or other small programs it varies from 29º-31ºC....When using Half-Life 2, or editing video with Adobe Premiere Pro it jumps to 43-47ºC..

Thanks

Re: New CPU Temp

Those temps are good. As long as your not going over 50 a lot you should be fine. If you see 50+ a lot you might want to consider a new case fan, or a new CPU fan or heatsink.

Re: New CPU Temp

Personally, I'd only start worrying if it hits 60.

Do you have good case ventilation?

Hi Coconut, it is a cheap case but has a rear exhaust fan, a CPU exhaust, and I added another 80mm fan on the removable panel. It is a large case and has plenty of space for air to circulate.

Sounds good then. Is the side panel fan blowing onto the expansion cards?

If you want to add another fan, then an intake at the front would do nicely.

Yes the intake on the side is cooling the PCI/AGP card(s). I have one more fan leftover from a netfinity server so I will add that to the front.

Thanks

Re: New CPU Temp

I personally dont think thats too much but its getting close to the limit. I prefer to see things under 50* when their under full load and your rig seems to be, but if your worried about it add some higher speed fans or a pci exhaust...Although rour pc will be undoubtably louder, it will be cooler :cheesy:

Re: New CPU Temp

i didnt even think of this but what kind of past are you using? artic sliver 5 takes upto 200 hours to set up and give you the most efficient heat transfer....so you probably will go cooler in a few weeks if it is brand new
