Is 54c too hot?

[Bubba]

Just as the title asks.I'm running at 1425@53-54c. Is this too hot?

Nope, but it's getting there. But as long as it works, you're in the recommended amd temps. If it goes above sixty though you're definitely gonna want to think about better cooling.

Thanks I've been posting all my questions for the last week and out of about 10 posts this is the only reply I've gotten.I thought this was a help site for OC'ing?Anyway I have a Millenium Glaciator and my sys temp is only 28c.I thought this was a better fan than that.I have an OCZ Glaciatot that I bought from SVS-Do you think I should put that on?I just hate to take off the Millenium because it's not easy to get on and I sure don't want to ruin my chip.r

The Gladiator is what i have on my T-bird, but from what i hear you should leave the glaciator on. Its quieter and just as good. A system temp of 28c might be your problem. You could try taking the case panels off to lower that, or mount a couple fans. A degree drop in ambient temps is a degree drop to cpu temps.

I have a Copper bottom Alpha on Mine with the 26 or 23Cfm fan and it hits 54 to 55C when it is maxed out for a while as well.

I thinks I saw on AMD's site that this chip can supposedly handle 90C. Wow

I've got the Antec 830 with 5 fans and two on my PSU and the case open with a house fan on it.I used ASII and have round cables!

hmm...the only other solution i can think of is wait for winter:D

Thanks.I just hate to think I have to stay at 1425 because of cooling,I would understand maybe my memory (although I spent some money on PC2400) but my temps!That stinks.

I am at 1500 with my 1.33Ghz Tbird and I really do no notice any temp different between overclocked and default. Go higher if you want it will probably not increase very much.
