TBird 1200 temperature

[aNgEl iN pAiN]

I have a TBird 1200 and an Asus A7A with 256 DDR. Before I try to "burn" my CPU I need help in wich should be the temperature of CPU to be stable. The CPU is allways @ 64 C of temperature. What is the maximum for a stable system? To overclock I just chabge the VCore setting on BIOS right? Wich should be a good VCore? Now it is set to 1,808 wich is the jumperfree setting.
Thank you for your help.

Welcome to the forum!

Your temps are very high. I woulden't start overclocking with those temp's. What cooler do you have? Are you using AS2? Do you have you some case cooling?

[aNgEl iN pAiN]

I have a Coolmaster CPU cooler and no more coolers. What is a normal temp for that CPU? Is the system with a non normal temp?

[DevinainoX]

you need to get a real cooler that chip shouldnt be hotter than about 35 c maybe at idle if it isnt overclocked

Before I killed my motherboard, my 1.2 was stable at 1.533. My
idle temps were only around 45c-47c. I considered that way to
warm, so I installed a program called Vcool. After that, my temps
dropped to 30c idle.

I have a 1.3 that running @65-66 C, I try to change the heatsink and adding cooling fan this weekend.
Your post said you use a software program to lower the temperature, I would like to know where I can buy that software,
anybody out side can tell me what is the best heatsink available on the market. Thanks:)

get ya dough out and get a SWIFTECH or a THERMALRIGHT or a WINGLOBAL . im gonna get a Swiftech soon ,im running a Winglobal cak38(copper h/s) which is keeping my 1200tb at 1430 with a temp of 33 idle 35 loaded.Hopfully the Swftech will be better still....:mad: :mad: :mad:

[lennytiger]

Case fans 80mm are good to get cool air in and hot air out of your case this is what you ideally need to improve cooling.

The Athlon does run hot and there is not a lot you can do apart from improve cooling.

You may need to cut your case there are some links on the front page to help you....

hmmmn i dont know about that vcool...my comp hangs everytime i try to use it..now it is just collecting dust in the memory

I had to raise my vcore up to 2.1 to get vcool to be stable. It was
very unstable at 1.85.

thanks ill give that i try

hey

I have the same problem w/ the CPU heating. I also, have an A7A266 w/ a 1.0Ghz 266Mhz. Ever since I flashed my BIOS from 1002 to 1006, the CPU temp increased by 10 degrees Celsius. I have heard that this is the real temperature. So, it's now at 62C idle.

I would like to know if Millennium Glaciator is a good CPU HSF? I would like to know your opinion cuz I've already ordered it. If it's not good then I still have the chance to cancel the order.

thanks in advanced

[warlok]

well copper is a better heat sink than aluminium..so you got it beat there ...however as good as they say i couldnt tell you...i use a volcano...it is better than crome orb

[Mr.Lansing]

I advise you to use the Global Win's CAK38
excellent cooling
but it comes with the noisy delta 38

[!-=sky=-!]

the delta isnt ALL THAT BAD
i cant remember who said this but

LOUD FANS SAVES COMPUTERS

[lennytiger]

the delta is a great fan and really does cool
well.

Even though mine is only at 7V the CPU at full load is still only 45C full load!!

[!!tio!!]

Actually the temperature can go up to 80C! but for safety reason, keep it under 70C! And do you know that Vcore increae temperature?

Get a big a good heatsink@

[Oni]

If you keep your temps under 50c you'll be just fine. You don't *have* to run it @ 35c, that just looks good in a sig :)

My system runs about 45c idle, and 49c load w/ a FOP38 and 7 volt mod (nice and quiet) and I don't have any problems. Highest I've seen my temps go was about 53 load in the middle of summer, and my box was still dead stable.

[KrzyPrk]

hey guys

thanks for your replies. I appreciate it. regarding the loud fans, i cant stand it. i do have an extra HSF that's really loud and makes the temp kewl. i forgot what it is called though. anyway, it ran at around 5800 RPM.

i just hope that the one i ordered is quieter. Otherwise, I'll be on a search again. sigh

[Mr.Lansing]

If you want a quiet fan than maybe noise control silverado will be your choice
og course it doesn't cool as good as the CAK38 etc..
but it does a pretty good job!!

[KrzyPrk]

hey
thanks for the reply

i just saw the HSF. i wouldve consider of getting that cuz it does have a bigger fan on the heat sink. for now, i gotta wait for my HSF to come in..it's on its way now.

i think ur temp is a bit high consis u got a better hsf than me and with no o/c

[bdf24]

On my system which is down right now. My 1.2 gig before it died with an Asus A7A 266 would never run any cooler then 59c. I tried a cooler master, watercooling, then my SK6 on the cpu with virtually no change in temp at all. Last thing I did was add ASII to the mix. Still no change in temp. I honestly believe the board was just way off as far as measuring the cpu temp. I think with the A7A 266 it's a must to have a seperate sensor to measure the temps. I eventually said the heck with the temps. The system always ran stable so I did'nt worry about it anymore.

Oh and the temps are not the reason the chip died. I chipped the core a while back and I believe I got some ASII in the chipped area after reinstalling the HSF. That's what killed it. Tried cleaning it off and reinstalling it several times with no success.

I've got the Millenium Glaciator and it does a really good job keeping my 1.2 cool.It's OC'ed to 1474 with 1.85v and running at 33-35c idle.Also another really gooood fan for a really reasonable price is the SVC Gladiator,it's is about equal( +2c) to the Glaciator.I think you'll be happy with your fan and I think it will lower your temps considerably!

Although I do come here on a regular basis to pick up some tips, I have noticed a very annoying habit at this forum. People ask for advice on high temperatures and are given some astronomically low reading that they supposedly must obtain in order to operate their computer. To the guy who asked for advice............this is what you do: get yourself a descent heatsink (Gladiator for $20.00 comes to mind), apply some Artic Silver 2 paste to the core (check out their website for detailed application steps), be careful when attaching the heatsink because the core is very fragile on the Athlon chips as well. You need to install a 80mm minimum fan in the lower front part of the computer to draw cool air in, and another fan at the back of the computer to draw the hot air out. This setup will get you started with cooling your case to decent temps. You cannot obtain lower temps if your case temp is high. Pretty simple huh?............you do not need a 80 dollar heatsink............or 50 fans mounted in the case(which is the only way to obtain the claimed ridiculusly low idle and load temperatures claimed here). You want to shoot for the low 40's at idle and low 50's at load if u can (In Celcius) Not intended to flame anyone....it's the truth....just look at some of the posts here.

Hope this helps the original post

[Bubba]

I don't recall reading one reply to this post that implied in any way about spending tons of money or anything that suggested a ridiculously low temp, quite the opposite in fact.This is an OC'ing forum and when people come to this site for advise it is under my assumption that they are interested in OC'ing or attempting to OC and my answers are based on this assumption.For most everyone in these forums these low temps are not only the norm but also very important for stability.I'd much rather have someone shoot for a very obtainable low temp than have that person have the false sense of security that their temps are fine at 65c with a non-overclocked computer.

[Tab]

35C idles?....recommendations of Swiftech coolers?.......I said I wasn't flaming...just stating the facts. This guy didn't claim to be a die hard overclocker with money to burn. He wanted some advice...and it was obvious to me he was just getting started. Telling someone that a 35C temp is a good recommendation? Think not........some people have better things to do than to sit and watch (and fabricate) their temperatures. Sure, you can get some low temps, but at what cost?........you got 7 fans in your case, and I'm sure you can hardly hear yourself think. Give this guy a break and recommend some easy to understand tips, and some realistic goals to shoot for. That's my point.

[JAWS]

Wow!TAB, How noble of you! In my case I spent 2 months on
trying to find the right heatsink/fan, and countless nights trying
to find the right program to lower my temps.(if only by a few)
So I think it's real important to hear all sides!
