My 3200+ hit 58c, is this bad?

Joeteck · 02-20-06, 01:23 PM

My CPU hit an amazing 58c, just a moment ago... But now it is back to 38c at Idle. Have I've done damage to this thing, or am I ok...?

azu · 02-20-06, 01:30 PM

the max temps for cpus are 60-70C ish..

soo id say you shouldn't have damaged anything.. but you're getting there.

funnyperson1 · 02-20-06, 01:33 PM

If you don't notice anything wrong you probably didn't damage anything, but I wouldn't run it like that for long periods of time. Were these temps with or without thermal paste?

No, thats with leaving the high conductive plastic on the heatsink...

funnyperson1 · 02-20-06, 01:43 PM

If the CPU isn't running with greatly increased voltages, then those temps are out of order. What heatsink are you using and what core is that? If its a Venice then there is definately something wrong imho (perhaps the heatsink needs to be remounted or something).

Plastic? You mean the the stock TIM? If you're running stock something is wrong, even with the stock heatsink and TIM.

No.... Think about how the heatsink get shipped...There is plastic protecting the TIM. I, the over zealous person, slapped the computer so fast that I forgot to take off the plastic.... And it RAN!!

The plastic cooled it down to 58c....

Joeteck · 02-20-06, 02:00 PM

Stop laughing yet??

You're probably thinking, what an idiot!!

EDIT: I'm dead serious!!

Internal · 02-20-06, 02:07 PM

That's just crazy.

My 3200+ running @ 2.5ghz is 22-25c idle and 32-35c full load for hours on end.

You have some issues there.

I was wondering if thats what you meant, but I was like nah..nobody does that lol. So at least now we know plastic<air bubbles<thermal paste

I kid.

Joeteck · 02-20-06, 02:17 PM

Now the BIOS reads 39c... Good?

Asus A8N5X

hoho220 · 02-20-06, 04:58 PM

Yes this is fine... the cpu is under load in the bios... not 100% but still under load

EvilCloudStrife · 02-20-06, 05:01 PM

didnt you say in another thread that you have built 100s of computers? didnt you also say you dont use thermal paste at all? just wondering...

Quailane · 02-20-06, 07:42 PM

I have had my venice up to the upper 80's for almost two weeks. It is perfectly fine.

MightyJoe · 02-20-06, 07:47 PM

CPU's are resilient little buggers. You may have reduced the life of the processor from 10 years to 9 or something still longer than its the tech is worth.... essentially, don't worry about it

How in the hell did you pull that off??

OldOne · 02-20-06, 09:14 PM

I ran an Athlon XP 2800 up to 100c to many times to count and it kept on going.Now it did shut down when it hit that temp,after it cooled down it would boot right up.

I installed a newer version of the bios in my board and it set the voltage at 1.85 for some reason.
