Folding & temps

[Robert17]

I joined Team 32 today and my rig is Folding as I type. Various cores are being cycled and my temps via CoreTemp64 are pretty stable at 37-38deg C. High temp @ 44deg C. My hardware in my signature.

Does this look about normal? I idle @ 30-32deg C.

Are you overclocked? If you are overclocked with those temps, you are set, I would say.

If you are not overclocked, I'd still say your safe (and you have some room to play around with ), as AMD chips tend to wig out and become unstable above 55C. That is a bit on the warm side if you are running stock clocks, especially with an aftermarket cooler.

A very slight OC, not worth mentioning. I'd OC'd to 3.8Ghz stable @ 41degC with an air cooler (4 heat pipes) prior to replacing with the H60 and resetting for F@H. Wanting to test the water. But didn't burn in with any stability testing. My bad.

Overnight my log shows minimum temp of 34degC, max @ 40degC, cycling at 50% load. Ambient is 23deg C. It looks appealing to me to go ahead and ramp up the OC at this point.

OK. I'm running a mild OC at 3.867Ghz, temps steady @ 43.3degC, cores averaging 25% usage during F@H mostly. All for 48 hrs excepting during a few minutes each during the thunderstorms/power outages.

Sound about right to you long term folders?

I haven't run an AMD setup in a year or so, but those temps sound good to go with me. You are keeping core temps well below the 55 C mark, which is the important figure to keep under from what I've heard and read with AMD procs.
