AMD 939 3000 CPU Temp

[zak1976]

I have had a quick search on this and have found a few different answers....
What is the standard " no load" temp of the Newcastle? Mine is running at 47deg, which seems a bit warm.
It's running with standard CPU cooling, (with no extra paste added to the CPU,), a huge 120 fan drawing in and a smaller fan drawing out. (It is completely cool in the case.)
Does this sound right, if not what temp should I be getting?

And if it makes any difference, it's sitting on a AV8 3rd eye MOBO.

hmm, seems a bit hot...

a) put thermal paste on
b) Switch the fans around, you should have more exhaust than intake

holy **** thats hot compared to my 2800 and mines overclocked like 24% but its also socket 754... but thats still hot.... right now its 82F/28C

It's still within the saftey zone but it's VERY HOT for a newcastle

Hell at 2.55 GHZ and 1.8 volts i only stress at 50 degrees

hmm seems kinda hot, My 64 3000+ winni is sitting at 24-28 Idle, doubt ther would be that much of a margin betwen the 2.

OK, cheers. Will see if it cools down over time.... maybe just needs the "pad" to met to the CPU properly to conduct the heat???

Mine is at 35 with a cheap (not stock) heatsink.

I have a 3000+ winchester, idles 21C loads at 28C.

Trifid, your CPU fan is twice the RPM over mine. Is this changeable? Or is it because you are using non stock cooling?
Ended up reading 38 last night..... so it's getting better.

yeah, maybe you should get a new heatsink.. intel stock hsf are decent, but im not sure about AMD's
