good temp?

[jon15n]

What would you consider to be a nice, cool, healthy temp. for a 1.6GHz P4?

Is the front side bus 400MHz?

Thanks!

Any idea why my bios is not recognizing fans spinning (do I need to have special kinds of fans?) Both the system and CPU fan show 0 RPM. Also, my CPU temp is upwards 70 degrees Centigrade.

Any help would help!
Thanks
Jon

Fans with three cables to your MOBO have a RPM meter on them.
70 degrees, if that is celsius than your having a cooling problem, make sure there is a proper airflow in your case, that cpu fan is spinning at all and see if the cpu is properly connected to the cooler and has some paste between them.

yeah, 70 is NOT good for your comp

I got a new heatsink/fan today. As always, you were all correct!
It is now idling at 40 degrees.

Beautiful!

Do you smell burning? Cuz if you do you're way too high!

you gotta drop some liquid cooling into that baby....

The max. operating temperature of the P4 is within the range of 66-78ºC, depending on the core revision and model. The older, Willamette (especially the earlier Socket 423 models) have a higher peak point. Then, or course, you have to worry about the "issue" of processor-throttling when the overheat occurs.

For some reason mine is running at 70% to in my bios and in the easytune utillity that came with my motherboard.....

Could it be Celsius? Or am I near meltdown?

Using easytune, it should show both C and F, in the same line.
