oesii Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 107F is not very hot for an XP. I have the same chip and my computer has been on all night, my current cpu temp is 48C/118F. The Athlons get a little more hot than Pentiums but a good heatsink/fan and maybe 1 or 2 extra case fans should be all you need. Here's a whole forum topic on temps, which normally range from 45-60C: http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/1877/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 107F is actually very cool for a XP proc. I wouldn't worry about it. The processors in Jaguar actually get much hotter than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 Thanks Im going to put my Volcano 7 fan and heatsink on it to see if I can get it even more cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 two Athlon MPs are even worse... I could hang a tray of water on the back of my computer and have a nice sauna instead of a dorm room... (power supply is something like 400W, though... so that could be part of it too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
