CPU / MB Temperature?
« on: August 04, 2005, 12:54:44 am »
What should a CPU temperature be at, on average?

Whenever I'm in Windows playing a game, it seems to skyrocket and overheat.

When I booted right from the game (hearing it beep) into the BIOS, it was 120 degrees farenheight (something like 47.5 degrees celsius).

Is this temperature safe? It would seem so, seeing as how no damage has actually occured, and I want to see if it's just being a bit paranoid and warning me early versus letting me know it's fucking up.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

That doesn't seem high at all to me.

It seems that I remember mine running from 50-60 C when I had Asus Probe installed. I haven't installed it since my last format.

Yeah, on my boss' computer, his CPU temperature climbs about 10C when he runs WoW. It's kind of interesting to watch.

I also am running an Asus motherboard. It starts beeping at about 50 C. It's really getting old since I get worried over nothing.

Too bad Windows sucks so much that Asus Probe won't install. :|

It installed without a hitch on my computer (under windows, of course). Maybe it's your computer? =P

It loads SETUP very slowly....

Infact, almost too slowly....

Then, after it finishes loading and has me on my toes, it disappears and spawns a bunch of weird processes. :(

I've heard anything over about 110°F - 120°F should be concerning.

Same here 110+ is getting to hot (probably the reason that your videocard overheated also), you need to vent that heat out.

Well, mine runs at 47.5 C just idle. It vents about ~80% of the CPU temp out of its vent (the top one, it's always hot, lolz)

The video card overheats, but that's because the heatsink on it blows around 1 PCI slot below onto the sound card. Hehe.
