The Observer Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Specs:OS: Vista Home Premium SP1RAM: 2 GBProcessor: Amd Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (Dual-core) The idling temperature (when CPU is at like 1-3%..) Speedfan says the temperature is around 25°C. Then when the CPU usage spikes to 100% (when I play a game or something else that requires CPU usage) the temperature goes up to 63°C-65°C. Is this a problem that I should be concerned about or is it perfectly normal and I'm just being paranoid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJoe Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Normal. A little bit high temperature for 100% load. Two ideas: Buy a can of compressed air and blow the dust out of your fans and the case (obviously hoover the floor afterwards), 2, if you know how to, you could also apply some new thermal paste if that hasn't been done in a while. And of course, the temperature depends on where your room is (i.e. sun-side) and if it's hot weather atm etc etc. J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I've had an AthlonX2 4600+, and at those high temperatures it was already losing some performance, I believe it could be the case with this one too as it's not too far from being the same specs. I would go with OldJoe's advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das1330 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 65 degrees Celsius is perfectly normal for a computer CPU. Most have thermal limits of around 90 to 100 degrees Celsius before their thermal protection system activates and shuts the component off, so you are well within normal operating parameters.

Jernlov Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 They're both decent low and high temperatures for an AMD Athlon X2 but that's a rather big spike. Dust your stuff out and see how you go! Steam | Soup | Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Even if it does get that hot, it's not a major concern as others have said. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
