Hey,

just put one of these in my system, not sure what temperature it should be running at. Its idling at the moment at 39/40 C but under load has touched the high 50's. Does this sound good and proper to everyone, or is that load temp a little high?

Ta.
 
What cooler are you using? I have a 4800X2 and it sits at around 45 under full load 24/7. I usea Gigabyte 3D Rocket Pro.
 
I would say thats too high under full load - my pair of X2 3800's are running at 49/50C under full load whilst crunching 24/7, and thats with stock AMD coolers.
 
My X2 3800's are always under 40 and over 30. Thats with 3 fans.
How often does it reach the 50's?
 
Oh, and mine runs oc'ed at 2.6Ghz.

Maybe you need to reseat the heatsink?
 
i have a 4400 X2 at 2.5Ghz with stock cooler and it sits around 45C

maybe you need more airflow
 
I know its singlecore, but my 3700 idles at 28 degrees. 50 is a little high for athlons.
 
Never heard of that make - looks a bit cheap and nasty to be honest, but you could try re-seating it.

However I would recommend you get yourself an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro, or Zalman CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower :thumb:
