Hi,

I just bought a new built system

Intel 3.2GHZ (775 CPU)
Intel 915GAVL motherboard
Seagate 200G SATA hardisk
DDR400 512M Ram
NEC3500 DVD writer

Temperature of the CPU at 55 Celsius even not running game, the motherboard
is also at 42 Celsius

Is it normal? Seems quite hot

With stock heatsink, original thermal pad, and mediocre
chassis airflow, that sounds about right. It's largely
irrelevant what the idle temp is though, run a stress test
like Prime95's torture test, "In-Place Large FFTs" mode...
run it for at least an hour, noting the max temp and any
errors reported.

With this maximal (assuming room temp will not go up at
differing times of year) temp value it can be determined if
you need change something or if it is fine... In itself 50C
is not a problem, nor is 60C, for stock speed use.

My XP2400 is currently running at 41c and motherboard at 22c - it'll go up
by 5 degrees when I run a game and the CPU load is 100%. The differance
between your temps tells me your CPU cooler is okay - its just that there
isnt sufficent airflow in your case so temps in general are a little high.
Get 2 x 80mm case fans and fit 1 at the front/bottom to draw air into the
case and 1 at the back below the PSU to extract air. You'll drop temps by 10
degrees.
 
You have just discovered what a lot of the rest of us already knew: that the
new Prescott CPU's from Intel run VERY hot under normal conditions.

Open the windows and switch off the heating in the room :P

Naw, that's too memory and storage subsystem dependent for
highest CPU load.

Odd, I've always found roughly the same results between P95 and encoding video. A
quicky test shows both P95 (Large FFT Torture test) and TMPGenc (avi to mpg) maxing
out my CPU at 45C from an idle of 40C.

Some encoding jobs may be more stressfull than others, on
any particular subsystem. With so many potential variables
it is more difficult to be sure of maximizing CPU
utilization, contrasted to a fixed test isolating CPU more,
like Prime95. Also and perhaps more important, Prime95 will
reveal errors, while an error during encoding might never
be noticed, the job could finish and resulting video may
play back fine.

Next time choose an AMD processor instead if you are worried about heat
and power consumption.

Nice frag, maybe you noticed that the guy was asking for advice not BS
commentaries. FYI even AthlonXPs run hot, although not as hot as the
Tbirds. The temperature is symptomatic of newer higher clocked
processors. Best advice is to check Intel's site and find out what the
heat tollerances are for your Celeron.

Someone who gives good sound advice, these other clowns could learn
something. I have an AthlonC @ 1.4ghz and that baby runs hot(70C). I
added 3 3" fans and a Cyclone card cooler. I have one blowing down on
the CPU and the others, the Cyclone and the other 2 pulling out the
back. I dropped about 15C.

You obviously know bugger all about cooling if you have to fit all
that crap.
1 year_O/C XP1800@XP2100 mega online game sessions hours and
hours.Cheap £6.95 HSF and one 80mm Back cooling fan.

HTH =)
