Hi

I have a Dual Core 3.0Ghz LGA775 CPU with a stock heatsink and fan.
What is the "accepted" operating temperature ?
Mine fluctuates from the mid 40degrees celsius to 60degrees celsius when i'm
gaming or video editing

Is up to 60deg normal ?
 
thanks
i thought perhaps i had done a bad job with applying the thermal paste
i had removed the stock cooler as it was too loud, installed a gigabyte blue
orb
then it sounded like a jetplane, so i put back the stock cooler
before i removed the stock first time i didnt look at temperatures
hence my question after removing the gigabyte and re-deploying the
original i had to clean and add thermal paste

thanks again

This similar box also sounded like a jet when first fired up, until I
changed the fan setting in the BIOS. The case was almost too hot to touch,
and temp probes showed about 60c.

An additional exhaust fan was installed at the back of the tower. Now the
unit is very quiet, and temps are in the 45-50c range. No heavy gaming here
though.^
 
I've sold a few systems with Celeron 2.8 and Pentium 4 3.0 CPU's install
with LGA775 on ASUS MB's and have had customers complain about the loud CPU
fan noise when it gets hot, check the temp of the cpu at the time and was
running at around 50 - 55c advised them to purchase a new fan with copper
heatsink, god knows why Intel won't supply them with their CPU's

Hope I am right in suggesting this to my customers
