Solution for Temperature Problem

[Effren]

If your CPU too heated, it can cause reboots interface of the computer, instability and even damage the processor itself.

To cool the processor there are several solutions:

• Improve the exchange of air in the box by reorganizing the water to maximize air circulation:
  
  • Ensure that fresh air from outside is oriented components with high temperatures (CPU, graphics card, etc.)..
  • Make sure the air from the hot elements to be evacuated outside the box.
• Remove dust accumulated in the cabinet with a bomb compressed air. This type of aerosol provided specifically for this type of use generally costs less than 10 euros in trade.
• Opt for a heatpipe (Radiator Fan +) more efficient (attention to noise).
• Using a software tool cooling as CPU Idle.

Knowing the temperature of my processor

There are several ways to know the temperature of CPU:

• By accessing the BIOS setup
• Using software such as SpeedFan or CPU-z
• By installing a probe on the hardware processor

Intel temperatures

The maximum temperature of an Intel processor depends on the model but is usually around 60-65 ° C. The higher the temperature of the processor will be low, there will be less risk to the processor. In addition its lifetime will obviously be even longer.

AMD temperatures

The temperature of my AMD Athlon processor is it normal?

The maximum temperature operating an AMD processor is determined by the model number (OPN) of the processor. The CA is on top of the processor. Example:

A X1800 DMS 3 C

This temperature is indicated by the third character from the right of OPN. This character can take the values S, T and V.

These characters identify the maximum temperature of use of the AMD Athlon XP: V = 85 º C, T = 90 º C, S = 95 º C.

[Effren]

The temperature using a system or a processor depends largely on characteristics of the system as a whole and its constituent components. Accordingly, the temperature of use "normal" varies from one system to another, depending on its components.

Among the variables affecting the use temperature of the system are: the size of the cabinet, its ventilation, the components installed, processor speed, the solution radiator / fan chosen, the thermal interface material, the food, power supply, the workload and ambient temperature.

The typical value returned by the BIOS or a third party analysis software should therefore be up between 60 and 65 º C.

Although no use temperature "normal" is specified for AMD, there is a maximum temperature which should not be exceeded.
The maximum use temperature of a processor can be determined by the model number of this processor (CA).

Warning: The value of the maximum temperature of use is directly measured at the center of the chip on top.
The temperature reported by the BIOS of a system may be different from the actual temperature of the processor if the measure is taken to another place.
Moreover, the reported temperature is affected by the accuracy of the sensor, the tool used and converting analog / digital signal.
It is recommended to accept a certain margin in the comparison of operating temperature and maximum temperature reported by the BIOS.
