AMD 64 Temps

Lydesia

I have an AMD 64 3500nm WInchester processor.
Im using the stock fan and heatsink.

Im just wondering does anyone know much about the operating temperatures of this processor, and what might be safe/unsafe.

I have the Abit 3rd-eye socket 939 MB which has the guru-clock, so i have been monitering my system temps,

idle - 35 degrees, games - 45,

Full load (doing lots of work) Doom3 ect - 50.

This is in celcius obviously.

Does anyone know if these are too high or ok?
(im not overclocking)

They are alright temps. I dont start worrying unless they go into the 60's a lot.

Im idling about 45 and up to 52 under load but it can vary by up to 4 when i swich the neons on.

Yeah, mine idles at about 30-40 up to around 50 under load. It has never passed 52.

Motherboard Monitor 5 but it all depends on how accurate your motherboard's probes are.

and how would one find out if the probes are infact accurate
