I have my 2100+ running at 1831ghz and under really heavy load (benchmarks or a 3 hour dvd movie or unreal 2 for hours on end it doesnt get higher thatn 55-57c I used to have a t-bird that ran (at one point) as hot as 75-80 and it never got damaged I bought an AX7 witha panaflo fan and my temp dropped to about 55. then i got this athlon xp2100+ and it ran at about 60 under load until i got two akasa case fans installed right next to it which dropped a 700 mhz faster chip 5 degrees lower than my original chip. I thik 55 -65 is a safe enough temp jsut dont get too pushy.

btw which way should the cpu fan be blowing up or down???? I always get confused

[braindonor]

Fan should blow down

volcano 7 PLUS is the best:

cpu temp should be 10 - 20 degrees C more than system temp unless extremely overclocked. System temp close to room temp is the ideal. Wiggo is in a hot room cuz he is down under, but his cpu is coolin fine. Jamie, if he is in England, needs to cool his case some.

My system exhaust fan runs in my room currently runs at 3212 - 3228.

My Case temp is is currently 39C normally averages 32C +

my 2100xp temp is 53 degrees. Can someone please take a look at the ppl who make my case an give me an idea if i need a better case. http://www.task.com.tw I mean i have 2700ddr ram. I had to make the enermax fit by bending some flaps. i don't think i have the right case. another thing is that ocassionally when i run my athlon xp at 1.73 normal 2100 bios settings. Yesterday my comp just did loads of wird things, gave me a blue screen - shut down and froze on boot up. But if i have a so called excellent CPU cooler an i have to run it on high every time. i still cant go above 133 user define. WIll a newer abit motherboard make all the difference? with these problems. The new PSU allows me to run CPU at all at 1.73 133mhz, sometimes it runs fine at 133. i don't get freezing problems and stuff when i run it at 100mxh front side bus. Does this mean that it runs as seen as a 1500+ - 1600+ AthlonXP. this is what regsiters in my bios at the only two 100 bus settings i have for Soft Menu 3 for the KG7 RAID but if it still freezes and stuff it can not now be the PSU. Its one of the best available. Its either the asus graphic card that doesn't like running on my ABIT mobo or the vice versa
