hi i have a amd athalon xp 2800, 512mb of pc2700 ram, nvinia fx5700 video card, when i use motherboard monitor or pc wizard to check temps it says my cpu is 63oc and mainboard 127oc can this be right i have one fan sucking in at the front and one blowing out the back , any help would be great thanks danny
Hi danny245 I have pretty much the same setup as you and I found out that the Athlon XP 2800 is supposed to be at about 53c on stock cooling It also depends on your case fans as well. But cpu temps below 50c is recomended AMD says 85c is the limit but over 50c performance decreases quite a bit. Hopefully this info helps
thanks Nate i have just ordered some more ram a system exaust blower and a fan controller for my system, will i need special case fans for my fan controller or can i use the ones i installed also can i change my rpm of my cpu fan its a akasa fan and heatsink any help would be great danny
I do believe you should be able to use your existing fans you have in there now for the fan controller. Im not quite sure about the ? about your rpm of your cpu I dunno if any of this helps but hopefully it does
