AMD Althon T-Bird Temps

[techtvman]

I have an AMD Athlon T-Bird @ 1.4GHz and I was wondering what is the normal operating temp of the AMD T-Birds @ 1.4GHz. Currently i'm using stock heatsink cooling and right now my temp is 128*F

[wildbilly2k]

i would be able to help you if i knew your temperature in celcius and your cpu stock speed

[JDXNC]

You have one of the hottest CPU's ever made to start with. No getting around it, the high end T-birds run hot, I have a 1.33Ghz AXIA and it idles at 46C and full load around 53-55C. One thing though, the stock HSF sucks, plain and simple, it "works" but that bout it. Don't plan on any OC'ing, espicially with that chip untill you get a better HSF.

i use to have a 1.2 tbird i got to 1.5 on air but it was running like 58c and i had an sk6 with 60mm 40cfm ystech(which is now on my 1900+) and the voltage was like 1.9

[techtvman]

the stock speed is 1400MHz and in *C is 53*C

[wildbilly2k]

the stock speed is 1400MHz and in *C is 53*C


ok that is quite high but i though you had overclocked your cpu i wouldnt feel safe runniny mine at that for a decent cooler go volcano 7 for hard core go slk800 with tornado(loud) or get a smart fan 2 which can be adjusted

53 C!

Man, I get afraid when my 1700+ goes about 45 C...

[Lem6687]

its time to come to every computers worse dream....underclocking....or get rid of that shitty heatsink and get a thermalright :D

[wildbilly2k]

i have an sk6 which cooled my old tbird well so yeah got thermalright

[techtvman]

I'd like to go water cooling and then try overclocking but its cheaper just to get a koolance case w/it built in plus those cases have windows as well which i would also like to have.

[wildbilly2k]

what is wrong with cutting your own window believe me i have cute about 3 and it isnt that hard

[techtvman]

I know it isnt hard i could do it but like i said i would like to go watercooling and its cheaper just to get a new case that has watercooling built in like the koolance cases plus those koolance cases already have windows so i wouldnt have to do anything

[n0strax]

but where's the fun in that?

[wildbilly2k]

yeah i do all my mods myself

[techtvman]

unless u can find me a cheaper way to put watercooling into my case

[wildbilly2k]

www.dtekcustoms.com

what you need:

heatercore: autozone 86 chevette 16$
waterblock:tc 4 aluminum top from dtekcustoms 40$
pump: via aqua 370gph from dtekcustoms 25$
tubing: tygon or that new stuff from dtek customs 15$
t line:dtek customs 2$

if i missed any someone please tell me so i can edit this reply

[n0strax]

you need water!

[techtvman]

whats the heatercore for?

[techtvman]

or how about one of those kits they offer, when they get that part of their site back up, whats better and cheaper kit or separates? and is it going to be better than what koolance has to offer?

[wildbilly2k]

it is about the same as koolance maybe a little less and is sooooo much cheaper but the heatercore is for taking the heat out of the water :D

i have a t- bird 1.4ghz and a ecs k7s5a and my fsb is at 150 and i overclocked it to 1.575 ghz at full it only gose up to 45*c playing ut2k3 for 3 hours i have the stock amd heat sink but i put a volcano 2 fan on it it dose like 38 cfm i used silver compond on it. that makes it work great if i am not doing anything its at 36*c anyway u look at it thats cold.
i have a west dig 100 gig with 8 mb so its fast and a 20 gig in their too also i have a kyro 2 vid card so my sys is sweet i love it and i made it on the cheap i changed my fans around and got it way down. tv tuners too soon i want teech tv comcast took it away :( and will not let me get no matter what service i get 36*normal /42*full

[apeter]

techtvman, if you plan on going through all that trouble why don't you just uprgrade?

[magnus33]

try this
its the only cooling program that i have found that works and is perfectly stable; also has no affect on system performance

your tmeps can drop up to ten degrees

never hurts to try and this one is worth it

[aelx]

53 C!

Man, I get afraid when my 1700+ goes about 45 C...
you get scared if it hits 45C? wow.

[SpeedFreak]

my Tbird 1.1GHz used to run 55-65C and lock up with plain CoolerMaster heatsink i got with it, until i got a Vantec 6035 and then the temps dropped 10-15C. doesn't get above 45-47C now. I also use the Vantec 6040H on my 2200+ and keeps temps nice and managable.

[jlambert]

Max I got with my 1ghz @ 1.33ghz was 39C. Thats using a Cooler Master HAV-V81 at full speed.
