What are your CPU and Motherboard temperatures?


I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz processor and its temperature is 45 C.
My MOBO is ASUS P5P SE and its temperature is also between 40-50C!

I feel that I have a problem or something. What about yours?

Off the top of my head I believe that 45C is ok for the processor. Is that at idle or at full load? I have an old P4 that idles at about 37C and at load gets up to about 60C. It's motherboard doesn't have a sensor for heat so I have no idea what it's at.

For a laptop that temp is absolutely fine. For a desktop it's a little high, but nothing to worry about.

I think coretemp seems to overread temps for me. In Windows my e6600 usually idles at 29-30C whereas in Linux it tends to be closer to 40C. Not sure what the actual idle temp is more recently though as its constantly folding (http://folding.stanford.edu/) and so sits at 50-55C (throttled to 1600MHz otherwise it's hitting 70C!).

On the other hand I have a knackered celeron laptop at home which idles somewhere from high 60's to low 70's.

EDIT: I also have a big ol' Zalman copper heatsink and fan on it.

I'd be inclined to trust the Linux one more. Windows is pretty flaky with temp readings.

My laptop sits on an ice box (a small metal box full of ice) and with a laptop cooler, with full ventilation, for when I'm gaming on it, so my CPU doesn't over heat. But when I'm just browsing the web, I'm sure my CPU gets cold... very cold hehe.

Why so much cooling? Well when your CPU over heats, it starts slow down so it doesn't fry. Which means low FPS for me and I can't have that. The cooler the better is what i always say.

Intel Quad Q9550 Core 30C idle 40-45C load (not overclocked otherwise add 5 - 10 C)
System 33-39C
Asus Nvidia 9600GT Fanless GPU 40 idle 70 - 75 load
Hard Drives 31 - 36C
All this in a Antec P182 case.

I got my temperatures from BIOS.

When I spend so long time (like 10 hours) on my computer (browsing, gaming, programming) and I restart my compute then I go to BIOS, I find my CPU temp is between 45-53C or something like that.

Even when I turn my computer on for the first time and go to BIOS, I find the temp between 40-50C

Is that normal? I worried cuz a computer shop told me that the normal temp should be between 10-25C

Logic: how can your CPU be 10C ? Are you sitting in a Fridge? CPU will always be above ambient unless you bathe your MB in liquid nitrogen.

I would suggest that whoever told you that was talking out of his buttocks. Anything from 35C up about 50C is groovy. Depends on the type of machine, the chip, the cooling setup and the latitude you live at!

I don't have anything fancy. Just the cooling fan & the heatsink that came with the CPU.

So that guy is completely an idiot! Actually I was really surprised when he told me that, that was a shock for me. Before having the new CPU (I had P4 3GHz with temp over 70C) that guy told me that the new Intel CPUs temperature are between 10-25C using the normal heatsink and fan that come with the CPU, so I kinda believed him cuz I thought that Intel made a new invention or something to beat AMD ;)

When he told me that, I asked myself a question: If I buy the new Intel CPU and buy a decent Asus cooler, what on earth the temperature will be? Maybe under 0..LOOL!

He did that just to let me buy the new CPU.....but actually Intel Core 2 Duo is wonderful.

This is something fairly subjective.

If you live somewhere warm then your CPU will run hotter by default. Normally you should expect around 30-40c idle on a Core 2 Duo and up to around 70c max under load. AMD's are a bit more flaky when it comes to temps but I wouldn't worry if it's under 70-75c as that would be the Thermal Cutoff point(When the CPU starts to throttle speed before eventually turning off due to over heating).

Saying that a GPU can run surprisingly warm these days.I wouldn't be panicking if I saw 80-90c under load from these. Unless there's actually a problem, i.e. your Computer Slows down or it turns itself off I wouldn't worry too much about temperature. If you want to improve things then just buy some extra case fans to push more air through.

RealTemp is a good program for checking Temps as you can do a Sensor Test and Bench the temperature over a period of time.

Install sensors-applet then run:

It'll give you a nice little temp monitoring applet that you can add to a panel.

It's a cool day today so I'm running at a good 100F (38C) but on really warm days I've gotten to over 200F (93C). I don't know, it sounds a bit unrealistic. My laptop's pretty good about not overheating, never happened to me in the two years I've had it.

My desktop has a Pentium 4 and is running at 38C, but when I open the case it drops to about 30/32C.

My server which has an Athlon XP 2000+ is running at about 50C.

The amount of heat depends on the stress of the processor and on how well your heatsink performs.

Desktop:
CPU - AMD Phenom X3 - 22°C idle - 50°C load
Motherboard - ASUS m2n68 - 30°C idle - 40°C load
Graphics card - ATI HD4850 - 35°C idle - 50°C load
Powersupply - Corsair 450W HS - 25°C idle - 50°C load

Cooling:
Scythe Mini Ninja for CPU
Sapphire Vapor-X cooling for GPU
2 120mm case fans "pushing" air
1 80mm case fan pulling air

PSU temp is measured using temperature sensors at the exhaust fan.

Mine isn't really supposed to be cool, it is more of a silent computer, all fans are undervolted to about 7V and the CPU fan is controlled to only speed up once the CPU reaches about 40°C.
On Windows the GPU is underclocked and fanspeed reduced to 20%.

Laptop:

Idle temps are worthless most of the time, it is load that you need to worry about. I have a core i7 920 sitting at 3.2Ghz. Idle, the cores sit at ~42C but load never hits more than ~73C. My mainboard temps are a bit high though, ~53C, because the asus p6t6 SB runs hot from what I gather. You also have to factor in the ambient temp. My dorm is 26C. At home in the basement, it is 21C which makes everything much nicer.

The main point is, if it's working, you're fine.

I'd strongly disagree. a 130W CPU running in the 70+ on load ranges is something I would genuinely worry about.

My (current) 95W Phenom II has a critical temp of ~70C. My prior Athlonx2 125W, had a critical temp of 64C. With a Zalman cooler I never go north of ~45C on load, even in my 23-25C apartment.

I considered playing Nexuiz on the highest setting as being on a load, but I usually don't see these kind of temps unless I am running mprime.My CPU was above 50c but I added two fans to the front and the back of my case. I have also made a case mod on the top of my computer, that to my great surprise, actually cools very well. Possible because air rises, I can't really explain it any other way since a 120mm fan on the back og my case doesn't cool as well for some reason. My Ram is also overclocked so it could be that the fan is directly over the ram chips, keeping that heat from spreading to other hardware components.

http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=904&pictureid=4082

How can I check hard drive temps? I have a 120mm fan directly in front of both my drives but I was curious.

What do you define as load then? To me, it means small packages through prime95. That is one of the few ways to reach a true 100% all cores load. Something you will never hit in real world applications (besides folding) so if you're hitting 70s in that, you're fine. I've built and OCd many computers, air and liquid cooled, the 70s are fine for a p95 load.

I guess this depends on ones own comfort levels. I would try to improve my temps if they ever get above 60 for the cpu.

Yeah, its a challenge sometimes as I am into silent (quiet) computing. All my Fans are 120mm and only one runs at 1000rpm (CPU cooler) the other 4 (two exhaust, two intake) at 550 ~ 700 rpm. My 9600GT is fanless and my CPU a 9550 Quad.

These temperatures obviously depend on ambient air temperature and available ventilation around the computer.
CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo E8500) right now: 47C at near-idle load. This is autumn weather with ambient air temperature of around 25C and good ventilation.

Motherboard is usually around 50C to 55C. This temperatures doesn't change much, even between seasons.

My NVidia card (GeForce 9800GT with cooling fan) usually rates around 45C when idling, and 65C in summer with heavy processing load.

Intel Core T2050 at about 55C idle, when a kernel is being compiled using both processors at the maximum, the temperature is at about 82C(If I remember properly). I also have an Intel P4 Prescott at 3.2 Ghz, it runs idle at about 60C and when under heavy load goes to around 80C, it's a great singer with 2 fans on the chassis and one processor fan, and is a great big gas guzzler too. ;)

Since upgrading to Karmic, my laptop fan is a mess. I use an Acer laptop with a dual core intel chip and it is never less than 65 degrees. In fact, watching certain HD mkv files or encoding to ogg is enough to overheat the system and cause it to shutdown.

You do realize that 20C is 68F and that would mean his room would have to be less than that? At least lower than ~58F which I highly doubt for that processor. I know less about yours, but 25C still seems off though much more plausible. Even more, he is using the intel stock HS which is pure crud.

Room temp would really help pay a big role player, but if that pic of his PC is the one that has the snorkle to get outside case air, then idle its possible. Mind you it wouldnt be in my house. I would freeze. My uncle keeps his house like 52F during the summer, a nuclear reactor wouldnt over heat in his house. I prefer to stay outside. :-)

Room temp at my house it set to 68F. With the case and cooling fans I have. 25C idle is normal. But can go higher to like 35C under load (hour of world of warcraft).

I've worked hard to get a cool system, it used be filled with dust, and the CPU would sit at 50C idle, and rocket to 66C the moment you put load on it.

A good cleaning, and an additional 120mm fan pushing air down on top of it brought down the heat immensely. I changed some PWM configs to make the CPU fan run faster too.

Its a 2993Mhz P IV
Idle - ~25C @ 2000Rpm
Load - ~35C (never above 37C) @ ~3000Rpm

Its constantly underload with Folding@Home :)

Motherboard is at 30C under load, can't remember what it is without load :)

I've a 1Ghz Pentium III that will sit happily maxed out at 100C with no cooling :) It doesn't bother it :)

My e8400 @ 4ghz idles at 25C and load is 45-50C water cooled (for noise reasons)

I've worked hard to keep it cold, P IVs are damn hot chips :) I've got quite good airflow, its a very small case, but with 3 80mm and 1 120mm fan shifting alot of air :) Cable management helps too :) That and the huge stock cooler this came with, an 80mm fan with about a million fins :) Ill put up some pics later

Ambient temperatures have a lot to do with cpu/motherboard temps. This is in my shop, The heat was turned off all night, and the temp reached -22°C currently it is -14° outside and +12°C inside. See the screenshot.

CPU is an AMD X@ 3400+ with stock cooler, and no sides on the case.

Im at or bit under 30°C at idle
I get up around 45°C at full load

3 140mm case fans, 1 120 rear case fan, and stock cooler.
Its super quiet, except for one of the 140mm fans that I think has a bad bearing. $15 should replace it just fine

sdb is my OS drive, sda my media drive

This is on minimal load and the CPU scaled down to 1.9GHz (via cpufrequtils)

As I type right now all 4 cores of my CPU are at 35C, and my northbridge is at 45C.
That's with a Phenom II X4 955 and a 790FX chipset.

Are you posting these temps from Windows? The Sensors kernel module doesn't have drivers yet to read AMD K10 series CPU/chipset temp data yet. :confused:

Yeah from Windows 7 using the AMD Overdrive utilty. I've never got the temperature sensors to work in either Ubuntu, Fedora or openSUSE. There is a driver in the wild someplace that does work apparently, but I've yet to try it.

Yea, I've compiled it and have loaded it...it isn't in a state yet where it is worth the trouble. It only returns 2 temp values, and no fan speeds, and no voltages.

With my Zalman cooler under Win7 and my 720 turned into a quadcore, my box idles at ~30C with northbridge around 31C (in a 22C room).

That's the one yeah.

I get about 30-35C idle and roughly 50-55C under load after a few hours of Prime95. That is with the voltage dropped back to 1.22V, stock speed (I got sick of overclocking a long time ago), and with Cool N' Quiet enabled. The default 1.35V of the black edition Phenoms is waaay too high, I was getting roughly 60-65C with Prime95, and AMD themselves quote the max safe temperature for 24/7 usage at 62C.

Here are idle, gpu load, cpu load in that order. Ambient of 22C, fans on low speed.

CPU: 57 (idle)(x2)(x2 dual cores)
GPU: 61
Motherboard: 63
seems like theirs something wrong with one of the fanson my comp.
its not spinning up even as the temperatures are reaching 60.
now debating to myself wether to take off one of the dual cores.....
