Average temperatures?

[Porphyria]

My CPU usually idles at about 84-86, but I let F@H run over night, and it was close to 120. Is this common? Is this hurtful? Should I get some more fans?

Thanks.

Depends - are you talking Celsius or Farenheit AMD or Intel ?

Farenheight, Intel.

i don't think that sounds way off. More fans are always helpful. Another thing is a new heatsink. One guy that lived on my floor at school was folding with his 2.8c stock heatsink and speed and his started hitting like 140-160F we got him a thermalright heatsink with the heatpipes and now it never goes about like 105F with folding running 24/7

Heatsink is like$50 that is only bad thing. The same company makes some that look just like it for around 30-40 without heatpipe technology, but they are still all copper.

My Athlon64 runs 118-120, slightly more with the door to the CPU hutch closed, but it hasn't hurt it at all. Your temps are well under spec, so don't worry about it.

I suppose it's not too bad then, CPU running at 109 at 100%. Then again, it's a 2.4b not yet OCed (It'll be around 2.8 once I get my damn ram).

For the love of god, please use celcius!

My TBird used to run around 95 Centigrade, my XP1800 running at 1.6 usually gets about 52-64 depending on ambient and voltage.

My AMD 2600+ with slight oc shows 58-65C with motherboard monitor. It just completed its 1000th WU!
