2500xpm, running prime95 got up to 67c once. haha the thing is still alive running 53c idle.
 
max i got was 56 using a crappy, maybe slightly better then stock kingwin copper cooler on my a64 during p95. NEVER skimp on the heatsink. and this was recorded using abits eq, which is notirous for over reading temps by 10º to 13ºC. now that i got my xp90(lapped by tuesday!) and my tornado, im expecting 42 load, which is the only thing that matters cause you all should be folding 24/7, unless your gaming or encoding :D .
 
Mine has never gotten very hot, 45C was the max, but normally around 40C full load. My grandparents didn't listen to my advice after the fan on their heatsink died though and got their 2200+ Sempron idling at 73C. Then my dumb ass forgot to wait for it to cool down before putting on the fan. Fingers got abused that day.
 
My 1800+ hit around 75ish after I forgot to plug in the fan.

shadow what are you using for a heatsink, and are you ocing your 3200+?? im doing some extensive overclocking with my 2800+ from 1.8 to 2.36 and not stopping till i hit 2.5ghz :D ! also, check out http://www.bleedinedge.com/reviews/abit_asus_temps/abit_asus_temps_01.html and get the real scoop on abit and asus temp monitoring software. thats why im buying me some temp probes and getting the real deal on temp issues

Using the retail heatsink. I put on a 70mm to 80mm adapter and used a quieter 30dba, 32 cfm fan, and applied some ceramique. Idle temps with psu fan on low are around 35C, and on high are 30C or so. When I used the straight retail fan and thermal pad I would get idle temps in the mid to high 20Cs. Not overclocking currently (supid k8v and it's no agp/pci lock), but I did bump up the fsb to 210 for a new days and the temps actually went down
 
my stupid piece of shit thermalright is only keeping my CPU at 53 on a load right now. I'm too lazy to reseat it. Maybe tomarrow I will. I used to get a max of 40-42. But the absolute max I've ever gotten was close to 60. BTW this is with my 2500 (unlocked barton. Mines regular old barton I got 2 years ago, not you're new wussy "mobile' fancy pants shit that OC's without using your brain :eek: , lol) NF7-S, SLK-900U, and a crappy thermaltake smart fan 2, turned down to about 3500RPM's
 
I saw a guy that "somehow" plugged in an old pentium mmx in wrong.. it fried so bad that I took the chip and broke it in half with my fingers! lol.
 
I had an Athlon T-Bird 1.33GHz CPu that used to run at 90C on load. I never had any problems with it and always figured the readings were just inaccurate. I recently found that there was no thermal grease on the CPU (first computer I ever built), so I put some Arctic Silver on it. The temperatures are significantly lower than what they used to be and I have no idea how this thing ever ran that hot without any problems.

I guess the only problem I ever hard with it, and still have with it, is that it won't actually run at 1333; it runs at 1300 and below.
 
I built a system for someone with a Prescott core Celeron. I can't think of the speed, 2.something. I put the system together, installed XP. I was configuring XP and installing office; the computer was going super slow, so I installed mbm to check the temps. It was running at 82c. I didn't beleave it so I rebooted into the BIOS and it said 85c. Pulled it apart and saw the heatsink was held up on a corner. The majority of the heatsink wasn't touching. Thank god for Intel's thermal protection. The chip ran over an hour under heavy load with basically no heatsink. I am sure I took a chunk out of its life span.

Im using a Asus P4C800-E board and the temp probes are all messed up. They never have been right from day one. Every second they update the temp jumps all over the place, from 20C to 35C then back down to 28. And thats just sitting there idle! I stuck a probe right next to the slug, actually touching it and the real idle temp read 31C, maybe +/- .5C.

I believe this is faulty hardware not software. Same faulty readings happen in the bios as well as mbm, and speedfan.

Highest temp I have ever seen is 42C, has a 5% OC right now on it (love that autoOC feature!) Ill go futher when I build a chiller in the near future, I am still a bit skeptical with condensation and all.
 
96C, the aluminum fan on an SLK 900U failed, didn't look into my windowed case to notice it untill AFTER my screen started artifacting. Shut that baby off so fast I was still able to open the side and burn my hand on the fan.

 
Its amazing how hot that little piece of hardware can get, I mean for what such little voltage is going to it!
 
55c.... room temp was over 90f.

As for non-CPU temps, had a Voodoo Banshee that got so hot it burned my hand, and made a mark that looked like the heatsink. :(
 
One day, I was at work and got back home to see my water pump failed and my poor little Duron 750 was running at 96C. My roomate told me he was hearing the alarm for like 3-4h and couldn't do anything since my door was locked!! ;) This stupid ASUS board never shutted down the PC (and it was set in BIOS). Surprisingly, the poor little thing still work! :eek:
 
One cold morning I booted into windows to find that my A64 was running 68C. Quickly shut it down and realized my pump wasnt running. Touched the CPU block and wow, that was searing hot.
 
:eek: . this thread was on right when my highest temp happened! i was in the shower while the comp was running full load with WMP, defrager, mobo moniter 5, artifact test all on at the same time. Tt blower set to max and all of a sudden my sister banged on the door saying my comp was making a weird sound. ignored her and came out, heard sirens and found a emssage stating "warning, CPu has gone over 70c". woop hit the record for my xp-m . and i know it can get higher. need as5 and sl-97..
edit: wait never mind, it happened at ~11:30
 
132 on my fx55 when I had air in waterblock and forgot to turn pump on.
 
i once ran a K6_II processor w/out a fan for several hours... after rebooting, i entered the bios and the temp read 85º... the chip still worked tho :D
 
Proc with the stock cooler (before XP-90 + panaflo m1bx) load temps were a constant 65 c.. now its around 35 c - search for my temp thread to see the differences. :)

I wonder how accurate that sensor was, those things fried at the drop of a hat...
 
I had my CPU hit 70 because I had the HSF rotated the wrong way. :p

It was a 2500+ Barton.
 
Got nearly 70°C with an old 1GHz Athlon Thunderbird.
 
I don't think mine counts, but 55c on my old XP-1700 w/ Thermoengine and Delta Blacklabel.

However, it was on purpose. I had the fan unplugged til the temp hit 55c so the thermal crap would melt. Worked great when fan was plugged in, I think I maxed 37c full load @ 2.2Ghz.
 
42C in the summer. My full load temp now in the winter is 36C. This machine is pretty quiet too. Specs in sig.

Ya. After I shit myself when I saw temps. I didn't know pump wasnt on and I could see water boiling in block, because it was mixed with air.
 
They highest I've seen is 58c on my 3200+ @ 2.7ghz.

That was after a few hours of prime95 with my CPU fan turned down to half speed.
 
Had a p4 2.4 with stock cooler installed....was idling at 64-67c...scary?? well load would hit 87c!!!

After AS5 and a Zalman all copper fan heat sink....43c MAX after 24 hour prime95 load.
 
my 560J shut down at 70 C when I was trying to run Prime95 while OCed to 4.3GHz
 
i've never tried using this yahoo photo hosting before, so i'm sorry if this does not work correctly: http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/df...a.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dfi_daishi/my_photos

highest temp ever ~300C or whatever the melting point of led it.

some SM components on the chip package melted their solder and slid a bit.

if someone can suggest a good, free hosting service for my documenting images, i can put up bigger, higher quality images.

I hit 80+ according to the probe on my cpu fan controller on my xp 2100 when the fan failed, bad thing is the probe was always registered 5-7 degrees cooler than what the motherboard probe said. I replaced the fan and it still worked fine.
 
my old Athlon XP 2000+ used to run about 58C. it never moved much, since it was incapable of running games... or anything else, for that matter... just kinda sat there for internet and email.
 
Fan died on my Thermaltake Volcano cooling an oced 2000+ a few years back while running some folding software. I checked my LCD thermal sensor, and couldnt believe what I saw.. 93C. The comp was locked at a blue screen, and none of the front switches would turn it off. I unplugged it and let it sit for a while, as the heatsink was hot enough to roast a finger. I just replaced the fan and turned it back on, and it still worked flawlessly.
 
I woke up to a blue screen with my external thermistor reading 90C...

I will never shut off automatic reboots ever again...
 
had a chap call in to say his Comp was locking up after a few mins of watching video / crunching data. Everything else was fine - word processing etc..

His 1.5Ghz T-Bird was IDLING at 125c. Man, he had a golden chip right there - imagine what could have been done with that CPU in hands of some of you guys?! :eek:
