I run an Athlon 64 3400 with cool and queit, my processor slows down to |
| 9 |
800MHz while idle and the temp is around 32C. Under full load it gets |
| 10 |
to 38C ~ 42C depending on room temperature. IIRC when I first built this |
| 11 |
rig, I had a similar problem where the CPU never cooled down. After a |
| 12 |
bit of research I determined I may have used too much thermal paste |
| 13 |
between the CPU and heat sink. After removing the old paste and |
| 14 |
reapplying a very very thin coat my system seems to run cooler. In the |
| 15 |
dead of winter I have seen the CPU idle as low as 28C (mind you my |
| 16 |
ambient room temp in the winter is about 17C). |
