Just wanna know the idle temperatures for those using old skool socket 754 athlon or sempron processors... with AIR COOLING only, how much is your idle temperatures.

If you've got a good heatsink/CPU cooler to recommend for this socket, please do share with us

*edit*

Remember, AIR COOLING only! For those who are using watercooling or other super duper high end method of cooling and accidently voted, then please confess by posting what cooler you are using and your temperatures. I wanna make sure those who get >34 degrees are genuine air cooling.

Sempron can?



Idling at 37C - Sempron 2800 @ 2400MHZ, Stock VCore.

Actually was looking for Athlon users but thanks for reporting in! At least we know how are socket 754 owners doing. The one big problem I'm facing now is that no matter how I try, the temperatures always seem high. I guess its the heat problem with s754 procs?

same problem with u. but i m using sempron 2500 oc to 2.1GHz. initially, my cpu idle temp is around 35 degree celcius, that was reeeeal cool. after few months, it went up as high as 50 in hot day time. and around 45 degrees at night time. reapply the heat compound the problem still persist. decided to get an Artic Silver 5, but dunno can solve the problem or not.

Gosh.. even sempron also has this heating up problem? Btw eduwave... you're using stock cooler or aftermarket ones?

Idle at 50C? I guess something is wrond with the cooling. How much vcore do you feed?

Last time I used 939 athlon 64 3000+ Venice, idle was at 28/29. So much head room for overclocking.

default vcore, as the vcore cant b adjusted. my sempron 2500 is 90nm btw.

Yes I know socket 939 has so much headroom to overclock.... but thats not what we're here for. I just want to know what is the temperatures that everyone who uses aftermarket or stock cooling for socket 754 is getting.

hey, if there response isnt that good, then u might have to close the thread yeah

There are hundreds of socket 754 users in the forum. I just need a fraction of them to vote in here... why do we need to close this thread?

what's the purpose of this pole anyway? i mean, let say u got 50 forumer voted their temp, then what u goin to do bout it just asking only, don't be mad

I've got 50 votes already then I'll know the limitation of socket 754. So then I know that buying an even more powerful/expensive heatsink won't solve the problem of heat...

well, if that's the case, what's ur budget for it? then u can buy the best hestsink within ur budget lor

although there are alot of people, not many like to respond nor do they come to this section much.
that was just a heads up for u

Well, then it is the good courtesy of the cooling and hard modding guys to keep this thread alive..

Gosh... those who have 34 degrees and below, what cooler you guys use? Please don't tell me the watercooling gang came and vote

i think im gonna buy a artic silver liao, this evening my cpu went up to as high as 50 degree celcius, and it is raining day. i use stock cooler btw.

Arctic Silver won't let you drop 10 degrees wor...

maybe 2 or 3 also good. dunno why my sempron palermo 90nm even at default speed 1.4GHz default vcore 1.4v, my temp is so high. shuld b around 35 degrees or less. i try to touch the heatsink and guess what? it is cold. which means the heat didn conduct well between the processor and heatsink. i know how to apply an efficient layer of heat compound as i hv did it many times. i suspect it mayb a bug for some AMD 90nm processor that it cant spread heat over the small core which we apply the heat compound....

Or maybe the temp sensor problem. I had the same problem during s462 days. The temp sensor lies beneath the processor. Had to bent it upward to make good contact.
