What chip?
Most chpis will have a safe protect feature that it will shut itself down at a certain temp. This temp can vary anywhere between 65C and 85C depending on the chip
Well I just wanted a general range
I'm planing to OC a Athlon XP
thanks
I would say stay under 60°C to be safe. If you can set an automatic shutdown with your motherboard then set it to shutdown at 65 or 70°C.
The question should be what temp it should hold when running.
T-birds and some xp's burn at 95c, some xp's at 85c, if I remember correctly.
But exact figures doesn't matter as you don't what it hit temps anywhere near that high.
If yours ran at 50c idle, I'd say that was a little bit hot.
would most motherboards have that type of setting?
My XP 2600+ runs at 52 or 51 idling.. I thought that was normal? I'm not a big OC'er nor do I spend any money on cooling except that I have 4 case fans..
I prefer to have mine run idle at least a bit below 50c, preferably below 40c. And around 50c at the very most under full load.Quote:

The ideal would be to have it run close to room temperature, but that requires a lot. At any rate, if it isn't OC'd 50c is definitely a bit high, but not a cause to worry (and probably quite normal).
What I want is to have it run no more than 5 degrees higher than my mobo, this is a personal preference tho'.

that only with Intel's........... AMD doesnt have that feature :(
most decent motherboards, yes...... if you have an AMD, that your only protection :(Quote:

right now i dont have my 2600+ OCed (will be doing so soon though ;))
it runs (load) @ 46 C
if yours runs idle @ 52, dont worry....... just watch the temps closely under full load...... an make sure you have the shutdown temps set

I thought the A64's did the thermal shutdown thing at 70c.
