Normal temps for a Barton 2800+ ???

[Gouki]

My brother just recently upgraded his machine to a Barton 2800+ and it's running quite a bit hotter then his previous chip (an XP 1700+).

Before his hottest temps were 105F (at Full Load) and with his new chip he's running about 120F (again at Full Load). At idle the temps drop to about 114F.

Just curious if this is about normal for this chip? Here's a bit more info on the chip:

AXCA 2800+ 0346

Another question while I'm at it, anyone have good success with overclocking on this particular stepping? If so how far were you able to push it?

Thanks in advance!

120f =48c that is fine...don't even wory untill you get into the high 50s atleast

btw I hate farenhiet only us and this little tiny country are the only ones not on metric

Ok cool.

The high 50's?!?!? Wow

Ya I'm used to using Celcius but my bro is used to Farenheit. That's what he gave me and I was too lazy to convert. lol.

Thanks for the reply!

My 2800 maxes out around 50c, granted it's been overclocked (2.4g) but my PC also doubles as an airodynamic proving ground.

i idle at around 43 C and load at about 48 C. pretty good temps with all those fans. total of 5 running fans, four out-take, one in-take. on and i use a 2500+

heh my 2600+ (oced to 3200+) has normal temp of 40C and full load temp of 42C. course i got slk947u heatsink and 90mm fan

[extreme_gamer]

well i dont have very much, if any, thermal compound, which raises my temp a lot

My XP3000+ runs at 33C idle, and under full load I come around 37-38C.

But when I clock it up to 2.4Ghz, it'll do 40C idle and about 45-46C full load.

It is btw the 400Mhz version of the XP3000+ And I use a thermalright SLK-900A with AS5 to cool it.

I've got my 2500+ running at 3200+ speed stock voltage. I see 34°C idle and around 38°C load using a Koolance exos. The best part? It's dang near dead silent.

heh my 92mm is probably silent though i cant tell over the 4 80mm case fans
currently 19C system temp and 27.5C cpu
