duron temp?

[on1]

ok i was wondering if 20 degres c is a good temp for a duron 750 (not doing any work and just in the bios)

im using the Fop-38 heaksink/fan
and artic silver 2

i was also wondering if a 300w powersupply will run it

(if you dont understand what im talking about jus say)

300W is recommended by AMD, but they do have a specific list of 'approved' PSUs.... which doesn't necessarily mean that it won't work if yours is not on the list http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

As for 20C... well, that's very low... is this just after startup??

that 20c is after 15mins just running in the bios (no work)

A 250watt PSU is fine. So your 300watt one should also be OK.


Your temp is also very good. What is it at 100% CPU usage?

ive tryed a 230w power supply and it wouldnt boot (ive ordered a 300w)

so until i get my 300w i cant run the hard drive or anything else (just the bare minimium). so i cant test it at 100%

im also thinking of overclocking to 1000 (will that be posible?)

No guarantees with overclocking - every chip's different... but good luck http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

That's an excellent temp for a duron 750.Mine under no load is 29 degrees but under full load it can read 60 degree's. I want a FOP-38 but first I gotta find somewhere to get it, I ain't got a credit card so I can't order online.

i bought my processor already unlocked (im also using an abit kt7 mobo)

and i think that the fop38 is just a fop 32-1 with a delta fan.

i buy my stuff from overclockers.co.uk

and thanks for the help ppl

Hey there - good to see a fellow from the other side of the pond http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

I buy from either OCUK or OCS ( http://www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk ) Depends who stox what I want.

I'm around OCS BBS... but under a slightly different name... still Simpsons, though http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif
