    Safe Temp for an AMD T-Bird 1.1Ghz?

    What safe operating temp for the T-Bird 1.1 ?
    Mine was running at around 101Deg after i first installed it a few days ago but now its running at around 130.
    I used thermal paste along with the original HS and fan that came with my T-Bird 800...........the T-Bird 1.1 did not come with a fan or heatsink. Any help here would be appreciated.

    I have a T-Bird 1.2/200 that got sort of "twitchy" when it got up over about 51-52°C (it was OC'ed to 1.4/266 at 1.85vcore). Temps were read off of an Asus A7V133 mobo (some folks will tell you that Asus tended to read temps a bit higher than actual). I tried to keep it no higher than mid-40's°C.

    Try to keep it under 130F. About 110F will be just fine.

    I turned one of my exhaust fans to blow over the CPU seemed to knock it donw about 10Deg.........Running at around 120 now.
    Think i might need a better HS & Fan?
    The one im using now is a Cooler Master with Arctic Silver.....not sure about the paste but thats what i had laying around when i installed it. Ill see how it runs.

    Well, it's been two months, summer came and my 1GHz T-Bird now runs 60°C full load 24/7, that would be around 140F ... cooled by GlobalWin FSP82
    Will have to check on paste now ...

    Anywhere up to about 55C is fine

    Put 3 case fans (intake/2 exhaust) back to work, now it's 51°C, still no new paste applied

    On the system I just sold, I had a 1.01 GHz Athlon T-Bird, it got flaky around 132 F (EP-8KHA Diode report)

    Using a Vantec Aeroflow and Some Arctic silver, the Processor would run at 99 F (89 F Ambient) when not stressed and about 104 F (90 F Ambient) when under load.

    Overclocked to 1.13 ghz it would run at 102 F (91 F Ambient) and 114 F (91 F Ambient) under load.

    Those are pretty safe ranges, so I'd definately recommend the combination I was using if you have some cash to throw around.

    just so you know, to get the 'real' internal core temp of the Athlon T-Birds, I found taking the diode redout from the mobo and adding between 25~30 F was what the actual internal temperature of the processor is, the max temp they can take is 186 F internal temperature, IIRC, and thats when they die, not just start flaking out, so my "realistic" internal Core temps were around 130F ~ 150F, flaky level is about 162 F (132F + 30F marginal error = 162, 20 points off from the dangerous 186 F temp)

    Thats all 'personal footnotes' I keep in mind about kooling T-Birds and Duron, it varies from person to person and general thermal situations. Either way, hope that was helpful
