cpu temperature ?

frim · June 29th, 2008, 14:14

hey guys just overclocked my cpu to 3GHz
so when i do nothing the cpu are at :
processeur : 12 C
cpu1/core1 : 51 C
cpu2/core2 : 51 C
but when i play pcsx2 they are/go up to :
processeur : 32 C
cpu1/core1 : 69 C
cpu2/core2 : 69 C

is it normal ?

yeah its normal for the CPU to get hotter when its not idle

and those temps look alright; as long as its not passing 70C i think its safe.

Assuming your CPU is an early conroe Core 2 Duo (E6xxx), the suggested temperature under load is 65C. PCSX2 doesn't stress the CPU 100% either. Download a program called Orthos and run the Small FFT test.

get an aftermarket CPU cooler. my $15 OCZ Vanquisher lowered my temperature by ~12C.

Your temperature sounds right for the stock cooler. They suck
