Ideal Temp

dudley123 · 01-June-03, 04:18 PM

Hey everyone hows it going. I just picked my computer up and it looks awesome. I intstalled a LCD readout in myu case. It is somewhat of a pre-mod but i am proud of it i did a few things to it. Anyways i was wondering what the ideal Temperature was for a gaming computer. I am averaging 84 degrees when playing Battle field 42'. Please let me know. if I need to add more fans or go all out and get a water cooler.

84F while gaming is pretty high for an original AMD K6 CPU. That is what you are running, right?

That was case temp that is. Let me know what you think.

Still not entirely clear on exactly what you are talking about. Is the 85 in C or F? Is that your case temp or CPU?

If it is your CPU, you are much better than ok. If it is your case temp, I'd advise getting some air in there by adding a fan or two. The hotter the air is in your case, the hotter your CPU is going to be.

Heat is your ENEMY!

I think thats fine dudley, nothing to worry about unless performance is lagging? Is it?

"That was case temp that is. Let me know what you think."

85F is around 29C, that's not too bad for a case temp if the ambient temp is around 73F or so. You may want to get a tad more circulation in there, but nothing to get wrapped around the axle about.
