[wellylug] OT: CPU Temperature

[Jamie Dobbs]

Following on from my "64-bit Linux" thread [thanks for the replies guys, I
think I'll stick with Gentoo..... again!:-)... compile times are
FANTASTIC!

I note that the monitoring of CPU core temperature (from BIOS) states that
the core is running at 65 degrees celsius and case temperature is at 29 to
30 degrees.

Should I be concerned about these figures? At the moment I am using the
supplied AMD HSF and a single case fan, would adding another case fan
help? Do I need to bother?

I note that the BIOS suggests shutdown at 75 degree C so assume that
running at 65 is OK, but just want to check with anyone else who might
have a similar CPU what it is ruuning at.

Cheers

Jamie
