Just wondering what temps yours are running at during these summer months? (or rather, when its quite warm :p )

Weird question i know but im just checking if mine is too hot, its 41c at the moment (baring in mind my windows broken, just a fan in here). Used to be 32c when i first bought it, i've re applied Arctic Silver again today but during games it hits 51c, its got an AC freezer pro on it - is this a normal temp?

That's fine, mine idle at 39/40c and the highest I've seen them go up to was 58c but that was with my case closed. With the side off and a fan blowing into it, temps don't go above 54c. This is with a Akasa Evo120.

Mine sits around 41c at idle and 54c-56c when running games like Oblivion etc. I have mine clocked to 2.6Ghz in a Antec Sonata 2 case, so not the best cooling but its nice and quiet.

My Opty 148 runs at 2.9GHz in a shuttle. Load temps hit 60deg. 3GHz hits 65deg and requires more than stock volts so I only run at this speed for benching.

whats the best way of measuring temp?

I have never really looked into this even though I should

I currently have an Opty 170 with a freezer pro only doing 2.5Ghz on an Abit crossfire board until I can change my psu

Ah doesn't seem as bad as i thought then :p - Was a bit worried as people used to mention 50c+ being too high for an opteron, forgot to mention mines @ 2.5 but going by everyones temps it looks to be normal then.

Cheers people :)
