    Hi, what is the optimum CPU temperature?

    Reply Contact

    Hi, I found a really good piece of free software that shows the temperature info and a lot more.

    Saw it here :

    http://www.modernstreet.com/useful-software/siw-a-great-tool-to-check-your-system-info/

    I installed the software and it rocks!! I'm running an AMD 64 X2 3800 (65 W) and Asus mother board

    Can you tell me what is a healthy temperature for the CPU? Like my reading on my machine shows the :

    CPU Core 0 and CPU Core 1 as usually around 20 celcius

    and GPU  = 56 celcius (is that stands for General Processing Unit? Is it the hard drive?)

    Thanks!

    Can someone tell me whether AMD is better or should I get an Intel next?

     for AMD i would say any thing under 55C is fine. GPU = Graphics Processing unit (Video card) 56c is normal mine is 75C at idle :D

    Thanks!

    Geeked  I don't know too much about this kind of thing, but your answer is a relief.

    "GPU = general processing unit" ??? lol, just a guess.
