Oldie - Socket A 'Thunderbird' core CPU temperatures

[Roll]

My mates just got hold of an old socket A 'Thunderbird' core CPU which he's using to build a file server. Its the 1.1 Ghz model so it should be plenty powerful enough for the job.

We noticed that it idles at between 43 and 47 using a factory AMD cooler (everything running at stock speed). Initially I thought that this was a bit high, but I also seem to remember that these old CPUs ran quite hot. If anyone can confirm this it would be helpful before we go about investigating if there may be a problem somewhere.

Thanks for any replies

Cheers guys, pretty much confirms what I thought.

Judging by some of the temperatures you had with yours we seem to be doing quite well so I think we'll probably just leave it as it is. If the CPU can take towards 65 then it gives us quite a bit of room before there may be problems.

Thanks again
