AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.1 GHz Temperature
Appreciate some assistance.
Looking for some guidance on the maximum temperature an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.1GHz CPU can endure without damage.
NOT into overclocking!!
Looked at the AMD website, but can't seem to find specifics.
Any ideas?

I'm with you on that one FZWG. AMD's site is hard to navigate. Anyway, all technical documents I have reviewed on DURON and ATHLON Processors, from 600 to 2100 Mhz, show DIE TEMPERATURES of 90 C.
Goes without saying that running a CPU that hot and borderline very much limits lifetime expectancy.
I've been into temperatures and cooling very much myself (XP 1.53). I'd say anything beneath 50C should be acceptable operating/full load temperature for your CPU.
30's to 40's would be best.
If you want to learn more details, there's plenty of good advice in the OPERATION DELTA links in this forum.
Enjoy

The only advice AMD gives is a heatsink temperature not to exceed 70C. Unfortunately few people bother to put thermocouples in their heatsinks. I agree qith K G G, anything around 50C (as measured by your motherboard)is fine. It's pretty hard to get to 40C and lower without an exotic heatsink.

Thank you for the replies and the info.
Ended up getting a fan for the case. Temp went down from 140*F to about 123*F.
Also checking VCool software.

I would suggest that you install an exhaust fan.
I installed one here about 3 weeks ago, did not see a real change at that time. Last night I moved the exhaust fan up to the top slot on back panel next to the PS and CPU and the AGP video card. Computer has been running for about 6 hrs. now and the temp. on the cpu is 25.4C. Had been running at about 32.0C.
Oh yes, I am running AMD T-bird 1.3. There are a total of 6 fans in this computer. PS,CPU,video card,chipset fan, exhaust fan, and case fan. Kind of noisey but better a little noise than a bad smell from fried cpu.
Cheers, mac
