AMD Duron 1.2GHZ

[Icebergoner]

Real simple and quick, I was wondering what temperature this chip should be running at or what are its safe zones. The minum/maximum in fahrenheit please. I've looked around the net but for some reason can't find it. I have no idea why but now I've got a new chip and want to take care of it. Your help is appreceated, Thanks.

System Operating Temperatures Will Vary


The operating temperature of a system or processor is highly dependent on the characteristics of the system as a whole and the combination of components that make up the system. Consequently, the "normal" operating temperature will vary from system to system, depending on each system's make-up. Some of the variables that affect the operating temperature of a system are: case size, air flow characteristics, installed components, processor speed, processor heatsink/fan solution, thermal interface material, power supply, voltage settings, workload, and ambient air temperature.

Although "normal" operating temperatures are not specified for AMD processors, there are maximum operating temperature ratings that must not be exceeded. The maximum operating temperature of a processor may be determined by the processor's Ordering Part Number (OPN). Refer to the processor's data sheet for additional information (data sheets may be downloaded from the Technical Documents page). Typically, the maximum operating temperatures for Socket A AMD Athlon™ and AMD Duron™ desktop processors are 90 degrees Celsius (194 degrees Fahrenheit) for processors operating up to 1GHz, and 95 degrees Celsius (203 degrees Fahrenheit) for processors operating above 1GHz. Do not be concerned with a minimum operating temperature.

Note: The maximum operating temperature specification is based on a measurement taken directly from the top center of the processor die. The temperature reported by a system's BIOS may not reflect the true temperature of the processor if the measurement is taken from an alternative location. Additionally, the reported temperature will be affected by the accuracy of the thermal probe, hardware monitor, and analog to digital signal conversion. As a result, some variance should be allowed when comparing the maximum operating temperature to the temperature reported by the system's BIOS.

Not my question....but thanks for the info If your unsure....Dont do it!
