AMD dual Core

[blackhand101]

ok i got an AMD dual core and what is the recommended temp in celcsus? it some times goes up to 56C
thanks
EDIT: it is An AMD Althon 64 X2 4400+ the max temp is 65 i know that

56C is a little warm, but not critical - I'd keep an eye on it. Generally though, as long as you're under 60C, you don't have to worry too terribly much. When you break 60, then you very likely have some kind of a cooling issue on your hands... but I wouldn't worry too much as it is right now. From what I hear, AMD seems to be known for making "warmer" CPUs.

Of course, you could always consider what it's saving you on heating bills, if you'd like.

Get a better cooling system on that CPU. My gaming computer has a quad core processor from Intel, and I can max it out and the temp stays well below 50 degrees C at the most at extended use.

I have a really slow processor at the moment but i am planning to get AMD duak core now .

Get a quad core if you can support it. It's well worth it, especially if you have Vista. If you have XP or older, then go with the Dual Core.

AMD's run pretty hot sometimes, because they're better. :tongue: 56 Celsius is pretty hot, but I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you have a good heat sink and fan.If you can, try getting it to run cooler by reducing the load, which is hard to do if you run Vista.

AMD is better? Quite the contrary I hear.. Intel has much higher L2 caches generally

 

[AutoItKing]

That was my own biased opinion.

look at this quick image i threw together would it cause a cooling conflict?

I have an iMac "17 with a 1Ghz processor and 256mb RAM (which really sucks!) and i have PPC too, which ones would support my system?

 

[Smith6612]

A PowerPC? I think it's time to get a new system as I don't think the Macs are very upgradeable, unless I'm mistaken. As for a dual core, you most likely won't support a dual core unless they make one for your Mac's Motherboard chipset and it will fit in your case with room for air to move freely in there.

I highly doubt either one of those can support a dual-core or quad-core processor. If I had to guess, I would say that the processors on Macs are probably surface-mounted anyways (but that's just me guessing). That means you would have to get another motherboard to install a different processor.
