Assuming that the temperature readings among different computers are correct (to a certain degree), I'm just wondering if a temperature of 62°C is OK for a desktop computer running at 24 hours a day. I have an Intel board and it shows a temperature of 62°C whenever the processor is at full load. Varies by CPU... if this is a later P4, or a OC'd socket A Athlon, then that seems to be what is generally reported. It'd be a bit too warm for my 754/939/AM2 socket machines. It's fairly cool compared to my aging T41 laptop running BOINC...unless it's in a fairly chilly room I have to run Threadmaster on it. -- Skip

Not to be a spoilsport, but I simply gave up running BOINC on my G5 iMac and intel MacBook Pro due to heat and overheating issues. At around USD3000 apiece, these boxes are too spendy to turn to toast with this app, are not designed for this kind of work, though the PowerPC is. (I have not abandoned this project, though, I'm running BOINC and worldcommunitygrid on an intel dual core box. I'm getting some good work done. :-) )

It does vary by machine, but that I would agree would be too hot for these AMD boxes. Mine that are handy are both showing 43°C for MB. The older 2.4Ghz is 53°C CPU. A newer design 2.0GHz O/C to 2.4GHz is 49°C CPU running 24/7. Those speeds are about the same as Intel 3.0-3.2GHz. There is a lot of MB temp experience out there on the net that can be googled, obtaining your design maximums, etc. Usually the desktop temps at stock speeds aren't of concern unless there is heavy dust buildup or high overclocking or voltage levels which need more scrutiny. They are better designed for ventilation than laptops.

I bought a laptop cooling pad which has a couple of fans and connects to a USB port for power and set my laptop on it. It is a dual core machine and runs WCG 24/7; a lot of heat is being vented from the pad. I've seen no indication of any heat associated problems with it.
