Svar från AMD ang. cpu temp (lång)

Hello Jocke,

The "normal operating temperature" of a system or a processor is a
difficult question to answer. What might be "normal" for one system will
not be normal for another. There are many variables in a system that
will change the normal operating temperature. Case size, installed
components, airflow, processor speed, power supply, voltage settings,
heat sink, thermal interface material, workload, ambient air
temperature, etc. all play a role in the normal operating temperature
for your system and processor.

Also note that the accuracy of the thermal probe, hardware monitor and
conversion from an analog signal to digital also impact the actual
temperature that is being reported in the BIOS or software.

Therefore, we cannot say what should be "normal" with respect to the
operating temperature. Part of the processor specifications includes the
maximum operating temperature, which can be determined from the Ordering
Part Number (OPN). Please refer to the processor datasheet or our
knowledge base for more info on Maximum Operating Temperature. Below is
the link to the technical documents, where the Ordering Part Number
(OPN) can be found.

Generally speaking, the temperature range for Durons, Athlons up to
1GHz, and Athlon XP processors up to the 2100+ is 0 to 90C (194F).

The temperature range for Athlon 1.1 to 1.4Ghz processors is 0 to 95C
(203F).

The temperature range for Athlon XP 2200+ processors and above is 0 to
85C (185F).

Also, please note, the max-operating temp is based on measuring the
temperature Top Dead Center of the processor die. Since very few systems
measure the temp at this location it is a good idea to allow for some
variance when comparing this number to the values reported in the BIOS.
The accuracy of the thermal probe, hardware monitor and conversion from
an analog signal to digital also impact the actual temperature that is
being reported in the BIOS or software.

AMD recommends to set the temperature alarm 10 degree less then the
maximum in Celsius or 20 to 25 degrees less then the maximum in
Fahrenheit.

It is also recommended to install case fans (one intake and one
exhaust)to provide air flow across the critical components of the
motherboard. Additionally, zip tying the system cables up out of the way
of the air flow will help to keep the system cooler.
