What is the ideal temperature for my amd athlon 64 3200+?

Question

take note that the room temperature is around 25C-30C. thanks!

Answer 1

The "ideal" temp would be something very close to ambient. But that may only be possible with exotic cooling solutions.

With stock HSF on a case w/ good ventilation, idle temp could typically be 10-12°C above ambient and full load temp around 14-16°C above ambient. The Orleans core w/c has a lower wattage may run a tad cooler than one based on the Winchester and Venice cores.
