Moderatly fun, played it a few times, then removed it.
solemnwarning:
My Athlon XP 3200+ average temp is 30-36C, goes up to 40-48C when i do a lot of heavy processing stuff like compiling or running ut2k4

Yep. And there is a version for Linux and Mac too. ;)
Aloone_Jonez:
This isn't worth arguing about since the processor temperature depends on the ambient temperature. If you want to do this scientifically you should be measuring the temperature rise, this will depend on the thermal conductivity of die to heat pad, the heatsink, ventilation and power dissipation of the chip.
There are so many different factors you can't compare between makes of processor other than to say that the safest one will have the lowest power consumption, the highest die operating temperature and thermal conductivity between the pad and die.

--- Quote from: toadlife ---The AthlonXP line of processors did not support any kind of thermal shutdown or throttling on the chip. As a result, motherboard makers implimented it into their motherbords in order to save Athlons from themselves when fans burnt out. Bascially the motherboard would power the entire system down when the chip got too hot. It was very crude, but effective.

Thanks ... that's what I meant :D
--- Quote from: toadlife ---My athlonXP 2100 ran at around 60C and peaked at around 70C. This was normal. My athlonXP 2800 was pretty much the same as my 2100. It ran hot. My Current A64x2 4400 runs at 46C and peaks at around 52C. A huge difference from the XP line.

My 2.8 Ghz P4 runs around 57 C idle - 75 C under heavy stress (compiling large program)
@ Orethrius that's a mighty fine response to Xeniczone's rant-like reply ... thanks for that, didn't have the patience to do it myself :D
