PIII 1 ghz

[Milenko]

I have a BookPC with a PIII 1 ghz in it and the proc runs at about 167F. Is that too high for a PIII? Seems a little toasty to me, but I don't really know for sure.

You can check out the thermal characteristics of Intel Cpus on the following link:

Pentium® III Processors Thermal Management

According to the article your PIII max's out at 70C (158F) so it looks like it's running a bit hot.
Anyways, check it out.

Thats a bit toasty if you ask me. I've always used Book PC's with Celerons primarily for the reason that there is very little circulation in those tiny cases.

I kinda thought that a PIII in there would be a problem. The only this is that I really hate Celerons, but I guess that's about the only way to go if you want to use those little guys.

Thanks alot!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Or rig a better cooling solution. I have an IBM BookPC which uses the power supply fan inside the computer to circulate hot air out but all that does is move hot air into the power supply. I added a fan on the outside of the power supply where the air would eventually exit and that seemed to help things out alot.
