CPU temperature

Hi,

Is it normal for the temperature of your CPU to increase as time goes on?

I've got an Athlon XP 2100+ and I see that the temp is now at 51C where it
used to be around 42 to 44.

Anyone have any ideas?

You're not alone Lew, this ridiculous flaw in the language has
been brought up several times by several different reputable
programmers at the Standards Committee meetings. As far back as 1986
it was proposed to adopt Standard International Units into the C
Standard but the proposal was quickly quenched by the powers that be
for "historical reasons". Come 2008 and we're still destroying our 3.2
GHz quad-cores all because a handful of old fogies can't cop on to
metric.
The getchar() function will return the temperature at which your processor
begins to burn. Simply compare with tmp, and the pesky units problem will be
solved.

It's just amazing how much nonsense the people in this group will spout.
Can't you all either answer the question seriously or say nothing?

Why not having a joke once in a while? At least these answers are somewhat
topical here (whereas the question clearly as not)

What preprocessor symbol should I test to get correct
internationaliz ation in the following code?

#include <stdio.h>
#ifdef WHAT_SYMBOL_SHO ULD_I_TEST
#define VERB "Sod"
#else
#define VERB "Bugger"
#endif
int main(void) {
puts (VERB " off, Twink.");
return 0;
}

OK, so now I don't know when people are being serious or not. Will the
temperature outside in the room really have an effect? I thought the whole
point of CPU cooling was to maintain a constant temp??
But, why did you choose comp.lang.c to ask this question?
Yeah, sorry, I guess it's a bit off-topic... But I reasoned that there'd
be a strong positive correlation between people that program in C and
people that understand general hardware issues.

>Antoninus Twink mooted that:
>It's just amazing how much nonsense the people in this group will spout.
And then asked, rhetorically:
>Can't you all either answer the question seriously or say nothing?
And then, like clockwork, Eric Sosman supplied the proof for the point
mooted, thusly:
What preprocessor symbol should I test to get correct
internationali zation in the following code?
(etc, etc)

No, but there's a strong positive correlation between people
who program in C and people who *think* they understand general
hardware issues. You'll get lots of answers, with little idea
whether they're right.

Try alt.comp.hardwa re or comp.sys.ibm.pc .hardware.chips or a similar
group. My server carries 173 groups with "hardware" in their names. You
should be able to find a suitable one. The Web is also useful for such
queries. There must be thousands of computer forums and web sites.

Perhaps also your machine is doing more work (eg. you have a virus),
so maybe look at the CPU load.

I think you will find the manual for that CPU will say it can
work up to 90C. The thermal pad that the retail amd kits come
with seems to dry out and loose thermal contract after years.
I had a 2000+ that got hotter and hotter each summer.
Of course. Haven't you been following the progress of global
warming the past few years? If we (collectively) don't take
appropriate steps in a few years no computers will function.

Hey Everyone~ I'm still a C++ Rookie so please bear with me on this. I'm doing a temperature conversion program with prototype functions.

I am absolutely stuck with this one. I have to create a temperature conversion calculator that rounds the resulting temperature to the nearest whole number & vice versa.
