As you can find on our Pentium-III
page, the maximum recommended CPU temperature for a Pentium-III
600E will differ depending on whether it is connected to the motherboard
by SECC2
(Slot 1) or FC-PGA
(socket 370). The maximum operating temperature of the original and
more cooling-efficient Slot-1 version is approximately 75 Celsius, while
the Socket-370 chip temperature should remain below 85 C.
Your CPU temperature is within the normal operating limit for both
types. However, if you are concerned about reducing its temperature,
consider adding an additional system case fan or running a software
cooler.
Note that all our Intel and AMD
CPU pages list the respective maximum recommended operating temperatures,
where available. For more information about CPU and computer
cooling, check out the Heat Sink
Guide.
