j w 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Can the CPU get to cold? I read at a forum that a guy had problems with overheating (probably had a crappy fan, badly installed fan, no coolingpaste etc), but then two other ppl said that they had another problem, that their processor is freezing, and it was down under 20 degrees C. Can it be to cold, so it cannot operate? Thanks for answers JW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for answers JW Yes, I think there is a stage where it would be too cold for the CPU to function properly, but that would be very very very low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdGrrr 0 Posted May 3, 2006 It is unlikely that it is too cold. The original intel 386 had a minimum operating temperature of -40 C, and it unlikely that the minimum operating temperature for any chip will be above 0 C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By any chance, did their post start off with "My computer has been acting up ever since I got that Liquid Nirogen cooling unit......" Seriously though, where did you see it. The only thing I could think of is that the motherboard is completely f----d up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, this reminds me of a messed up temperature sensor I had to deal with for a college project.
