I thought it'd be cool to have who wants to post their HS and fan combination and other substantial contributing factors to why their system runs as hot or cold as it does.
I think the motherboard and software (bios, utilitys) used contributes highly on how your readings are so please descrbie what you are using to get your numbers.
Gigabyte GA-7VTXE
Athlon XP 1700+
Alpha PAL6035 (want a 8045!)
60mm Delta 7400rpm fan (hums)
With winamp and 5 IE windows 46C CPU temp, 37C system with Gigabyte utility. Motherboard Monitor shows exact same temp readings. I think I in a intensive game I max out at 51C according to MM.
One 92mm case fan on rear of case and enermax whisper 2 fan PSU, 1 80mm front case fan not pulling in any air because of no holes in the front of the case. Its a fancy looking rather expensive ($70) case.
The room temp is normal for Iowa this time of year, not cold but not hot either.
I know you guys have killer (sub 40C) setups and I'm dying to hear about it because I think we all want lower temps!
Edit- Also I used original Arctic Silver on the HS but it was never properly cleaned just wiped off and I've used the alpha on various cpus since it was released. I usually see a 3C drop after a couple days after I put the AS on the cpu.
"dude your getting a dell", is that kid trying to say he wants to stick his 'dell' in you?<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by kinney on 12/09/01 11:52 AM.</EM></FONT></P>
