My AMD Athlon XP1600+ with 1,85V VCore on a watercooler is now 30C.
If I rebuild my watercooler and start using a peltier I could get it below 10C

Well mine's actually between 45 (bootup) and 65 (full load). I let it run all night doing some crap, and the next morning got the typical symptoms of a burntout CPU, but that was actually just the burnout protection on my mobo! Phew.

My frog asked me for a straw...dunno what happened his ass all over the place :eek:

If I'm running the attic fan, my cpu will climb to 40C. If the ac is on, it stays around 30C.

Low 20s idle, mid 30s full load.

It helps me out more if in your reply you post like svol did with his cpu stats and how exactly your cooling. Guess I should have been more specific. :wink:

Thanks

My P41.6A runs around 32C. With a heavy load it will go up to 36 to 38C depending how hot and humid the ambient air is.
My laptop with a PIIIm 1.13 runs around 50C. With a heavy load it goes up to 70C before the active cooling starts and when the active cooling fans run it drops right back to the low 40's in less than 30 seconds.
I remember when I first saw my notebook's cpu temp at 70C, I nearly shitmyself. I felt relief when I read the Intel White Paper and it stated the normal operating temperature range was 0C to 100C for mobile PIIIm processors. Same range for P4M processors.

Wow, that's low... you use aircooling don't you? So how high are your ambient temps?

Well how high are your room temps?

I see you use a P3... now I get why the temps are so low.

Room temps:

Don't know. Lets just say that a hot day here is anything over 25C.

mine is 3000 degrees(celcius), It´s a miracle that it still works without restarting.

Guess I´m lucky.

Just checked, and it's showing 37C . If I turn off the monitor and lights in the room, and leave the AC on, and the system is just running SETI, it drops to 32C. Old 17" monitor heats everything up, as, apparently, so do I. My "den" only has a little 5000BTU window unit, though.
CPU is a T-Bird850, Tt DragonOrb , 4 7200 SCSI drives,
8mm backup, Plextor CDRW, Plextor CD.
