i can get my idle temps below 48C and i hitting 68C under load for my phenom II 710 which shuts the computer down at that point i have:
gigabyte board
HIS ati 4670 gpu
3 gig of ram kingston brand ddr 2 677
this cpu cooler http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/cpu/031/sckc1000_detail.html
rosewill 430watt psu
cheap powerspec micro case
i just cut a window in the side with a 80 mm intake fan blowing over the gpu and 120 mm intake fan in the front then a 120 mm exhaust fan in the rear sensor view shows
cpu 48c
sys 27c
aux52c
hdd0 30c
hd1 29c
is this nornal for this small setup and the amd cpu? i thought the cpu cooller would help but seems to have went up from about 38c idle on the stock cooler. also before i had the 4th core unlock OC to 2.9 after this new cpu cooler i had to reset back to 3 cores and stock speeds just to keep it from idling in the 50's
and thoughts to cool this thing down my budget i could put into this is about 70 dollars. be it for a new case better cooler or what but cod mw2 would shut me down after a hour of single player play
thanks
