Lets look at jolly ol asus probe..
oh, system specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
MSI Geforce 6600GT 8x AGP
Some crap motherboard thats max AGP is 4x, I want to shoot it. with a gun. and have it explode, or drive it over with my volvo.
A soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
Gig of ram, dont remember by who.
a 200gig HDD and a 20 thats sole purpose is running windows.
oh, and too many fans, lets see.
a front drive bay fan. 3x 40mm i think
2 hard drive cooling fan units 2x 40mm (x2)
my CPUs fan <shrug>
a side panel fan i added myself, 80mm i think, have the heat probe sitting on top of the heatsynch <cant i splice the two wires together for maximum rpm all the time?> Side panel is Induction
a rear fan near the CPU : Exhaust.
my Gefore has its own fan,
with a blower below it to expel the hot air out the back.
I think thats it, oh and the 400w supply the cast came with
Asusprobes Unholy and disgusting things its telling me: How my comptuer has lasted years without a single artefact, i dont know.
Current Stats after been on all day:
CPU Temp: 127F, not bad 53C... When i dont have the window open like it is now, it peaks out at 136F, which isnt good.
mobo temp 34C, i like that number..
+12V rail 12.992
+5V rail 5.08
+3.3V rail 3.28
Vcore (this is very bad i think) 1.744
from just reading bits and pieces, that high Vcore requires extra cooling, right? Is there a way i can lower the Vcore without losing processing speed? The heat this thing generates is astronomical, I shouldnt be sweating with just boxers on =/ Im going to either get liquid cooling soon, or If my roommate is generous with her "I can write off any computer from my taxes because i am 'self employed' " I dont think ill have to worry because she'll let me use it for whatever i want <cough> Falcon NW <cough> Or something home built with a bit of friendly guidance =) All i know is this thing is -=crap=- And I really should upgrade the motherboard and processor sometime, and the cooling, likely... The heatsynch came as is, with the little black thing already attached with paste, iirc. I dont like messing with the cpu physically cause its quite a hefty sum and i dont want to be paying 500$ or something for a screw up (atm tho i wouldnt mind if i messed up the current cpu, would be an excuse to buy a new one
)
Please help me oh wise and powerful Gurus.
And go ahead, call me a noob :O
All this is STOCK, I havent overclocked anything, afaik.. The Processor is running at 2000Mhz iirc.
Im hoping one of you says Oh, lol, go to bios set this and that and your comp will cool way down and run better =/
Bios is instructing a 1.65 VCore, and the speeds are 15x133/33 ...
