Some swell guy keep spreading lies that DAC and RPGCodex welcome idiots. So they all come down here.

This is pissing me off. We should strike back at persons responsible, or something.

I used to use Motherboard Monitor for tracking CPU/etc temperatures. Then I noticed it gobbling a little more CPU than it was worth. I found another utility called SpeedFan which I only run when I am curious. Just for reference my 3200XP tends to run in the low 50's C with an ambient air temperature of about 27C.

Madbill is the newest edition in the long line of the bills. He doesn't need the weapons of mere mortals to open up a can of whup ass! Geez.

56C, Kashluk?! Holy crap, I think mine shuts down when it gets that hot. On good days, it runs at 28C and on awful hot days, 40C.

Well, yeah. And I've got this huge cooler strapped onto it, with silver paste in between (not too much, though, just enough). And it's awfully hot here. Really, really hot.

Plus my case adds some to the heat, being sound-proofed and all.

But that's 56C idle, right? How hot does it get when you're running a game? And does it ever explode?

And your processor, you mentioned it was a 2.8 GHz P4, but is it the 520 model? If yes, I might be able to let mine run hotter than I do now.

Well, idle is somewhere between 54 and 56, it changes a bit... And under preasure it hits as high as 72 (and 74 on occasion). Apparently, it should be safe as long as the temperatures stay below 80, says Intel?

74 C? What the shit? My computer runs at 72 F, which is 20 C

My computer has its maximum threshold at 75c, says the utilities that came with my motherboard.

My computer usually runs around 35-40c on idle and somwhere inteh 40 when its workin.

That's fucking bananas. You could heat your house with that shit.

Farenheit and Celsius, people. There is a difference.

Well tell me about it.
I have no idea what's going on.

ASUS P5GD1
PENTIUM 4, 2.8GHZ
3 x 120 mm FANS + A HUGE ALUMINUM HEAT SINK
NEXUS BREEZE -CASE

help?

Apparently, when I take the side wall off the case the temperature drops for almost 10 degrees Celsius at both idle and load. So now it's varying somewhere around 45 - 66 C. It's still way too high.

Spazmo · Post by **Spazmo** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 10:06 pm

I have the exact same mobo and CPU. On nice days, idle 30C, load 40C. On shitty (hot) days, idle 40C, load 50-55C, and the temperature sensor shits itself and shuts the computer down.

However, I have brutal cooling chit. This monstrosity on my CPU. This doohickey on my northbridge (the southbridge already has a decent heatsink on it). And then four case fans, plus the PSU fan.

Which explains quite a bit and proves few points.
