I'm so cool!

amb. 22°C
Case 25°C
CPU 33°C

Duron 1Ghz@1.2Ghz.
if i add 1MHz, it won't reboot properly.
I think its some Demonic possessed RAM i have, its the one stick that came out alive after setting fire to the mobo, burning the other mem chip, and killing power supply, DVD drive and CDRW.
Its seems stable most of the time tho...99%....?
Weird. oh, 110MHz fsb, and the RAM is PC133.

ambient : 20°c
Case: 30°C
CPU idle: 44/41°C (motherboard/DD5)
CPU Load: 48-9/43°C (motherboard/DD5)


TB 1300 on 1.75v (1.65 in bios or it gives 1.85, hot enough to steak on )

[dZeus]

you didn't, by accident, happen to place it the wrong way round in the DIMM slot, the time it put the mobo on fire, did you? I've seen very similar things happen in situations where it was.

Yes, but also bear in mind that if you're getting your CPU temperature reading from a motherboard mounted sensor (usually inside the CPU socket) there's quite an air gap between that and the actual CPU itself.

The A7V333 reads the CPU temp from the core of the chip, not from under the socket. And yes, the AthlonXP has got a built in thermistor on-die.

I haven't measured the room temp here, as I do not own an indoor thermometer - go figure....

But my guess would be it's around 16c.

My case in an Antec 630. I don't use round hdd cables so I guess it's pretty cluttered (check my sig). Any experiences with those round cables you want to share? I just installed 2 pabst 12DC fans, one suckin' and one blowin' to improve airflow through the case... still my CPU temp is 55c at load. My case temp is 32c.

Celeron 1200 Tualatin at 1320 (110 fsb), Alpha PAL6035 with 30.5 cfm Delta fan. Using Seti@home to load CPU.

Ambient temperature as measured 1ft from front of case: 26.2c
Case temperature, onboard motherboard sensor: 28c
CPU temperature, on-die sensor: 34c (using -5c correction obtained using methods from http://www.articsilver.com/diode_calibration.htm )
CPU Heatsink exhaust measured .25" from WHIRLING BLADES OF DEATH: 29.3c

Watch you fingers buddy

[Jon P. Inghram]

Never stuck my finger into the delta, but I have had a very painfull encounter with one of these Sunon Ginsu finger dicer 50cfm fans when I was using 'em in the case. I grew tired of the noise and put some more reasonable ones in.

[Jake]

Been there, got the scars to prove it.

Thankfully I still have all my digits...

[Wombat]

I had one of these Delta EHEs http://www.deltaww.com/products/dcfa.../FFB808038.pdf take a nice slice off of my fingertip. McKinley literally left me scarred.

My system: thunder-bird 1.4GHz w/1.75V, AOC EC-D5-825 HSF @~3300rpm, 400W PSU (temporary no name 400W coz repalcing my burnt enermax 350W).

Normal days (20-22 degrees room temperature)

Case: 31 degrees
CPU: 52 degrees
Full load CPU: 56 degrees

On hot days (25 degrees room temperature)

Case: 34 degrees
CPU: 56
Full load CPU: 59 degrees

If o/c to 1.55GHz @ 20-22 degrees room temperature...

Case: 32 degrees
CPU: 55
Full load CPU: 62

hehehe i threw away my thermaltake volcano 6cu after 1 week of using... it's just TOO LOUD!

Unless your room doesn't get too hot in summer I'd be worried. 16c 61f isn't very warm.
Round cables do help the airflow. Don't get any from scan.co.uk as they're crap and tend to fall out.

Since were posting temps ... I was playing some Q3A yesterday (if you can call it playing ... more like getting my ass kicked) and sweat was rolling off of me (been cookin' in the Valley lately). I checked my temps afterward and recorded these numbers:
Ambient 29
MB 32
CPU 41
Power/aux 36

... not too shabby. This is with a stock but well ventilated case and a retail P!!!/850 (stock HSF). I'm currently running at:
Ambient 24.5
MB 28
CPU 36.5
Power/aux 31.5

BTW, where does Sandra pick up the Power/aux temps? I've only added a CPU thermistor to this rig.

[Jake]

I think that if your motherboard and power supply support it, the temperature in your power supply is passed through the ATX power connector to the motherboard bios.

Sandra simply reads out the info in the hardware monitor chip on your motherboard...

[xortam]

I've never looked into the ATX specs but that's pretty much what I suspected Jake (almost included it in my last post). Anybody know for sure? I have an ASUS P2B-S. Interesting that the ASUS Probe utility doesn't bother to report this number but Sandra does.

[Jake]

Isn't the Asus probe a generic tool for all Asus mobos? I mean it's not just for the P2B-S...

Btw. Sandra reads the Power/aux temp on my Asus A7V333 too. It's 14c right now. Must be close to room ambient temp I guess.
