I am using the stock fan and heatsink that came with my PC and the program SpeedFan is reading it at 44C when running just this Firefox window and SpeedFan <br /> <br /> thanks.<br /> <br /> /Josh<br /> <br /> <br /> My PC<br /> <br /> AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.19 Ghz<br /> 2X 1 GB Corsair Value Select<br /> 530W Hiper PSU<br /> Zotac NVIDIA 8800GT <br /> Creative SB Audigy<br /> PCI Wireless networking card<br /> ASUS A8V-VM SE motherboard<br /> Maxtor 6V250F0 (251.0GB)<br /> Windows Vista 32 bit home premium <br /> <br /> CPU specs with CPUz <br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq15/omfgitsjosh_2008/asd.jpg" target="_blank">http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq15/omfgitsjosh_2008/asd.jpg</a> text/html 2005-05-05T08:53:59-05:00 Mavic http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35629/?o=100#272276 I too had issues with high temps I was running at 70-80 C while gaming so took the machine back to the shop and they changed the heat sink and fan and added a case fan and the temps dropped heaps.<br /> <br /> To all you guys that have raved about Cool n Quiet, I have to say it rocks I just installed it and my temps dropped even more from 45 C down to 25 C at idle and 50-60 C to 40 C while gaming.<br /> <br /> Thanx for the install tips it really helped.<br /> <br /> Cheers Jeff text/html 2005-04-26T01:12:32-05:00 Justin Marino http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35629/?o=100#269245 I run seti@home at the same time I do everything else. Examples: winamp, email, downloads, browsing, and what not. Doing all of this at same time with Cool and Quiet running does not take my CPU temp above 50-53 degrees celsius. Seti@home is a CPU intensive program and I have set to run at all times. I do of course shut it off if I am going to play a graphical intensive game.

I doubt that the lack of memory bandwidth with hurt you in any way. Doubt you would even notice it. text/html 2005-04-17T01:47:40-05:00 Super XP http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35629/?o=100#266147 That water system on that website looks nice.<br /> <br /> As long as you placed the Thermal Past onto your CPU properly &amp; that you &quot;DO NOT&quot; have your PC's side case door open, then you should be running with good temps.<br /> <br /> CPU's do get hot, so make sure your fans are clean of dust or just go for the Water Cooling. And don't worry about any leaks, just take your time &amp; have the water system run for at least 12 hrs before U turn on your system.<br /> <br /> I had one leak while I was playing DOOM 3 for a few hours. Nothing happened, though my MOBO was wet in some spot's along with my 9700 Pro I had back then, nothing happened. I fixed the leak, dried up everything &amp; away I went again.<br /> <br /> Water Cooling is well worth the investment.<br /> text/html 2005-04-16T23:55:33-05:00 Marek Stefanowski http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35629/?o=100#266113 Well ive been wondering about Water cooling for a while now, but is it really safe, I mean think about it water right next to your precious components. One thing that looks like a deal is this<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=HFT-A1604" target="_blank">http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=HFT-A1604</a><br /> its from a british site, but I wondered if you guys could have a look and tell me if its worth it or not.<br /> On the subject of CnQ I couldnt get it to work for a while, but in a recent issue of Micro Mart a reader uestion was answered on the very subject. The answer he gave was to install the &quot;RightMark CPU clock utillity&quot; from<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://cpu.rightmark.org/download.shtml" target="_blank">http://cpu.rightmark.org/download.shtml</a><br /> On this you set up your maximum and minimum voltages and multipliers and you can mess with a few other bits aswell. you can get the speed down to 800MHz on a 3200+. This also works on Intels and the K7s.<br /> How are you guys getting these temperatures, because I changed my fans to supposedly better ones and at idle without CnQ I got 47 degrees with it I get 44degrees and an under load temp of just under 50 degrees (alltemperatures according to speedfan) Is this just speedfan miseading the values? The exhaust air isnt that hot, its warm, but not hot. I have one exhaust fan, but i have another fan that I will fit soon, is t better to have it in the front or as a second exhaust fan?<br /> -FreakShow!<br /> <br /> AMD 64 3200+<br /> GeForce 6800 GT<br /> Audigy 2 Platinum<br /> 200Gb Seagate SATA Drive<br /> ASRock K8 COMBO-Z<br /> 1Gb DDR memory<br /> Hiperpower 525W PSU text/html 2005-04-16T16:26:27-05:00 Super XP http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35629/?o=100#266015 I'm an Idiot.<br /> <br /> And they did look familiar <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile4.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=";)" title=";)"> Duuuuuuu text/html 2005-04-16T16:20:08-05:00 david woolley http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35629/?o=100#266010 yeah I know.<br /> <br /> But they are your temps I quoted form that post earlier you made.<br /> <br /> I just forgot to add the Super XP next to the &quot;&quot; <br /> <br /> your water cooloing must be great.<br /> your computer is cooler than the room I am sitting in.<br /> <br /> text/html 2005-04-16T16:09:17-05:00 Super XP http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35629/?o=100#266007 Those are great temps/ text/html 2005-04-16T14:19:30-05:00 david woolley http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35629/?o=100#265978 &quot; I'm running 23C to 25C @ stock &amp; about 31C to 33C with hours of CPU loading. &quot;<br /> <br /> wow thats amazing.<br /> My computer heats up past that in 10 seconds.<br /> <br /> come to think of it , its hotter than that even before its turned on. lol <br /> Room temp here is about 30 'c text/html 2005-04-15T18:36:15-05:00 Super XP http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35629/?o=100#265681 I did some MAJOR research &amp; found that there will be many different varieties of CPU's coming out soon.
