Operating temprature

[ani1751]

My Cabinet's operating temprature is 35 degree celcius, when the external fan is on. Is it too high? and when i game on it it goes to 40-43. I am using HD5770 X6 1055t, and corsair vx550. Shall i attach another external fan>??

Temperatures are ok for a running PC, but what is cabinet operating temperature?

 

[asingh]

You are fine.

@cool buddy, I meant the temprature inside the cabby, not the chip....

 

[Piyush]

its just ok bro
dont need to worry

 

[Cool Buddy]

OK, how do you measure that?

 

[coderunknown]

^^ wanted to ask that myself as well. did he used some digital temperature recorder? or thermometer?

 

[mavihs]

which cabinet you have?

 

[Cool Buddy]

mavihs's question gives me an idea. May be some high end cabinet have this feature of reporting operating temperature.

 

[mavihs]

my old cabby - Zebronics Peace has this option(its a really low end cabby though better than Elite 3xx)!

 

[Cool Buddy]

guess we should live without that feature. no use being so paranoid

I have Navtech cabby. It has digital thermometer...

It's not a good idea to keep the cabinet so close to the wall, although, since temperatures are not high, it's alright. Yet, do keep a gap between the wall and the cabby. Even the paint on the wall suffers due to the constant heat radiated from the cabinet and there should be some gap at the back too.
One thing, are you sure about the accuracy of that digital thermometer?

 

[ani1751]

Yea, I guess its accurate. Its is really temprature sensitive. When i game it goes as high as 45'C.

 

[coderunknown]

that thermometer isn't very accurate. cause it measures temp at some definite point. one need the temperature between the graphics card & proccy. its best place to measure temp. i think OP's system don't have the provision to place the sensor at a definite place.

 

[ani1751]

I can, Its placed below GPU fan

 

[coderunknown]

^^ than its a good one. a rough idea about the system temperature.

@sam.shab Please don't take it otherwise, I just mean to correct you. Look up the dictionary for the difference between thEn & thAn. They have quite different meanings. You often use than in place of then. I have seen you making that mistake many a times

grammar classes in operating temp thread

 

[Cool Buddy]

sorry for that, but this was probably the n-th time I saw sam making this mistake, so couldn't resist.
