Your CPU Temp ?

[sg1]

45,55 oC are not intolerable in INTEL systems anyway!!

they can handle heat MUCH better than AMD chips

Even 60oC for INTEL is quite common, I don't know what people get worried about? Obviously the cooler the better but believe me....I've seen a hell of a lot worse

I'm the only one here to have a Coolest Overclocked Prescott

A little bit offtopic. My hd temps go upto 48c which concerns me. Will such temps affect the life of the hd.

 

[Gigacore]

its not really HOT... but still its above normal.. but under safe condition.

My P4 524 HT 3.06 Ocd to 3.45 GHz runs at 36degees idle and 60 degrees at 100% load

@gigacore ,how ur P4 is so cool

 

[Gigacore]

^ coz i'm COOL

Man its a long story, ask charan and sg1... they will explain

Well I can't really explain as you live in a warmer climate than me and are using stock cooling . However I did notice that your 12v rail in your PSU is running just over 8.5v ? Would this affect OC'g and temperatures?.........anyone?.......... Here's my readout-

When the service guy removed the stock fan from the processor I noticed that the thickness of the thermal paste was about 1mm think .. its this too much?

@gigacore dude yeh tumhare computer ka hi temp post kiya hai na ya phir yeh bhi GF ka.

 

[prateek_san]

Idle 55-60 c
100% load 60-65 c Max with Cooler Master hyper L3....else with Stock i was getting temp like 60-80 c ..... .....my stock heatsink got fcked up....

uska fyada utha lol milk usi pe boil kiya kar

 

[prateek_san]

any ways guys if i lay a thick layer of Thermal paste will that help to lower down the temp more ????

 

[hemant_mathur]

40-44 degrees on Intel c2d E6850 (3.0 Ghz)

NO! In fact it will just make a bloody mess when it liquifies- a mm thick is about just right, and dont go right to the edges of the CPU with it either or it will ooze out onto surround MOBO area which could cause a problem if you are using something such as ARTIC 5 paste.

The main idea of the paste is to take up any microscopic imperfections in the surfaces of both the CPU and HEATSINK, giving a more effective surface area with which to dissipate heat away from your CPU

@ gaurav.. its Mine's

this is high.for my seagate 80GB.max it comes 41-42.
@pushku:I suppose your on windows.there may be some software that comes along with ur hdd or get some software to do a S.M.A.R.T Test for ur hdd.check whether it passes!

ok got the point.....

The cooler a HDD runs, the longer it can last(as a general rule)
Firstly if you have more than one HDD , then place the System drive in the bottom slot of the rack inside your case as the air is coolest there.

Secondaly if you have more than one HDD, then placing it anywhere else would cause the heat from the other drives rising and contributing towards the overall temperature of your system drive!

Thirdly have you got a HDD fan attached to the underside of you HDD? I have one on each of my drives and it REALLY helps to knock off a few degrees Something like this should do it for you LOOK HERE

P4 Prescott 2.8GHz@stock cooling with AS5

Idle - 55 degrees @ 2000-3000 CPU Fan RPM
Load - 65-69 degrees @ 4000-5000 CPU Fan RPM ---> Gets freaking noisy! As if you're near a formula one engine at top revs!!

 

[goobimama]

How are those prescotts running so cool? Mine idles at 56 and goes upto 75 and such...
