Whats your PC spec..

Post by **YeLLoW** » 08 Dec 2007 10:27

60 is too hight for conroe. Probably its for both cores as you said. I do use soft which came with mobo.
Maybe you could try to update your bios to fix temp detection issues (if there is a newer version)

This is my iddle temp

I'd try the speedfan and it shows this

As you can see here are some wrong infos 2.
Or go to your mobo manufacturer's site and dl somth there. I am sure there will be some optimized software for your chipset.

PS: i do not have 9C in my room

Not sure how good that speed fan is, downloading some programs and updates which should help.

I put more compound on the on the cpu and made sure the fan is on properly which has lowerd things a bit.

But i've heard the cpu can run in the mid 20's on standerd cooling.

AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+
NVIDIA Geforce 7600 GS (passive cooling)
1 Gig RAM
320 Gig HD
acer 2 ms 19 inch LCD screen
10 year old optical mouse
Windows XP

Like this computer a lot, it is quiet and strong enough. Important that it is quiet.

Thats true but only with software support which automaticaly decrease cpu frequency in the indle times.

With stable frequency and standart cooling you can´t get it under 28 degrees (even with opened case) unless you have really, and i mean really good air circulation in case. (some expensive overclocers designed case)

Ah i see, they dont tell you them things.

I have a program called core temp now which is meant to be a more accurate reading. Its meant to read from the hottest part of the cpu.

its around 40c a core idle, would u say thats too high or is it ok for standerd cooling.

Just spent alot of money on this pc and with me putting the cpu in myself kinda paranoid something will go wrong

Post by **YeLLoW** » 10 Dec 2007 11:48

On CPU there are 2 temps which can be detected. 1st is for surface (bios and most of temp detecion programs shows this number) and the second inside the core (not so popular). Statisticaly is the core about +10 degrees more hot like the surface. So if your soft shows core temp 40c, your surface temp will be around 30 which is good and normal for stock cooler.

thats ok then

Hehe here i am, upgraded my PC

Done...

but my f*cking mothercard is outdated. It doesn't support my new periphs to their full power. Need to buy another one, since I can't find a bios update for it.

PS

Sorry for not being here tonight for the war, but I was having trouble with my pc (you guessed it right ! was tryin' to find out what didn't work ><)

Post by **YeLLoW** » 22 Dec 2007 20:23

never heard about xt revision of 8800 cards before. If you ment 8800gtx be sure to get better PSU. 650W is not enough (1x8800gtx consumes about 300-320W in peaks)
I recommends >900W for your specification.

boom · Post by **boom** » 23 Dec 2007 05:37

hi yellow,
the 8800 gt xtreme is a new card ,therefore a biatch to get hold of,http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/lis ... Id=1558712.

the advice on the shop site said 600w voeding for sli ,you really think more is needed ?

ah that one

8800gt is based on G92 core with much less power consuption as older G80 (8800GTX). so your PSU should be ok unless you have 4 HDD, 2 optical devices etc

yellow thanks anyways for the tip:)...have to wait now probably somewere in jan with luck ,besides my old one is still ok to play quake wars so am ok:)

Where the ownage happens

I Just took the side off my pc and with the big fan cpu tems have droped to tthe low 30's over clocked, think i should leave the side off?

i got the side always off....(temp decreased up to 5-8 degrees on all parts)

Arnie, i assume that the big fan in the middle back is for extreme overclocking

Arnott · Post by **Arnott** » 09 Jan 2008 15:07

well i play games alot, so after a long session it gets hot and needs extra cooling

thats the lowest i've managed to get the temp over clocked

Post by **YeLLoW** » 09 Jan 2008 17:13

nice temps at that clock

Thats another awesome setup, that CPU alone is mega bucks.
I hope you get the new generation of nvidia (G92) cards Boom, these are far faster than the predecessors.

The below is my proposed setup/upgrade in March, think I may be buid'n one for PJ as well

Abit IP-35 Pro
Intel Q6600 G0 stepping 2.4Ghz - not for long

2x 1Gb Corsair TwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800) (may get 4 sticks)
