Hey,
I've finished doing a couple mods on my case...a window with a 80mm fan, a Vantec Fan Card underneath my videocard, upgraded system fan, rounded cables replaced all those ugly flat ones, and I removed the plastic air duct that used to direct air straight onto the cpu fan.
Right now, my CPU temps at idle are between 14C and 20C, at full load, it would peak about 31C.
The "system" temp likes to stay around 34C and raises to 37C when cpu has been working for a while.
GPU - BFG Tech 5900...at idle/or in 2d mode I guess, the core reads between 45-47C and ambient temp is always about 10c below that. ....NOW when I come out of a game, such as UT2K4, after a crap load of action...the GPU temp reads sometimes at 70-75!C....the bar is in the yellow section, but quickly drops to lower 50's.
That kinda scares me, The Fan card is fully operational and on high, and the card itself has a pretty nice cooling system.
My roommate's setup, almost the same as mine has an idle of 31C and he rarely gets above 55C withthe same game and setup.....
Are there any #'s in the above paragraph that would make anyone cautious? Or are these average/normal temps??
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
