-Post your temps here- OMG! My rig is uber-cold!

Actually, it just dropped to 42C. :eek:

I don't know if I trust ASUS Probe or not, the diode for my baybus, which reaches into the main part of my case, reads 18.4C.

I have a really cheap HSF too. My Volcano 9 should be coming sooner or later...

I included UD into the pic to show that that temp is full load.

Anyway, post your temperatures here, or share a story of a record low.

Vid card is currently running @ 34C. The fan on it isn't running either! (I "modded" it by replacing the meager 40mm with a 5k RPM 60mm fan...It was buzzing very loudly, and I haven't gotten around to checking it out yet.)

41C? Maybe...

Edit: apparently the attachment didn't work, but my CPU was @ 43C.

And it's a 2100+ Palo if I haven't rubbed it in your face enough...

My computer is not that cold

But it's because the app is designed for BP6 and I have BD7. You might think that 54C is a lot but maybe we should think about noise, too?

Whilst my own PC isn't as cold, it is far quieter for sure .

My PC is not loud. I mean, it's loud enough so that it kinda bothers me when I try to leave it on overnight, but that's all.

My comp obviously ain't that cold, considering it's like 80 degrees in my room and about 70 outside ATM. I also use stock cooling for this rig; Athlon XP 2000+ Palomino.

Currently after an hour of playing NWN, UT2003, BF1942 and Serious Sam, as well as working on some distributed computing here.

I would like to do it as well, but seeing as how I lug my rig around quite often (to my friend's LAN parties and such), it may put some strain on myself there. <- Quite a downfall.

My 286 8mhz (in PC/AT) runs cool enough to touch at 100% load.

P3-1000 (Socket 370 FCPGA) : 38 idle, 45-46 load
Celeron 700 (Socket 370 FCPGA) : 34 idle, 40 load
P3-600E (Slot 1) : 34 idle, 42 load

Farenheir to Celsius: F-32/1,6

Celsius to Farenheit: Cx1,6+32

So 123f-32/1,6=56.875C, and just to be sure you are right you can now go the other way, 56.875x1,6+32=123f...

The Athlon 1.0 (35 idle - 42 load) and 1.2's (36 idle - 45 load) in the office never exceed 45C full load, all year round - all on stock cooling, cramped mid-tower cases - prob because of all the A/C... as for the P4 1.6A, i've never really seen this thing go above even 35 full load - runs extremely quiet as well (Dell)...

When idle
CPU Temp: 51c
Board Temp: 42c

Personally, i still think that 51c is a nice temperature for my cpu. AMD processors generate more heat than newer intels.....my cheap PSU is making alot of noise and generates lots of heat, btw just switched back to my old 250w PSU!
