Believe me, when I show you my lightsaber, you will regret carrying on.

Seriously, though, can everyone please remember to act like an adult? its not hard.

(And I run them all off a Vantec Nexus so the noise is awesome - the loudest thing is my 10,000RPM SATA hard drive - it made seeking noises when I first got it, but now I actually don't hear it much at all anymore. The rest of my 4 hard drives are very quiet, especially my 120G WD SE, which is virtually silent.)

And agissi I don't know how hard it would be for you to go to a store and buy like a minimum of 2 80mm case fans for your space heater of a computer. No processor should ever run that hot, you are seriously cutting down on the life of both that processor and your system board, not to mention every other thing in your case because your ambient temp is so freaking hot.

And I got freaked out when my CPU was running load at 122F.

Well the only place that sells case fans around me is Circuit City, and their fans are (1) a rip off, (2) 35db, too loud for me. I know it shortens the life of the CPU, but who gives a 'hoo-ha' when Im only going to keep it for 2yrs? Never the less, lots may say how bad it is its going to break, bla bla, my computer has been absolutly flawless (hardware wise) for the 1.5yrs I've owned it. I know its not the best, I know its not good, but it works, its quiet to my standards, and its not breaking any time soon.
 
That is without a doubt a bargain :D Too bad my case doesnt have anywhere to put a case fan ;) [Did I forget to mention that? Theres no holes/anywhere to install a case fan]. Not to mention, its too bad Newegg charge $4 shipping for just one fan. If it makes you any better, I had my friends dad drill a blow hole (he was a professional so its good) that was 92mm, and a 92mm Zalman fan is there. Pushes 35cfm @ 20db :D That and the 80mm Stealth fan is going well on top of the Volcano 9 (got that for free).

I have (or had, until I started getting ready for WC'ing) three intake and three exhaust.
 
CPU0 temperature: idle about 50C, 100% load about 57C

CPU1 temperature: idle about 50C, 100% load about 57C

GPU temperature: idle about 46C, 100% load unknown

Case temperature: More than room temperature, less than CPU temperature

Antec Sonata, two Pentium III-S CPUs with Coolermaster HCC-002 heatsinks their fans running at 5 volts.
 
You know all that stuff you were arguing about before? Well if you dont want noise havn't you ever considered watercooling agissi? It may be expensive I suppose but It would keep your PC damn right cool and quiet.
Me I like Noise. No..... I love Noise!!, 75DB of noise in my Beast and Do you wanna know the temperature? My CPU chip stays at 34C thanks to my Coolermaster Jet 7!! and it's overclocked!!. My Motherboard stays at a cool 19C cause of my 2 Vantec Tornadoes and my case temp is only 21C!!!
I cant say much about my VGA though that's got it's own fan so I dunno how hot that card gets. :grinthumb


I bet some ppl would agree all noise and no heat win over no noise and all heat. hehe :D




Other ppl though would say that I'm Insane with 75DB whirring around in my case..............:blackeye:
 
At first, my CPU was 30C idle (2.95Ghz).

Now, right after moving the wires in the back and hiding them, I've got 25C idle.

This proves that if you do your wiring carefully, you'll have a cool system :grinthumb
 
I really dont want to keep crapping on about my cpu, ok? - it works fine, it runs great, its absolutely fine how it is. My head is upright, I do know about water cooling, if I had the money I'd get it.

But everybody here knows just how important it is to keep you happy here and will stop at nothing to do so. :haha:

75db? That is disgusting. Sick and disgusting. I get better temps (CPU - 32C full load and overclocked 650MHz, Chipset - about 27C load) at a fraction of the noise (35-40db, and by decibel standards [noise level doubles every 3db] holds true). And most of the noise comes from my 5 hard drives, not even fans...

But if that's the way you like and can stand it, ok...:confused:
 
My cpu stays around 60-65 F and system runs about 30 hotter.
My video card runs idle at 43C.
One 80mm intake and a PCI slot exhaust fan.

Theres another 92mm intake fan but it has a plastic air duct directing the air flow right onto the cpu fan. If I take the duct out, the overall temp raises about 4 degrees :)

I've replaced all but one ribbon cable with rounded cables. Haven't noticed much of a difference with that, but the case is SUPER small. A H-P mini-tower :p

Might want to watch out, as installing different IDE cables my void your HP warranty...:D
 
Hi. new to these boards. was doing research on what my case temperature should be like on my pc and ran into this thread.

PC Specs are currently:
ASUS PC-DL Deluxe Motherboard
(2) Pentium Xeons 2.6 ghz
1 gig ddr (pc2700)
Geforce FX 5750 ultra (for now)
(2) WD 60 gig 7200 rpm hardrives
Thermaltake Lanfire 2000 case.

I have my temp gauge just inside the case, near the processors but not connected to either one. On boot up. I run around 30 c and jump up to about 40 c after about an hour.

I have the 4 fans that the Case came with and the two heat syncs the Xeons brought and thats about it. Is 30-40 c good for dual processing? Also, I'm upgrading very soon to two 10,000 rpm Raptor SATA drives on a raid.

Theres virtually no room in my case to add addition fans. Any ideas on how to improve my cooling?
 
Welcome to TechSpot with your first post. Enjoy your time here!

As to your question, your temps are WELL withing range. I wouldn't worry about trying to cool her any more.

Just my $.02
 
Check your CPU temps. 40C ambient is horrible (IMHO), with stock cooling your dual Xeons must be running at like 55-60C. My ambient temp is usually around 20-25C. Your room must be hot.
It shouldn't be that big of a deal, but if you plan on keeping your $600 pair of processors around for a few years you might look into getting better cooling. Small, thermally unefficient cases (LANFire) aren't designed to hold 2 processors.
 
My ambient is about 15-20C and the CPU runs at around 40C maxing out at 43C after extensive gaming, esspecially if the computer has been on all day.

Prior to installing / replacing the 2 case fans with £2 LED colourBurst ones, and also cleaning the cpu fan, I was often hitting 57C

It pays to have good air flow, and clean kit.
