You have a fan on the side of your case. my guess blowing towards your memory slots beside your cpu,This will cool much better and that is why you have a drop in your temps,if you had 1 fan in front and two in the back you will see your temps go down even more depending on the fan speed.You need equal amount or more fans out the back to suck out the heat from the case,In your case you have 2 fans in the front and side blowing and only one in the back sucking the heat.Thats not good but it will do,You also ahve 2 gigs of ram in your othermobo which will make more heat,If you have dual fan power supply that would be even circulationlyam77 said:thanks.Is it very expensive the water cooling?
I have 2 pcs with pentium 4 prescott 3.2.Both have the same brand of fans and the same casing.
Intel d865perl motherboard
1 gb kingston ddr 400
matrox videocard 32mb
standart Intel cpu fan.
2 fans front,1 fan on the side and 1 in the back
The temperature of this computer is average 40 degrees
my other one
Asus p4p800
intel cpu fan
nvidia 5600
2 gb of ram
soundblaster live value
1fan on the side
2 fans front, 2 fans back
The temperature for this one on average is between 48-58 degrees.
Why is their such a difference? Is is bad for my cpu?
Thanks for replying to me.I will buy more fans.The only thing about that is that the more fan,the louder it gets.I didn't realise that the extra 1gb of ram could make a difference in the cpu temp. I am starting to consider buying a better cpu heatsink.By the way....I don't want to sound dumb,but what is a dual fan power supply?I guess 2 fan in the power supply?Paul said:You have a fan on the side of your case. my guess blowing towards your memory slots beside your cpu,This will cool much better and that is why you have a drop in your temps,if you had 1 fan in front and two in the back you will see your temps go down even more depending on the fan speed.You need equal amount or more fans out the back to suck out the heat from the case,In your case you have 2 fans in the front and side blowing and only one in the back sucking the heat.Thats not good but it will do,You also ahve 2 gigs of ram in your othermobo which will make more heat,If you have dual fan power supply that would be even circulation
Well they do have heat spreaders to keep the memory cooler,If you have all 4 slots filled you will have more heat,To bad most sit so close to the cpu that makes heat,regarding the 2 fan supply yes you have one on the bottom of the power box and an other exiting your tower.This will help cooling.lyam77 said:Thanks for replying to me.I will buy more fans.The only thing about that is that the more fan,the louder it gets.I didn't realise that the extra 1gb of ram could make a difference in the cpu temp.

Any suggestion??
Thanks

The AMD box is in line with others I've seen, so no worry there. You could get a better hsf and drop temps nicely. A friend had a Athlon 1400 (about 70 watts of heat to get rid of) that ran at 58 all the time, now with a copper hsf it runs at 42. Pretty good cooling with just a cheap ocz copper hs and stock AMD fan.
As well, what pookie are you using on the hsf's? If it's not artic silver or similar you're cheating yourself out of better cooling.
I just serached their site and found nothing called aquagate. Google found a ton of stuff, but not at the price you mentioned. Can you link me in?goodson said:I would seriously consider getting a coolermaster aquagate for your system. You need two 5 1/2 inch bays available to install it internally or you can set it up externally. the street price is $199 but there is a shop in Bellevue, Wa called Computerstop which has a web special price of $119.00. It is a great deal and it works great and looks great. You might want to check out the koolance web site for additional water blocks for your video card, northbridge and hard drive. don't make the mistake I made of installing the various waterblocks piecemeal- do them all at once if you can afford it and save yourself alot of hassle. I also got a new case at computerstop- an IN-WIN for about $70. The case really helped drop the ambient/ motherboard temps and of course the water cooler got my overclocked Prescott's (3.4E OC'd to 3.6 with FSB at 1022) tempertures and Nvidia 6800GT down dramatically. If I have it run in silent mode I idle around 40 and get up to 45-50 depending on the game, but if I crank up the aquagate fan I can play hardcore for hours and not get over 40. THis works great because even with the fan on high, I dont notice it with headphones and if I want it quiet while I do something else, I just turn the fan down and it is dead silent. :giddy:
