shygye Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I downloaded SpeedFan to monitor my computer's temperature. At an ambient temp. of 20C I have, Core 0: 30C Core 1: 33C Temp1: 34C HD0: 35C at "idle", ie, no video conversion active. :content: Anyone else tracking temperatures?

The_Munchmaster Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Have you got nothing better to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elroy Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Had a Dell desktop once that seemed very hot. Unfortunately, there was no way to increase the fan speed. Checking temps confirmed it was hot, around 50 degrees centegrade. Luckily I found a program on the net that could make the fan spin faster. It was noisier but cooled down to under 40.

USVirgin Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Interesting...just downloaded it. My old laptop has been running hot and will shut down if the room temp is hot. My theory is that it's the result of feeding the fan a steady diet of cigarette smoke for a couple of years. It's at 48C now. I hope I can get this thing to adjust the fan speed. Thanks.

khunsanuk Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi, Very crappy website; way too many annoying links in the content and it wasn't clear at all how/where to download the file from initially. Anyway, need little program. My readings are: GPU: 55C Temp1: 42C Temp2: 39C Temp3: 20C HD0: 39C Core: 47C It's still early here though Had a PC a couple years back that would crash whenever I tried watching any video. Found out that the temp inside the machine was 70+C, running video increased that and crashed the machine. Now using a big cooling element (no noise). Sanuk!

Pom Michael Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Now using a big cooling element (no noise). What is this? How to install for a 2 year old tower computer (with lots of space inside)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi, Check this page: http://www.busitek.com/forms/strongcooling.html I am using one of those big copperwire rings. Not the same as the one shown though. No idea if you can install it, but would imagine you can. You could check with that shop. Very professional. Sanuk!

Pom Michael Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Zalman CNPS9900LED It that what you mean? Is there a liquid inside? http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2362 Found the answer. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi, Yep, that's the one I meant. No liquid inside, just massive amount of surface to make it easier for heat to dissipate. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 FWIW: Using Everest Ultimate Edition (excellent program) to check temps, my Intel E8400 core 2 Duo, w/ OEM Intel fan, 2-2GB RAM shows: M-board: 36C CPU: 45C Core1: 45C Core2: 42C ...and what boggles me is my Radeon HD4800 GPU runs at 77-82C!! And that is _normal_ according to Radeon! If I decide to overclock, then I'll get a cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
