just noticed my new 2160 build is running a little chilly( easytune lists at 16c bios states 17c hand in the case and it feels chilly

this is not on my heating might have to go on this winter unless i bring the s939 opty out of retirement :)


oh and on a matx gigabyte board with stock cooler in a standard tower case(no case fans fitted yet)
 
its just a strange feeling after owning a few old pentiums and some opterons, you kinda get used to the nice warm footstool :)

and that stock cooler is bloody quiet (even more so with the fan managment on as it was spooling at 69901299 rpn at most

might have to stick a few deltas in there to get it back to what i'm used to :)
 
i remember my old Northwood build. ran at 3.4 stock. kicked out about 40C idle, with a Thermalright XP-120.

awesome.

i was once at a mates house for about a week, and they didn't have the heating on at night, so it got FREEZING.

after the first night, i just booted the PC up (it was in my room) and put Prime95 on and ati-tool for the GFX and i was toasty-warm :) :D
 
if you want heat, try a oced q6600 B3 and hd2900s running as fast as you can coupled with some crt monitors (this should keep you nice and toasty for the winter) and miminise ventilation in your room as well to really make it unbearably hot
 
going to put the side panels on later :) ran primce all night and still only got 19c

Its not 19C at the processor core. lol.

25C at-least, probs more like 30-35.

It may well be, a guy I talk to has his E6600 at 1.41V, 3Ghz and his idle temps are 23 degrees, so with a CPU like that it could be 19, what the temp says in Windows is fine for most people since its been reported from the CPU Core.

What I like to do when its cold is even tho I am at 3.2Ghz now since I got my extra ram, I still up the volts of the CPU to 1.55V which is 1.47V at load, then I overclock my 2900XT and get that nice and warm they you get this hot air stream coming out of the back, but atm I put my foot in my pc case and it's pretty cold.

Its weird, today aint really that much of a cold day, but at 3.2Ghz, 1.45V (1.38V load) my CPU is reporting 23 degrees idle, some days when it feels colder the CPU is hotter and other days when its hotter the CPU is colder, apparently there is something different in the air apart from temperature that can determin CPU Temp, someone said something to do with positive ions or something :confused:
 
i hope all of you know that a non-calibrated temperature sensor is about as valuable an accurate measurement of core temperature as a random guess?

also, its impossible for the Core temp to be less than the ambiant air temperature.
its also impossible to have the core temp AT the ambient air temp, unless you have a cooler with 100% efficiency, which, by the way, is impossible.

Well, I know for a fact it is possible for people rooms to be 19 degrees, in winter for half the day my room is around 20 degrees, its proberbly around 22 now or so, hotted up abit, cpu idling at 25 degrees now.

Mt CPU Core temp for 0 and 1 show 25 now, I know it aint proberbly right, but as long as it does not ever show above 65 degrees I aint really bothered.

Lowest GPU temp was 29C with a 12C intake temp.

Lowest C2D temp was 24C with a 12C intake temp.

Oh and thats at 2.8ghz 1.2V, with a TT120.


So those temps with a stock cooler and no case fans?

No chance. Not one!
 
****NEWSFLASH****

Intel have just released a new chip called the RH6600 'RoomHeater6600'. The CEO of Intel explained this chip as a "revolutionary way of lowering your Gas bill".
 
Haha. I very much doubt its 16c unless your room is ridiculously cold. If you aren't wearing a coat its wrong :p
