CPU & MB Temps

Get a nice thermaltake case or something from ocuk,

Look for ones with 2 or 3 fans, 120mm ones

A good case providing good cool air intake and good hot air exhaust. I.e.. a fan at the front and back fitted with 120MM would be nice. One on the roof would be even better... but I've not seen many cases with ones on the roof though.

A new case will be on my list

I will look on overclockers web site

I get 33c idle on my cpu and 41c full load and case is around 35c.

right my old xp-m used to run up to about 55c, when it got to 60c it used to reset the pc.

new opteron runs way cooler at 48c max load.

if you are worried about your temps then run snm fpu test for about an hour and see how hot your cpu gets. if its under 55c then there is nothing to worry about.

no point telling us what your idle temps are because thats is whats confusing everyone. you mention that your temps are 38c, i thought that is your idle temps which would be a little on the high side since my cpu idles at around 26-28c depending on room temp.

until you run a stress tester to find out your max load temps your not going to get anywhere.

My CPU idles at 40c and my motherboard 35c

 

[Cyber-Mav]

idle at 40 is not too bad i guess, my old xp-m idled at almost 40c but your A64 should run a lot cooler even on stock heatsink.

i suspect your case cooling is not as good as it can be.

ive got a tj06 case and that will give ya a case temp of around 25-26c, nice case also

I am looking for a new case which can house x2 120mm fans , at the mo my case has 120mm out and one 80mm in ,

 

[james.miller]

why are his motherboard temps really high? maybe that reading is the chipset temp, not the ambient.

CPU Temp = 38
M/Board Temp = 40

I have double checked , i am very disapointed , i had better temp readings with my old cooler Akasa AK856

i think james.miller means the chipset on the motherboard is 40, rather than the ambient temp of the motherboard. and i really wouldnt worry about those temps they arent that bad at all cpus are safe up to like 60 and you cant really trust temp probes anyway. mine read 59 on the cpu with swiftech water cooling. using a proper temperature probe the reading was found to be nearer 36 :/

 

[james.miller]

it's bound to be, unless he's suggesting the cpu is actually cooler than the ambient temp. which is impossible on air btw.

 

[Ladforce]

and water. unless its chilled

 

[S-H-A-N-E]

The temp reading are taken from Everest

 

[Ladforce]

all progs like that use the same sensors though. all sensors have tolerances so dont give the right readings usually + some just dont work at all

 

[S-H-A-N-E]

I guess its better getting the readings in the bios

What case do you use james ?

 

[james.miller]

thermaltake soprano mate

every single fan in my pc is a 120mm

Yes they are great , i might get one

I see their are 4 version of the case James , which one do you have
