Hey all,
So, just got RealTemp installed (thanks to moogle for the recommendation!) and looking over my temperatures.
My Q8300 Quad Core is reading as:
Core 0: 43C
Core 1: 33C
Core 2: 36C
Core 3: 36C
(on average)
And my 560Ti GPU is currently at a solid 48C.
All temperatures are on low load (Firefox with several tabs, couple of Windows Explorer folders). Is this a little high? Should I be thinking about more cooling? Usually when my processor is under load I whack the CPU cooler up to max (around 3300RPM), which sometimes isn't enough as I hear a beeping from the motherboard though it doesn't happen often.
I have three fans, one which came with my CoolerMaster Elite 335 case, another 120mm 2000RPM for the front sucking air in and the CPU Cooler. Current specs are as follows:
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L Motherboard
Intel Q8300 2.5Ghz Quad Core
6GB DDR2 800Mhz
2x 1TB HDDs (7200RPM and 5400RPM respectively)
Asus 560Ti DirectCUII TOP Graphics Card
2x DVDRW
Cheers,
