HOT

rallyslag · 30 Jun 2010 at 11:59

Its time to worry about temperature again . My trusty old e6600 @3.2 is getting a bit hot . Its 27c in this room(yesterday i measured 33c and idle temps in the 50`s) and as you can see my idle temps are hot , but which monitor do i belive speed fan and real temp are 10c apart with coretemp sitting on the fence . THeses are idle temps . under orthos real temp gets into the hi 60`s within minutes and would hit the 70`s if i carried on . I`m only using 1.25 volts in bios and i have good airflow , i`m using a siverstone fortress. Oh yeh an frezer 7 pro cpu cooler aswell.

If realtemp is to be belived ,then things are too hot even in this weather :confused:

any thoughts ?????

Whats it doing in here, can a mod move please .. SORRY... DOH :eek:

You're prob better off in the cpu or hardware forum with this

Coretemp is usually quite accurate... but those temps seem fine to me.

Yeh i know , its suposed to be in the o/c and cooling :confused:

only noticed after posting ... The e6600 doesnt run as hot as new cpu,s 65c is max safe at load :mad:

and if i run orthos it heads quickly to 70 and beond(real temp) , but if i trust core temp i stay just within safe ...

Those temps are fine dude, mine get higher.

This is best off in HW OC and cooling

The e6600 is a 65nm processor , so doesnt handle heat as well as new cpu`s

Hmm at the end of the day the arctic freezer 7 is a budget cpu cooling solution, so the cooling isn't going to be fantastic - especially in this weather. I wouldn't worry about it too much though anyway, the computer wont get anywhere near as loaded as orthos stresses it. And you said yourself the temps are still within safe limits. As long as its stable and doesn't have to throttle itself it should be ok.

Just brought a Titan Fenrir v2 , only £30 . should help considering they recon this weather is going to last :cool:

3,000 RPM on CPU fan. That must be unbearably loud.

I know, my 1900rpm fan is stupidly noisy. My idle and load at the moment is about 40-45c idle and 80c load (H50, [email protected])

Might be worth cleaning it... was running at 94C Idle yesterday, cleaned it and now idle at 52C.

Acording to the add its 800-2200 rpm , but yeh even 2200 will be noisy . My case is quite good at soundproofing ,so we will see .. I supose if it is realy unbarable i can try 2 slow fans in push-pull setup.....

edited : Ah your talking about the fan on my cooler at the moment .DOH.

Cant hear it its only tiny....
