How much of a difference does this heat wave make?

lol

i am currently downclocked to my 4.2Ghz profile

working much better atm than my 4.4ghz

I was at 3.9 rock stable on my 920 i7 and it would hit 90 ish in prime 95

now at 3.5ghz and in prime 95 hitting 90, so big hit for me

Well that makes me feel better, if the same is true for my CPU then I should be able to hit 4GHz with good temps no problem.

5-10 degrees extra on my main rig which is watercooled, but a whopping 15-20 degrees extra on my second rig which is air cooled. Load temps by the way. As for me, i am cooked. Too hot for me!!

I am back down to 4.2 from 4.5 just precautionary.
Idle temps up to 35 from 32. :cool:

BinnsY · 1 Jul 2009 at 15:41

My idle temps are up by just over 10C, from around 37 to high 40s, my graphics has also been hit pretty hard, used to peak at about 85 now its at 92

Still running fine though

Must be a n. ireland thing too, unfortunately my pc is in a room that gets direct sunlight from dawn to dusk, case and monitor are to big, and heavy to move to any other room.

cool ive always wanted to live in a lighthouse

Look what the weather did to mine ................ hope its misreporting

Ninja Please! · 1 Jul 2009 at 20:34

Either that or your typing that from the other side having died in a fire an all.

Big.Wayne · 1 Jul 2009 at 20:37

mollymoo, that's either a faulty DTS sensor or a slight bug from using different temp apps where they clash with each other!

Angst · 1 Jul 2009 at 21:56

the only effect the heatwaves had on me is about 2c

Ducky Spud · 1 Jul 2009 at 22:09

Haha, well mines not got upto 211

But has increased a bit, especially when gaming and benching

I have no other monitoring apps on bar this one and it just seems to happen once in a blue moon and sends my comp to sleep so yeah I would say a faulty sensor ................ pretty wacky huh :rolleyes:

OK - the other day I was idling at about 52 degrees - not it is 37 degrees

I ran prime on weds and it went to 90 degrees in about 30secs - not it hovers around 60 degrees. That can't be right?

Ducky Spud · 4 Jul 2009 at 00:01

I wrote down my temps the other day when I posted here and it was boiling, at idle cores for 44 and 45. Today when the weathers been back to normal, 37 and 38! 7 degree difference, thats quite a lot!!!

DragonQ · 4 Jul 2009 at 00:04

My idle temps have dropped around 10C compared to this time yesterday.

DragonQ · 4 Jul 2009 at 02:31

Wow, my load temps have dropped 15C also (from 88C max to 73C max). I look forward to breaking 4GHz soon then!

explicit4u · 4 Jul 2009 at 09:16

Although im starting to doubt its the heat, but my i7 920 at stock (with stock HS/Fan) has gone from around 32-40 on idle (at x12 multiplier) to around 50-60 on idle (still at x12 multiplier).

DavyBoy · 4 Jul 2009 at 09:29

My idle temps have went up a full 5c because of this heat!!!
