The sun's up and the weather is really nice but my rig is getting quite toasty .:cool:

What's yours like?:rolleyes:
 
GPU idling at 42 C
CPU idling at 56 C :(

Basically I have a q6600 overclocked and they run hot, my case is awful for air flow and designed around quiet and finally the room temp in my lounge is hotter than outside. It's ridculous if you watch TV, have the PS3 on and the PC. Room gets to like 30c+. Normally my CPU idles around 40-43c.
 
I am up about 10c on the cpu q6600 @ 3.5 ghz multi is 9x not 8x like real temp says weird with speed step on sure is humid

I'm having trouble with my overclock doing strange things at the moment, but I refuse to run Prime95 for any period of time or I'll probably start to cook myself in my room :) I managed about 12 hours of Prime before Windows Update ruined it all :( I also don't really wanna run it at 4GHz because it's just too hot!

36-44 is probably about right for idling with it reaching 61-62 at load. My desktop pic probably show you how I feel about the heat :p

46 46 46 43 here, saw 50c earlier, my room is the baking one though where the whole heat collects in the house i swear..
 
Guess I need to re seat my heatsink then, since my i7 920 is sitting around 50c - 55c idle :o and I under clocked it!

My GTX 280 idles around 70c as well, eeek.....
 
Computers are nothing but heaters. I've got a 200-400W heater sitting in my room pumping out warm air :/

Small room with 3.4ghz I'm looking at 40 on the cores and 27 ambient. It's much cooler outside right now but critters get attracted to the light if I open windows.
 
CPU 31c, GPU 37c

But then the room didn't go above 19c.... My room was also the hottest in the house so a few years ago I decided to do something about it and installed some air conditioning.
 
Both of my two rigs blue screened a lot over the weekend, more so yesterday. I had to decrease one rig to stock voltages and reduce the overclock from 3.8GHz & 2.4GHz [NB Freq.] to 3.6GHz & 2.2GHz which decreased the temps a lot and the other from 4.0GHz & 2.8GHz to 3.8GHz & 2.6GHz.

I wasn't too impressed but i've come to the conclusion that it might be possibly better to overclock on stock voltages rather than increase voltages, i'm using a Corsair H50 btw.
 
All seems good @ 3.7 ghz. Room temp 27 deg. (Small office with 24/7 pc's, Photocopiers, scanners, and monitors.)

Got Prime 95 running in the background too..;)

Ambient room temp about 25C, I find if I keep the window and door open and get a slight breeze through the room, it helps the temps in my box quite considerably...
