System temps and cooling questions

fitzy2003 · 27 Oct 2007 at 20:15

my full system is below.i have the 3 120mm fans running that came with the case.should i upgrade the cpu fan though cause im using the one that came with the processor.my temps are below all idle.

my graphics card idle is 53c

mainboard 32c .
cpu1 43.0c.
cpu1 core 28.0c
cpu0core 28.0c

HDD temp 40.0c

is this ok temps or should i get some extra cooling in there

Antec Case P182
Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.66GHz (1333FSB)
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
Western Digital Caviar 400GB 7200RPM S300 16MB
Corsair Memory 520 Watt, ATX, EPS12V, PS/2, Modular Power Supply
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 2900 Pro SILENT Heatpipe 512MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)

what are you using to record these temperatures?

Also i can assure you that if your running at stock speeds on everything the Antec P182 will be ample cooling.

:EDIT:

where have you put your hd? Put it infront of one of the fans at the front of the case and it will be cooler.

temps seem fine for stcok. Could change the cpu cooler if your thinking of overclocking the E6750 thou

the 15 degree diff between cores and cpu looks off, seems like another CoreTemp anomaly to me.

Yeh, technically its impossible for the motherboard to be hotter than the core temperatures.
If those are all idle temperatures and your using the wrong version of coretemp (with 85tjunction instead of 100) then your running the processor at 43c idle, which to me seems warm for that spec, but not dangerously.

Cooling the HD down wont make much difference, i believe google did a study on keeping hard drives at different temperatures and found the warmer ones lasted aslong/longer.

ok just used coretemp and got these results

As you can see, it states a tJunction of 85, which is wrong.
It uses the tjunction to calculate the temperatures. The real tjunction for your chip is 100c, so just add 15c to all the readings and thats your real temperature readings.
