Temp Advice Pls

I know I need to do some cable management, but, meh!!! What I have done is lifted the case from the floor onto a small desk to give some more airflow around it.

I wanted to make sure my temps were ok.

All running stock- Idle Temps

Antec 900-2 Case

Gainward 4870 x 2 GS - 47 Deg C

P6T Deluxe Board running i7 920 2.66 - All cores between 27 and 30 Deg C

Noctua NH-U12P cooler, front fan blows, rear fan sucks.

FWIW 3 fans on front of case are on low, the ones on the back are set medium and the one on top set low.

What are full load temps like.

Ermm, may sound stupid, whats the best way to test underload and be able to look at temps at the same time? I could run into the pink but how do you view what the temps are doing?

Im using realtemp for CPU and just the Catalyst Control Centre for video

Try GPU-Z I beleive this plots the temperature of the GPU or Riva tuna.

ShaggyRS6 · 14 Feb 2009 at 19:31

Ok, all cores maxed at 40Deg C and the GPU was 66Deg C playing Crisis

HWMonitor

I installed HW Monitor and it shows a change of +8 Deg to Real Temp

Which one to trust?

Big.Wayne · 14 Feb 2009 at 20:06

Real Temp v3.00

ShaggyRS6 · 14 Feb 2009 at 20:52

So given my results with Realtemp, how do they look?

Yamahahahahaha · 14 Feb 2009 at 20:58

If CPU full load temps are under 60C, that's fine.

If GPU full load temps are under 90C, that's fine too.

These are both ballpark figures but tend to be hold true.

Great, thanks mate.

Just resurrecting this. I put SETI o the PC as i thought that would be a good way of testing it. SETi after 60 mins see temps of 55-59 Deg C

This ok?

nelsby · 17 Feb 2009 at 09:01

Seems fine to me

ShaggyRS6 · 17 Feb 2009 at 09:03

Great thanks. When do I need to start worrying? Anything over 60?

Hi, I have just finished my new build with a i920 in an ATCS 840 case, Asus P6T.

I have not got my Vista 64 yet so just ran up the bios and the temps are 37-38 for CPU and 45 for the mobo are these OK as the system is not even under load yet!!

Maybe I need to stick that additional cooler onthe back!

Will run Realtemp once I install Vista tomorrow!!

Temps look fine, idealy check once windows is installed and check at full load with Real Temp or Core Temp.

lunarwolf · 18 Feb 2009 at 12:23

core temp works with G15 keyboard

so i use that
