Temps Seem a Bit High...

[Steedie]

Hey guys

Just been monitoring my temps after I noticed my NB fan starts to kick in at max after a while in games.

So played FEAR for an hour, and the max temps I got were these:

Question is, are these too high?

CPU temp is fine, and the X1800XT although it has a VF-900CU on it, is normal according to Google searches, the Mobo and NB temps are what is worrying me

I've got a good little set up going on with my case so air flow should be plenty, 1x 120mm Amber at the front(intake) and the same at the rear(exhaust) and I also have an 80mm Amber at the top of the case as an exhaust. Wires are tidy, so tidy infact that you can barely see them apart from the obvious ones

So why so high? Or is this normal for the DFI SLi-DR.

I've overclocked the 4400 to 2.61 on stock volts (HTT at 240x4 (stock nb volts))

Is it safe to run at near 60. I'm thinking its time to whack on a new NB cooler if not

Many thanks

They do seem fairly high - whats your northbridge and ldt volts? I removed the fan on my dfi expert and put on a zalman passive cooler with an 80mm fan blowing through it. Doesnt go over 45 when fan at 5v

What program are you using to get all those temps?

And I was considering the Zalman passive but the fact the X1800 hangs right over it would mean I'd have to bend it so much it probs wouldnt work as well as it should
