VERY happy with new setup :D

Just got my new setup all installed!

E2180 now @ 3.00ghz
HD 3850 Pro 512mb
Asus P5KC Mobo

Managed to get 10221 in 3d mark and so far CPU idles at 13 degrees celcius and max temp so far is 28 degrees. (hopefully lot more room for OCing!)

I love going to graphics settings on games and switchin everything to high! Such a big diff from my AMD64 3400+!!!

Still need to do some Orthos, but so far so good!

theres no way your cpu idles at 13degrees C

Check that with the coretemp program. Only way it could idle at that is if your bedroom is way below freezing

Nicfish · 26 Dec 2007 at 00:08

buggery, gettin all my hopes up for nothing!

steve258 · 26 Dec 2007 at 00:14

Is your graphics card overclocked to break 10K? If not then that's a very nice score.

Nicfish · 26 Dec 2007 at 00:18

Im not sure what the card is at becuase i cant get CCC to open!

What program should i use for finding CPU temps, cause Motherboard Monitor seems to lie!

steve258 · 26 Dec 2007 at 00:26

Speed fan & core temp, trusts nothing else

Nicfish · 26 Dec 2007 at 00:41

Speed fan is sayin the cores are idling at 19, is that better?

TBirdUK · 26 Dec 2007 at 00:42

use everest - had the same problems with coretmp and speedfan showing low temps - everest is the only one I have found to be reliable so far.

Nicfish · 26 Dec 2007 at 00:49

core temp was tellin me the same as other two, but everest wont even seem to give my CPU temps, just HDD temps and Mobo temps. Unless im looking in the wrong place

Computer/Sensors/Temperatures ?????

The latest Speedfan will tell you the CPU Temp, then the Real Core Temps (3 readings in total), they 2 Core Temps will be 7-15C higher depending on CPU Model.

Nicfish · 26 Dec 2007 at 01:03

there showin 19-20C idle. This normal?

helmutcheese · 26 Dec 2007 at 01:10

Well thats sorted, can anyone help out and tell me whats wrong with CCC. I click to open it, nothing happens!

steve258 · 26 Dec 2007 at 02:10

Do you have NET framework 2.0 installed as it's required to run CCC? the latest version is 3.0 which is available from windows update.

Actually, depends what your room temperature is.
By any chance do you live in an igloo? or any other scuptured ice form..

I heard he was in a hotel, actually.

i find this programme excellent for volts/temp reading(sys/cpu on-die/gpu)

hope this helps

iKettles · 26 Dec 2007 at 20:42

Nicfish · 26 Dec 2007 at 21:02
