What temps to expect

[mattup]

Hi all.

I am currently running an Opti 170 at 2.8Ghz on 1.325Volts
Cooling it and my X1900XTX is the Swiftech Ultra with the Swiftech MCW60 VGA block. The Case is an Eclipse with 2 X Panaflow L1A fans.

Room temps are 21-25C.

What temps should I be seeing?

Currently idle is 34-36, load is 42-46.

Although not high, I thought the temps should be lower than they are?

Any thoughts?

Matt

Those temps seem very reasonable.

Back-of-the-envelope figures:

2.8 Ghz Opty 170 @ default volts = 140 watts

room temp = 24'c

load temp = 44'c

20/140 = .14 ' C/W

Seems about right.

Its always nice to know what temps a rig should run at.
