Idling at 26/26/26/28

Yeah, I agree. If you're setting a year-round overclock during the winter you've gotta crank the central heating up to thermo-nuclear levels for a few days whilst you're stress testing.

But i use my PC the other way arround, turn the heating lower and use the heat from my PC to warm the house!!!!

I do that in my room, a few hours in game and its toasty in here!!

idling at 25/23/23/23 for my 4GHz i7

11C ambient, apparently my room gets very cold

at full load temps are just slightly lower than in summer, only 1-2C difference

Currently idling at 30C at 4.5Ghz on my i7.

GTX479's idling at 30C with max voltages.

Cpu 920 4.2 Temp idle > 28:32:30:33 +/- 1'c > GPU GTX470 850:1700:200 1.025mv Temp idle > 28-29'c, central heating on low room temp > 19'c.

Yeah winter is great

Here are my temps as of 5 mins ago!
Before people say that they aren't correct I can assure you they are

I don't understand it, I'm idling (2.2 GHz) at 35-40 C

. Maybe cos my PC is under a desk and the rear is only ~10 cm from the wall? The air coming out of the back is a bit warmer than ambient.

Currently only using 2 fans out of about 9.

Winter is awesome for quieter operation IMO, not for higher overclocks.

Cleeecooo · 2 Dec 2010 at 18:58

normally i rely on my i7 to heat the room up along with the 8800GTX

angela · 2 Dec 2010 at 20:07

My CPU dropped from 65-67C on Prime95 to maximum of 59C after 8 hours of Primee95!

51C maximum while gaming (usually 53-55 c)

My 965 x 4 is down to 27'c at idle running at 4ghz.

If I put my EPU program on which down clocks it to 800Mhz, I get idle temps of 17'C!
