Zxian Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 wow that is high, rly high. espeically since we have essentailly the same computers. how many fans do you have?my cpu is around 28C, gpu around 35C, hdds around 27C, mobo around 36CYou've also got 3 more fans than he does - and I'm guessing that they're running faster than his are. Also, Ninja vs stock CPU heatsink. Even with an overclock, the Ninja outdoes most heatsinks out there these days.He's tried to go for quiet and reasonable computing, while you've probably aimed for maximum cooling. Oh... and 44C for a load temperature is not "really high". It's only high to those people who are completely paranoid about temperatures. Anything below 60C is perfectly acceptable for A64 systems.

ripken204 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 lol, thats somewhat true. the ninja is a beast, my since i have alot of fans, i run them at low speed. abput 5-7v instead of 12v. my comp is the quietest that ive ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 You haven't heard Mike Chin's (SPCR editor) computers then... he's got 4 running all the time in his basement, and it's a 17dBa ambient there. Very few people can beat that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) I've removed the front and top fan. My CPU and GPU temps went up 2C. I opened the window (a real window) and:CPU = -6CGPU = -13CHDD1 = -11CHDD2 = -10C...in the last 20-25 minutes.

3aces Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 can you do me a favour.....take a picture of the layout of your case and post in then we can see how we can improve some stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) can you do me a favour.....take a picture of the layout of your case and post in then we can see how we can improve some statsA picture has already been taken: Here. It's of when I still had those two fans in my PC. And to improve your stats, place your PC on the windowsill when it's really cold out.

3aces Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 ok, what you do is spend some cash, by your self cpu cooler....along zalman lines.....by some good AS5.....and run that in for a bit, and give us some temp readings i think the layout is ok you may have to change you cpu cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash is something I don't have a whole lot of and when I do it can't go towards my PC on a regular basis. I'm planning on replacing my CPU heatsink with an Arctic Cooling Freezer as explained earlier in this topic. The Zalman would be good but is too expensive for me at the moment. I already use AS5 out of preference although I don't think it matters a great deal specifically which paste you use. My temperatures as nowhere near anything to be worried about under full load as I did a lot of monitoring last night with Everest while talking to Punto on Skype. I'm not worried about them for the time being.I think people over-exagerate or become too paranoid about temperatures without actually experimenting by taking one fan out at a time and testing to see any difference in temperatures. I spent 10 minutes doing this and found out I don't need two fans that came with my case. I also realize I would be happier with a smaller case.

ripken204 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 you took fans out and the temp didnt change, i really dont see how that is possible. its not even like u have enough fans to allow you to take a fan out. if i turn any of my 4 upper chamber fans off, then my temps defiently go up a few degrees. btw, ur case is vry neat compared to how most ppl do their p180's.

Jeremy Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 I took the front and top fan out and my temps went up by a mere 2C, which is insignificant. And I'm not like most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 well that top fan is prolly the most useless, but the front fan is a must.. for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
