To hot?

[ubntfp]

I have a water cooled XP2400+

These are the temps after being on all night with the case open and a fan blowing in from the side, fan was of for 10 mins before I took screen capture.

Also think my HD's are maybe a little hot, I notice that my raid drives are not all showing as there should be 250gig (120 died). Are these normall temps?

Also is it possible for me to clock this and if so... how?  I'm going to build a new one soon so if it dies whilst clocking its not the end of the world.

Here are my specs,

Any comments would be appreciated, would be good if I could tidy this and have it for FS only but think it would struggle.

Where do you live? Saudi Arabia?

Either the temps being reported by the system are +10c off or the ambient temp in your environment must be 85 degrees or more.... either that or tower suffers from a serious lack of airflow.

I am air cooled and currently significantly overclocked. The folowing system has been on 24/7 for almost a week:



The average ambient temp in the tower environment is 68-75F or about 19-23c

My SATA RAID array does not show in Everest... those drives typically run around 45c under heavy use.

My system maxes out @:

CPU = 46c
Motherboard = 26c
PSU = 39c
HDD = 43c

What software are you guys using to get these temps? I used Speedfan, but I swear to god the temps must have been wrong, any help?

I just realized you are running an older processor... they do run hotter that the A64's. Even with that, if the temps snags you took were with the side of the tower off and a fan blowing on it for 10min,... either the motherboard is inaccurate - or - your ambient temp around the tower is very high - or - all of the above.

I have not run a XP processor for several years... as I recall it maxed out @ 55c and idled around 38-40c

I am currently designing a custom liquid system which, by the calcualtions, should run my system at or below ambient @ idle, including the GPU's. The rise should be less than 10c under full load. If I crank up the peliter on the radiator, it will run @ less than ambient under full load.

Right now I am working with the engineer @ http://www.tetech.com/ we are working out the condensation issues.

I posted from the same thing he did... Everest@home

I use speedfan as well.. it is correct on my system with the exception of the 12v rail. Unfortunately there is no way to apply a voltage offset for the PSU in speedfan so on my system it shows -.5 to -.6 less that the actual.



In speedfan you can apply an offset to the temps and the fan speeds in order to get them to read/display accurate numbers. You should use 2 other programs to verify the fans and temps before setting the offsets.

Speedfan reads my temps and fans correctly without offsets.

Not sure what is wrong with mine.

I do know that before water cooling my cpu used to average 55 - 60 C.  When I first installed FS used to push me to 40 but otherwise I was averaging 35 - 37 C.

I have (I forgot to put the power onto radiator) had my cpu temp up to 70 but only for a few secs.

the average temp in my flat is at this moment (Midnight) 27.1 C.

Here is the side of my PC:

Sorry the arrows grew when I shrunk the image to 800pixels.  I know the airflow is not good, there is no way for me to put a fan in the front :-( having 4 HD's so close, they have been upto 56 C.

Will make sure any new comp has space inbetween HD's for either water  / vapour cooling or fans, did see mention of somthing called a pommy but not been able to find any info on it / them.

OH MY GOD  :o Your watercooled with those temps?!

Dude you need to get a new case. Look at something of the size of the Thermaltake Soprano  or Lian Li PC60. Also clean up those wires!



Its not the greatest pic in the world, but as you can see there are almost no wires in my case at all. Also if you'll notice I have a 120mm fan in the rear of my case, a 120mm in the front, and a 92mm in the window. All of this keeps my temps looking like this



HDDs are 28C for the first one, and 32C for the second.
Remember thats aircooled

I am not sure.

But I do know my X850XT PE gets past 91degrees ingame no artifacts

I know the life of the card is gone, but I'm buying a DX10 card so, meh...

[ctjoyce]

91C or 91F. If its F then thats rathar cool. If its C, then god I hope you like to watch cards melt.

Sorry for hijacking thread

Jesus H Christ privet Pyle. Do you like cooking your hardware? Wow, I think I just died a little inside.

With the current drivers, my GPU core slowdown threshold is set to 145 C. As a matter of fact, it never exceeded the low 60's.

[ctjoyce]

Usually GPUs Idle at around 36C, and max out around 63C.

Anything more, and change up your cooling solution.

ATI (x800 and up) will safely run @ 80-85c. I agree it is best to keep them below 70. The critical temp (point of no return) on the newer cores is 110c.
