Temps?

[jaguarking11]

Well today was oficialy a hot day. And my room is always hot. In the winter it is hot because I live rite above the boiler and in the sumer it is hot because the sun hits it for most of the day. But tonite my room is so hot that my idle temps have gone to 33c with my fans on min. Strange thing is that I water cool a northwood 3.0C @ 3.6 and my load temps are close to 40.

I turned my fans up and my cpu is idling at 30c.

On my next rebuild I will buy a dual 120mm heatcore. The thing is my curent heatcore is not quite dual 120 but can do dual 92. I run a single 120 on it.


Well i was also thinking about a full car radiator and runing it pasive but I dont want high temps.

Any sugestions or advice?

Dual 120's would be nice, but it also depends on how much air the fans push/pull...

but you think its hot in NYC? hahah - what was it 70 today? Its hitting the 90's here already, and dont believe the weather guys, what thety say is the reading in the shade... I bet its hit 93 a few times this month already.

brother man its like 100 in my room tonite. The freaking water heater is also under my room, It heats up my place.

I swear sometimes I think im going through hell on earth. Its an inferno here.:mad:

How are you measuring those CPU temps?

oh, must have missed that part ^_^... ok - thought you were talking outside temps with window open. Sorry:lol:

IIRC there was a thread on BiT hwere someone used the radiator from a ford sierra, a largish saloon car. They were running it passive and got some very good results but i think it might have been outside.

Hang on ... Its 100 degrees F and your getting temps of 30 degrees C idle! (of course the motherboard sensors will be unreliable if thats what your using for measurement, but your not going to get better temps than that.

[jaguarking11]

Temps are from cpu die. Built in on the p4. My mobo is a ASUS p4p800deluxe. And the temps for mobo are 36c idle in this room.

I swear im living in an inferno. Between the heat from the p[c and the heat from trhe water heater downstairs im cooking with gas.

[Delirious]

i thought the temp readings on p4's was unreliable, i have almost the same setup, 2.3c w/p4c800-e del. My temps right now are 21c :blink: overclocked, water cooled, in a basement with 60f room temp.

I feel your pain though, used to live in a second story apartment, temps would hit the 80's even with all the windows open :mad:

Reason I asked is because those seem way too low. My 3.0 Northwood idled at 41° on air, and only dropped to 36° on water, according to the P4 die anyway. Loads hit the mid to high 40's. I have no idea how accurate those temps were, but the block and around the socket felt cool to the touch. With a jet impingement block on my 6800GT, the onboard temp sensor never rose over 33°. Judging by my systems stability, well, it was pretty damn stable ^_^

My current 754 AMD 64 3400 is supposedly running at 34° - 36° at idle and up to 48° load with the stock cooler. My GPU is at 55° idle and has hit 71° under a 4 hour Doom 3 session (Doom 3 rocks on my 3400 - I can play at 1280 x 1024 on ultra quality with my GT OC'd to Ultra).

Sounds like a miscalibrated temp sensor. But my truble is that with this overclock as soon as my core goes above 45c it crashes.

where the heck did you find a jet block for a GPU?

[Fibbles]

where the heck did you find a jet block for a GPU?Err, perhaps I used the wrong term, but if a jet block is like a Cuplex Pro, Alphacool's GPX (http://www.alphacool.de/upload//high/12234_1.jpg) is the GPU varient. Mine is a little different though. Instead of the flat looking grid on that block, mine's got a pin structure more like the Cuplex Pro/NexXxos HP Pro blocks. They make them in Northbridge varients too.

Here's My GPX (http://home.comcast.net/~sparkpug/Misc/GPX.jpg)

that's not a jet impingment block, it's a micropin/fin type design. jet impingment is the cascade, G5, and cuplex XT.

Ahh, I confused got that part. I couldn't remember what it was called, so I chose that one. Maybe Alphacool will make a GPU block based on the NexXxos XP, that way I can say I've got an impingement GPU block ^_^

So Star, how restrictive is that (micropin) design?

[Starbuck3733T]

Fairly, look at the CSA (cross sectional area) of the inlet in releation to the CSA of the pins that it's striking, that's a fairly large determining factor. but it will induce lots of turbulence.

erm.. the 2nd pic is less restrictive than the first one.
