26°C Idle! Stock cooling!

[Viditor]

I've owned many processors with many different cooling solutions and I have yet to come close to getting my processor temperatures anywhere near my room temperature

Ummm...I think you misread that. My CPU is ~7C warmer than the room temp (though I just finished some heavy gaming so no it's at 34C...12C above ambient)

I have a Palermo 2800+ 256k with a DFI 250GB@2.4ghz 1.49v load *1.45v turned out unstable after 6hrs of P95TT* in my kids' boxen. Stock cooling+Ceramique' since it was purchased in FS/FT, and the fan stops spinning once the post starts, and doesn't start till half way through loading to desktop, even with a 25c threshold Under P95TT load, it is still in the low-mid 40's *depends on ambient in the comp room* and yes the heatsink is only slightly warm at the bottom. I have it set not to ramp the fan fully till 50c so it hasn't even reached a noisey RPM level yet.

Again I am sorry but...
There is NOWAY you will br running temperatures that are below your ambient room temperature.
Just noway--without some heavy liquid cooling!!

Idle=39 Load=57

x2 3800 full load both cores(using BOINC) 42c

My a64 3200+ idles at 19C @ stock speeds beat that!

What's the room temp?

19c is approx 66 degrees.....
Whats your room temperature?
You didn`t specify air or water cooling?

Thus if your CPU idkles at 20c.....since it is impossible to have a lower CPU temperature than your ambient room temperature....
You are iether living at the north pole and not heating your house or you have a liquid cooled rigg.....

Anyways thats a nice temp!!

since it is impossible to have a lower CPU temperature than your ambient room temperature

Not impossible, but the difference certainly can't be very much at all. If the ambient temperature is in a still environment, then the HSF could theoretically produce a CPU temp below room temp...though I certainly can't fault your skepticism.

I'm running two AMD systems at the moment.

A 4400+ X2 using a Zalman Cooler but running at stock speeds. It idles at 24C.

I also have a 90nm 3000+ running in my Media Center. It's using the stock cooling solution that came with my Shuttle case it's in. The PC is always on and running Folding@Home while recording TV, etc. Even after weeks of running at 100% load in sits at 38C. (running the cooling fan at 42% using speedfan)

AMD's have been great for cooling lately.

The case temp is 22C, and I am running a danger den cooling setup, forgot to mention that I might have forgot to mention that on purpose . I mounted the rad outside of the case and the ac vent is very close to my puter. With it overclocked at 2.4 i idle around 23C.
