Case is very cold in Los Angeles.

[moolman]

Hi,
I live in Los Angeles and we are going through a cold spell, well lately I noticed that my cpu temp is 27C idle and it never went that low before, usually idle at 32C, and my case temp is 23C, I thought the temp reading might be broken but just in case, anybody else in the LA area experience similar things.

I live in Orange County and my temps are running the same as yours are. Mother nature is providing free cooling I like it

My case ambient temp hit about 18C last night.

Dont u ppl use air conditioning? =D

However, during the summer at south central LA. My CPU running at 60 degrees, compare to the my normal 30 degrees.

 

[atomicbomberman]

lol.. no $hit, same in Sunnyvale

system temp right now: 16 C(blue orb and arctic silver on chipset)
cpu temp: 23 C(supa orb, arctic silver, and VERY NICE case cooling)

i live up in la crescenta, ~30 min from LA, on top of the hill. VERY cold, temps in the 30's outside. i love it!! =)

Like dadx2mj said, we're just getting some free cooling courtesy of mother nature.

you guys don't switch your heaters on during winter??
how can the ambient temperature so low??
normally the optimum indoor temperature for human is 24-27 c

 

[Mikewarrior2]

well, air temp around my house has dipped to around 36F at night around here. Or around 2C.

Switch on a heater in the winter?

Son, I grew up in Vermont. What I see here in L.A. doesn't even begin to quality as "winter."

 

[TuffGuy]

yup, mine are running much cooler also. try leaving the window open at night. they should drop even more...

 

[Garyrom]

damn, just paid a fortune for the new Addtronic's case and don't need it now.

With enough computers running you don't need a heater running. 8)

Besides that with the threat of rolling blackouts it's best to save the power for only vital things, ie heating off, computer on. 8)

Anyway I avoid turning the heater on if I can, that's why I have sweats, and thick socks and blankets etc. Besides hate it when people leave and leave the heater on, so it's an oven when I get home.

yeah thats what its like in ct, but in my basement even during warm summer nights, it was freezin cold in my pc room, heh heh, good air flow, now heat issues. must suck in LA in the summer

 

[Supradude]

Gotta love this OC friendly weather !!! case temp 25c cpu temp 29c...

 

[tweakr]

Woohoo, case temp of 18.5c at midday! Gotta love Scotland's natural cooling ability - if I open the window, I can get as low as 9c! And yeah, I got the K6-2 on all the time to provide heating to my room .

 

[heng1028]

do you guys know why my mobo temp is always higher than the cpu temp??

when the cpu temp is rising, it will rise according to the cpu temp

always few degrees higher than the cpu temp.

 

[Mikewarrior2]

What program are you using to read the temps? i have a feeling that either the SE6 has a problem reading internal diode temp, or that you have the two measurements switched around, since even at idle, the cpu temp will not be lower than mb chipset temp(even without a heatsink).

i am using the SE6 hardwaredoctor that come with the mobo itself.

any idea the cpu temp is always lower than the board temp??
even i open all the windows during winter time

the temp of mobo is 20 celcius and the cpu temp is 23 celcius

wonder why???

 

[Mikewarrior2]

try mbm, it may be a problem with the hardware doctor program.
