Good Temp?

I have a Taisol CGK742092 Heat sink with stock Delta 21CFM fan on it with Artic Silver II applied and am running a 1.2GHZ T-Bird (9x133) on an MSI K7T Turbo Motherboard. The BIOS says my CPU Temp is anywhere from 29 degrees celsius to 55 degrees celsius, are these good numbers? My case has not been over 34 degrees celsius and ususually stays around 27 degrees with two case fans running. Thanks.
 
because if you're using 2 greases, the second grease(which, in this case, would be the pad) would act as an insulator, preventing heat from passing through the grease to the heatsink. Resulting in very poor cooling performance.

do you mean the pad on the HSF?? I never heard about that, so do you think i should take off pad and apply arctic silver on core only?

thanks
 
if i have an asus a7v133, 1.2@1.35ghz tbird on a lapped taisol cgk742 with arctic silver II, ang getting temps 49c idle and 54c full load.. is this bad?
 
lillazy23,

Yeah, the default heatsink thermal pad. Also, your comments to Seotaiji are misleading. Those are very typical of a7v class mb temps.


SEOTAIJI,

What reading program are you using? And what is your mb/case temp? In general though, your temps are fine for an a7v class mb.

I have taken the thermal pad off of the heatsink and just put the artic silver on there, how can I cool this thing more?
 
I always remove that sorry pad off any heatsink and lap it. Then slap on some artic silver. People usually neglect case cooling, the worlds best heatsink can only work as good as the air it has to work in. If you have room in the back of the case, it always makes a dramatic improvement to stick an 80mm blowing cold air in directly on the heatsink/fan. Another more radical approach is to add an 80mm near the top of the case to exhaust air. I'm using 5 fans in my case along with aluminum ducts in the back to vent hot exhuast air from the power supply away from the intake of cool air for the cpu. I've also flipped my case upside down so that the cpu is at the bottom of the case. Any hot air left in the case will rise up away from the cpu. End result, with an FOP38 modified with an 80mm itself, (6800rpm delta was driving me mad) my cpu temps are 31c at idle and 39c at full load.
 
Dramatic changes Rouge 1979! I'm getting inspired here, want to bust the 1Ghz line with my setup.
If you have any pic's of your sweet rig, would it be able to behold them?
 
lapped is smoothing the surface via sandpaper of various grades, I did a quick lapping of my volcano II, the surface was really too ridged for good conductivity.
