i am running a 2.53 running @ 2.71, RAM is 178.75 on defualt voltage , my idle cpu temp is ~48 degrees C and my system temp is ~37 degrees
is this decent? waht is the temp u have?

My 1.6a @ 2.4ghz idles at 38c with a motherboard temp at 29c. The room temp is 26c.

1.8 @ 2.23 VCore 1.65

Idles 37C-48C
Max temp under full load (Prime95): 52C (alpha pal and panaflo l1a)
Max temp of mobo: 32C


Case has one Papst 12dba intake and one exhaust.

P4 1.6A @2544MHZ

Idle Temp: 32 degrees C
Full Load Temp: 32 degrees C
Mobo Temp: 29 degrees C
Air Temp: ~24-26 degrees C

Think I made a mistake because the idle and full load temps are the same? I didn't, haha.... (Gotta love that huge watercooling setup)

i was reading that...and i was like wtf? what a moron!

and then i saw water cooling, and a light came through the ceiling and shined on my keyboard, and it came to me, that i need to buy a water cooler

hahaha...me too...but it still don't make sense...your idle temp should be lower...unless you water setup increases flow when your cpu is under load...i studied heat transfer...so that doesn't make much sense when your cpu is giving out more heat while under load and your temp stays the same...just my 2 cents

btw...you should upgrade your bios and monitoring program to the latest one...your CPU should be 40 and mobo should be 29...you got it switched around...what mobo are you running? if it's asus...go download the latest bios and asus probe...and if that doesn't work..you find the file call asus.ini or something like that in ASUS Probe folder and delete the last two lines...

Yep, I got an asus P4S333. I probably got the numbers backwards like you said. :) I'll head to Asus and get the latest file... Thanks

Okay, I guess I need to clarify a little more.

What actually happens in my watercooling system is that the water initially starts out at room temp. For about the first 20 minutes the computer is on, the water is just heating up (I have ~2 gallon reservoir with a big heatercore and 1/2" lines so there is a lot of water in the system). Eventually the water heats up to 32 degrees (how fast it heats up obviously depends upon the cpu load at the time). Once it reaches that temp, it stabilizes and doesn't really heat up any more, regardless of whether you are running prime95/3dMark, etc. My suspicion as to why this happens is that the heatercore, being a large radiator with no fan on it, only works well when the water temp is significantly higher than the room temp (obviously). Hence, at about 32 degrees C water temp the system stabilizes because the heatercore becomes efficient. In this system, any sort of heating or cooling of the water occurs extremely slowly. After turning my computer off, and leave the pumps on, the water will cool down about 2 degrees in 10-15 minutes but it takes about an hour for it to completely cool to room temp. Does anyone know how many watts of heat the P4 dissapates at idle vs. full load? Anyway, my point is that I think the reason the temp stabilizes is that as the cpu load increases, the increased heat in the system is balanced by the increased efficiency of the radiator. I have a radio shack indoor/outdoor digital thermometer with one probe in the reservoir, and one on the hot side of the cpu outlet. At full load, the water coming out of the cpu is ~1-2 degrees warmer than at idle, but the reservoir temp is more or less unchanged.

Seems like good logic to me.

mobo 30C
idle 55C
load 67C
room 28C

This is with stock cooling.

My digidoc says that my load and idle temps are about 15C cooler so believe what you will. The digidoc sensor is touching the side of the CPU by the way.

i just adjusted my fans put them at ~3000rpm
temp went down to 39 degrees idle, 44 load
system went down to 33.5 :)
