it's gettin hot in heeere... **Updated**

[rh71]

Check it out ... is this BAD ?

Cause? Details here... but how long can I run the machine like this ? Keep in mind the Orb is rated at 5500RPM... and it looks like it's running at ~800 ?! The new fan was just ordered this morning...

**UPDATE**
So I receive my new Speeze CPU fan from Newegg today (5 short days after ordering from Newegg - they rock) ... take a minute to install (damn nice feature on the clip for a screwdriver head to assist) ... and voila:

COOL, been running all day ...

I have said it for years:

Those orb HSF don't work worth a sh!t.

 

[N8Magic]

That is BAD.

...so take off all your sidepanels

Bad...definitely bad. Keep running it? Did you order a new CPU also?

Ordered this Speeze based on the 75 user reviews.

Shut your computer off now . . .

I have had this machine running 24/7 for as long as I can remember. Only this month I have turned it off for overnight to check for electric bill differences. Funnily enough, the fan started making wacky noises just this month, but I wonder how long it's been at this temp...

CPU doesn't seem to be adversely affected... hmm...

Damn, I thought I was high at 111F yesterday. Currently I'm at 98...

 

[rh71]

Seriously... why has my machine been running ok then ? Been a very long time (in hours) like this...

Asus Probe is pretty accurate. Sometimes its only a few degrees off then the BIOS...

Not bad at all.

I use a huge Cidicom copper base unit with 8000rpm fan. Runs quiet too.

It's already on its way! I was actually considering paying them an extra $3 to rush processing too...

 

[everman]

Stick a frying pan on it.

 

[illusion88]

really though... if it doesnt stop working soon, its not a problem... if its stable under stress....

I would say that the life of that proccessor is short lived, even if it is stable.

You are aware that thermal migration in AMD processors occurs at 90 degrees Celcius, and you're at 83?

SHUT IT DOWN.

- M4H

 

[rh71]

I have since shut it down for the night. I'm on my laptop in bed. At time of shutdown, it was 174F... so it wasn't getting any hotter...

Thermal migration = burn a friggin hole in the chip?

 

[NokiaDude]

Thank god you decided to shut it down. Would have burned up while you slept. I noticed you changed your avatar. Maybe one of your shrooms got caught in the fan . . .

 

[Viperoni]

All my rigs have run hot... my Tbird 800 @ 1gig used to push 60c in the summer... so far the hotest my TBred A 1700 @ 1.8ghz @ 1.85v w/ Pal8045+Vantec Stealth has hit is ~56c.... and I leave them running all day long no problem.

 

[KokomoGST]

Thermal migration = CPU no work... ick.
I get worried if I see anything more than 44deg C on the CPU! It's like an OVEN in your case!
