I've got a CoolerMaster HHC-001 :(

Hi!

I've got a CoolerMaster HHC-001 on my ASUS A7A266-E w/ AMD XP 1800+ (original Volt and FSB) and I'm not satisfied 🙁((

Idle the temp is (according to ASUS Probe, cannot get MBM to work on this motherboard!) 43-44 degrees, why?
I have ASII between the CPU and the heatsink.
At full load the temp only rises around 3-4 degrees so I think that is quite nice. But why is the idle temp so high?
The motherboard temp is around 28 degrees.
The fan I've got is a Delta 60mm 7000rpm.

Can it be "bad contact" between the CPU and the heatsink?

The rest of the spec is in "my rig".

The BIOS temp is about 42 degrees
Not sure what you mean with system temp, but motherboard temp is about 28 degrees.

There is nothing wrong with those temps. Don't try to compare your temps with other mobos - they all read temperature different.
 
I don't think you are looking at idle temps then. You should check your active processes.

Typically bios temps are not idle temps, but around 60-70% of full load. Bios temps shouldn't be lower than idle temps. (Example from my 1ghz @ 1.4ghz Athlon. Bios 33C, idle 24C, Full load 37C (Watercooling, but heatsinks yield similar ratios).

As far as full load temps, yours seem fine.
 
Sorry, but I think I said wrong numbers to you...

Idle = 44 degrees
Full load = 53 degrees

I think that is quite too much isn't it?

Not really. Unless you have a jet engine fan on there, those temps seem fine to me. If you have a relatively quiet one, those are the types of temps that yah get.

I also believe Asus reads temps somewhat higher than they actually are on some of their mobos...from what I've read anyway.

Unless your system is crashing, you're golden.
 
Umm, thats one jet engine of a fan he's got on there....

Though I think that sounds right. I think the MBM website will tell you by how many degrees each motherboard type is off by.
