OC Temp?

[Astroluna]

Currently have my AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ w/ Stock cooling.
3056mhz ( 13x235)

normal @ 15-17*C
Warhammer RVR @ 30-34*C

Temps are pretty good, would you suggest higher bus/Lower Multiplier for higher OC? or keep it at 13x and just up the bus?

Stock HS/Fan's cant exceed 3000rpm either.

Also 9800GT @ 725/2000 @ 38*C norm 48*C warhammer strees.

15 degrees Celsius = 59 degrees Fahrenheit

I am doubting your "normal" temps......

Huh? Do you live in a meat locker? Try another temp monitoring program and post the image.

Ambient temp of 21*C

dont use speedfan for temps, it never reports accurate results. download coretemp and see what that tells you.

ed: wait i didnt even see the hardware monitor there. PLEASE PLEASE tell me your secret! i want to get my CPU down that cold idle with an ambient temp that is still comfortable using a stock cooler

Unless you are living in a freezer, I still doubt the temps. I'd want to see an image of a thermometer to show an accurate ambient.

I think something's wrong with your monitoring software (by the way, your links aren't working at the moment). You can't have a CPU temp that's lower than ambient (not with air cooling, at least).

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The temp is prob accurate if his CPU is running so hot that it passed the max monitorable temp of the programs and is on its 2nd trip arround

With stock cooling? Hmm..I usually get 28 C idle but even then my room is a little chilly.

lol.

i keep the pc by the window where is usually cold with a small fan under the desk.

the ram sinks, heat sink, and vga are always very cold to the touch.

But still, your CPU temp *cannot* be lower than your ambient temp if you're on air or water. What's the ambient temp of your room?

 

[Astroluna]

70*F

 

[nomagic]

The ambient temperature is 70 degree Fahrenheit, but your CPU temperature is 59 degree Fahrenheit. In addition, you are using stock air cooling solution.

There is definitely something wrong. If you still cannot acknowledge the problem, then I don't see how I can help you.

+1

As soon as I see someone say their temps are below mid 70's to low 80's, I call BS right away UNLESS they have active cooling such as Phase or a chiller.

People rely WAY too much on software to report temps at the expense of common sense.

 

[Astroluna]

bios says the same?

 

[Gillbot]

And your bios is probably wrong too. Your CPU temp CANNOT be lower than your ambient temp without active cooling, PERIOD. The laws of physics determine this.

Not to mention common sense.

What, you don't believe in free energy and money trees?

 

[Drsignguy]

Lol, "The money trees", thats been a common saying my mother always have said through out my early years.

But back OT, with most of my family being HVAC, you learn a lot of info like this topic and after a while, it just becomes common sense.
