I have this Cel. D. 330 (2.66Ghz Preshot) MythTV box (Linux) in an Antec SLK1600 case with the stock power supply (Smartpower something or other) and two Vantec Stealth fans...
When I was using the stock Intel HSF, it was running anywhere from 3800RPM (totally idle) to 5270RPM (full load), which as you can imagine caused quite a noise problem.
So, I picked up a Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu LED... and installed it... the knob thing was
Good news is, no more noise![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Bad news... after a little while at full load:
temp1: +65 C (high = +4 C, hyst = +0 C) sensor = thermistor
temp2: +75.0 C (high = +85 C, hyst = +80 C) sensor = diode
temp3: +63.0 C (high = +85 C, hyst = +80 C) sensor = thermistor
I have a feeling this thing must be throttling, or is 73.5-75C the maximum it will reach?
FWIW, right after POST, it was at about 59-60C... (even with the case open)
Just how bad is this?
Is this case just not up to the job, or did I screw up installing the thermal compound or something?
