P3 933 temps

[lobadobadingdong]

It's otherwise stable, I have an old case with no options for case fans (though it does have lots of holes for ambient cooling on the front rear, and left side), I have a speeze falcon rock on it, and a fortron 350W 120mm psu. Case temps are 36C, HDD temp is 30C

I was wondering if anyone can report thier P3 temps to get an idea if I should upgrade my case for little more cooling or not. (I'm a perfectionist)

Another strange thing is that speedfan doesn't recognize the fan speeds on my particular motherboard.

p3 733, max temp is like 42 celciuson hot day under load for like 4 hours playing games, average its 39 celcius, case temp is 21, dunnoh about hdd butit would be around 25-27 i would guess by touch....

the processor has a ghey fan, the video card has a fan but no other movement of air thorugh the case, i keep it closed and stuff too, oh yeah the psu has one fan too...

I'd ask your BIOS what it thinks the temps are, those sound pretty off.

P3 733, running in a super-tiny case with minimal airflow, 45C load.

- M4H

my bios doesn't have a health monitor section, and I'm leaning on speedfan not being accurate too, I just felt the air coming from the back of my psu, and it's only 1 maybe 2 degrees warmer than ambiant. my 2500+ box is over clocked to 2.1Ghz and runs 50C 24/7 and the heat from the psu and rear fans are pretty warm in comparison. I guess as long as it's stable I'll leave it alone.
