Processor temp rise after disabling virtual memory??

as title said.
Running SETI and RC5

how much did it rise,

and, it could be that the ram is running a bit warmer, increasing ambient case temp... Its pretty far-fetched, but it may be the only explanation.

it rises more than 5 celcius
i used to get 38 celcius and now it rised to 42 celcius

 

[heng1028]

does performance really increase by disabling virtual memory??

why it will increase the preformance by doing so??

 

[Mikewarrior2]

ConservativeSwapFileUSage increases performance. I'm not sure disabling it does.

I suspect another culprit is behind the cpu temp rise othre than the disabling of Virtual Memory.

[heng1028]

what do you suspect of??

after i able the virtual memory again
the temp dropped

 

[Mikewarrior2]

I dont' know what else could do it, but I doubt it is not the VM issue.

It could also be a mb issue.

[heng1028]

the mobo will cause more heat after the virtual memory has been disabled??

 

[Mikewarrior2]

no, but rather a mb temp reading issue.

email the maker of the motherboard and see if they can duplicate it and find out why it's doing that? i don't see how turning off virtual memory would make the temp rise 5C

 

[heng1028]

is the performace increased after the VM has been disabled??

from what the windows said, the performance will increase if enable the VM

which should i believe??

You should always leave VM enabled. Just set the min and max size to 256 if you've got 128megs or 256megs of ram. Or try playing around with it like 200min 240max and stuff and see which one is best for your system.

i set mine to 300 min/max and ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 in system.ini with 256 megs of ram and works great. not sure about disabling VM with how windows is with memory

 

[kylebisme]

where in the system.ini does that go?

 

[Shack70]

Turn back on your VM and set it to 2.5 times your ram for the min and max. Then run defrag. You should be ok then. What it will do is increase your speed somewhat since windows will not keep readjusting the size of the swap file
