I bought a new case a few days ago, and along with it, my first temperature monitoring thing. I'm sorta worried about the temperature readings, though, because they seem almost too cool. making me wonder if I installed the probes wrong.
here's the setup:
-Cooler Master ATCS case
-1 outtake fan in the back, 2 intake fans in the front, and one intake fan on top
-Chaintech Zenith motherboard
-AMD Barton 2500
-WD 36 GB Raptor
-WD 250 GB SATA drive
there's about half an inch of space between the two harddrives, which is where the HDD probe is
now here are the temperatures:
CPU - 35 C (goes up a bit on heavy load, and I've seen it go as high as 45 C after putting all the case fans on minimum power)
HDD - 21 C
SYS - 25 C (probe is in the air path of the heatsink fan and also located pretty close to my video card)
ambient room temp is about 22 C
anyone else think that the CPU temp seems a bit low? as recomended by the Kingwin Panel, I didn't install the probe directly on top of the CPU, but I installed it on that plastic area above the CPU, still under the heatsink.
