this is my temp atm Link

it was on 100% LOAD for a few hours and i came back to find that Temp!

Is speed fan reliable?

Why is there a screenshot of task manager?

umm wrong one

o well anyway,

what do you think? is speed fan telling the truth?

wut do each of the "temp sensors" correspond to.

i'm guessing that temp 3 is ur CPU and temp 1 is case temp, since it's the lowest. if that's the case, then you've found ur problem. ur case temps are too high. you need better airflow. what's ur setup now?


also, what was ambient temp?

 

[theNEOone]

and no. if your fans weren't spinning you're computer would be gone after 100% load for a few hours.

i live in the UK so if you know what the temps are like ambient temp is LOW i have 4 case fans in there 3x 80 and 1 x 120, 2 in and 2 out. it was fine untill a few days ago :S

i have the zalmon copper flower Heatsink which i think is the problem (i am waiting for the CoolMaster Aero 7 to come out in the UK )

anymore thoughts?

hmm, i really don't think it's your heatsink. if your temps are reading correctly, then 52 degrees is too hot for case temp. that's the temp of my cpu and i run an 80mm fan at about 2000 rpms (pretty slow and quiet.) i also have four case fans (2 in and 2 out), but they are all 80mm stealth fans controlled by a baybus. they're all running at a quiet 1000 rpms. my case temps are in the upper 30s, low 40s.

be specific about ur ambient, because "low" is relative. i live in miami, and low temps down there run in the 15-20 range, but i go to school in upstate new york and low up here is -15.


it's easy to tell if your fans are working, just listen to them!

anyway, ur case temps seem to be too high. maybe you're fan filters are clogged w/ dust and your intake fans aren't running efficiently. also look into case clutter, i.e. cables, drives, etc.

at the moment it is probly something like 10 - 15 (as i am in the Attic and it can get damn hot up here ) but still that is nothing, even though it is saying that hot it is still stable so i dont have a problem i just dont like the HEAT that it is running at

*BUMP*

Any more ideas?

Havent seen any Aero7's in the UK yet, dont hold your breath though.

Dont you think that they will be coming to the UK for awhile then?

TMD fans have been going around America for ages and I still dont see them here. Thermalright heatsinks are still only sold by 1 or 2 companies. Some of the newer or more 'exotic' items just cannot be found here or take their sweet time.

Id say it wont be here too soon. My whole UK vendor list is stickied on the top of this forum so take a look there and see if you can find it. An email or 2 to various vendors may prompt them to search for them and stock them.
