Wei..this is a sacrilege leh.

Overclocker's definition of load is Prime95 load temp...or multiple Primes for multi cores and HT cpu's.

Idle is everything else.

Somemore all those 20+ degrees temps...hate to throw cold water but despite what the software says, it's unrealistic because a heat producing object cannot be colder than the air around it.

That's unless you tell me u have a 2hp aircon running full blast and ur room is at 16C ambient temp.

Serious??
How come??

I'm no Einstein here so I'll leave the physics part out.... but I do shop for a lot of heatsinks in the past.

If you check out heatsink/cooling module manufacturer websites (and i dun mean ppl like TT or CM)....Then u'll often come across the term Thermal Resistance which is measured by C/W.... and there isn't such thing as negative c/w figures.

1) Let's assume we're using a A64 here idling at 30W with CnQ off.

2) Assume I fit a thermalright Ultra-120 at it!!!! Woot!!!...which has a thermal resistance of 0.11 c/w with a ~1K rpm fan.

3) Then assuming my room temperature is 30C

So:

30Watt x 0.11 = 3.3 + 30C ambient temperature = I can expect an idle temperature of 33C if I don't screw up any thing.

Thnx sHawty ..

What sniper said is true.
In the very end, your heatsink is still sucking air from the surroundings. The least it'll be is reaching same temperatures as its surroundings. Which is rather, unrealistic.
(Am I right here sinper?)

As for watercooling... Wait, it's waay out from the topic.

gosh..thn i guess any idling temp below 40º is consider good lor..
well...seems shawty pc's load temp got problem...guess he dint stress it..

Nope, the load temp is after 8 hours of Stress Prime priming...

wow..nice cooler u got...only 4º difference...so cool...cz mostly i c ppl's difference is around +- 10º range

Heheh...
Thanks...

Going to prime my processor tonight as i just got my Scythe Ninja today...
Just fixed it on my pc and got a 38Celcius in idle...

wow...a ninja...so nice the temp....
goin fanless?

Nope, with fan, but in low speed...
Trying to keep my cpu go silence...

But...
The harddisk fan, it's damn loud...
As i'm using a delta 80Mm fan...

I had to use this fan as the air intake holes are to small...
Thinking of sending my case to ianho to mod for changing to a 120MM fan hole...

But i'm kinda short in money...

Screenshots anyone?

Prime and fan monitoring?

using TR SI-120 with 120mm TT Blue Led fan.. currently at stock (2.4ghz) .. stock n oc`ed @3.06ghz temp r the same .. i dont know y is that ..

the fan running at full blast .. even @1300rpm .. the diff is only 1-2c ..

Bla Bla Bla...

The List Stop mehh>?

Everyone's waiting to put in their Conroe temps mah...

Pls help !!!

I have AMD Sempron 2500+ socket 462 running in MSI KM4M-V Mobo, Seagate SATA 80GB, I GB Kinston DDR 400 RAM.

When I used the HSF supplied with the Processor, I get 61 degree C. The fan is spinning at 4500rpm.
Ehen I changed to Cooler Master Jet 7+, it still give a reading of 57 degree C.

If I am to compair eith the other forumer, I have a very hot machine.

All readings are by Sensor View Software. The System is stable at 36 degree C and the HDD is at 39 degree C. using both the AMD HSF and Coolier Master Jet 7+ All side panels are removed with my ceiling fan running.

Any suggestions ??? or ir the Sensors View Software is no good ???

is ur hsf n ur proc rapat? try check it ..

Sure, All are fixed nice and strong.

Did you clean off the old thermal paste and apply new one? Both HSF and cpu die surface must be cleaned and then apply thermal paste to conduct the heat proper...

themal paste applied? try with closed casing cause normally open case is not good in terms of air circulation.
