ok here is mine:

idle: 52
load:62 (Orthos)

weather: Sunny day

yeah. maybe my air flow in the case not good guah or my room quite hot then. or maybe the mounting of ultra120 got problem. last time got faced one big problem, idle at 55-56c. i took out the ultra then found out the center of the base dont have any TIM on it also. only 2 sides got the TIM
i think now 52c not really perfect lah buthen as long as it is stable then ok d

Now using CoolerMaster Centurion5

intake: 1x80mm fan comes with casing

exhaust: 1x120mm fan comes with casing, 1x80mm fan (PSU).

that's all

how's the air flow eh? i am not really sure eh but i believe that when i add one 120mm for intake at front would be improved the overall air flow.

btw i can get as low as 54c while loading Orthos during rainy day (yesterday evening!)

open casing just drop 1-2c only. it is not recommended case opened as the air cannot be circulated follow the path.

haha.. yeah it is negative pressure for my case. i need to concern about my environment temp too. if hot noon the temp high but for cool nite the temp goes low. negative pressure is better than positive pressure in terms of cooling (if and only if the environment is cold and not too hot so that the cold air can be suck from the front's holes) but not in dust prevention.

100% Aluminium quite expensive leh >.< sigh..

yeah hehe. ya i think my room quite hot plus the air flow of my case not really good.

1x80mm(case) intake and 1x120mm exhaust(case) + 1x80mm (PSU). using a CM 120mm Silent LED fan for ultra. any suggestions to improve the air flow? except a new case suggestion

woah it should be quite noisy to use that i prefer a quiet rig

Running 400x8=3.2Ghz @ 1.375v with Ultra-120 + CM 12cm LED silent fan

open 2 folding = 57c (case closed)
open 2 folding = 56c (case opened)

idle = 51c (case closed)
idle = 51c (case opened)

not really drops if case opened also should be my room's air flow not really good then

high db for G-Power iianm

hehe will try to drop my clocks later. but for me as long as not over 65c then it is good enuf my cables quite messy in the case also.. gotta sleeve it if got time..

haha.. i want full speed + low db

vantec thermoflow eh? will check it out later

yes it is worldwide shortage. u only can get it through some online pc shop. the price is about RM200-RM250.

u are in air cond room right? btw u having a nice vcore for ur proc.. 1.2v only >.<

60 hours only? i tot is like 200 hours

http://www.arcticsilver.com/pdf/appinstruc...l_dual_wcap.pdf

quoted out from the link:

Break-In Period
Due to the unique shape and sizes of the particles in Arctic Silver 5 conductive matrix, it will take a up to 200 hours and several thermal cycles to achieve maximum particle to particle thermal conduction and for the heatsink to CPU interface to reach maximum conductivity. (This period will be longer in a system without a fan on the heatsink or with a low speed fan on the heatsink.) On systems measuring actual internal core temperatures via the CPU's internal diode, the measured temperature will often drop 2C to 5C over this "break-in" period. This break-in will occur during the normal use of the computer as long as the computer is turned off from time to time and the interface is allowed to cool to room temperature. Once the break-in is complete, the computer can be left on if desired.

Easytune is showing correctly as the CPU temp showing is really the CPU temp. TAT is showing Core temp not CPU temp.

Core temp usually more than CPU temp about 10c

other than dual core proc, they probably measured in cpu temp and not core temp. u try to find a c2d and other single core proc, place ur finger to test the temp of the hsf (let it load 100%). i tested mine and my fren. my core temp around 60c(core temp) and his also around 60c (cpu temp). my fren's hsf is much more hotter than mine.

As for c2d, it's good we can concern about the highest temp we got. since our proc got the ability to measure for core temp then we have the chance to bring it down and not only cpu temp only. as u bring down the core temp the cpu temp will sure to be lowered down too

@ianho

sorry about my poor explanation. hehe of coz i knew cpu is not the big box thing. i just wanna make a assumption for the difference between cpu and core temp.

core temp is measured by the internal thermal diode inside the cpu. cpu temp is measured by the motherboard's sensor itself.

Sorry if i got anything mistaken again

@vassalle

Easytune5's reading is CPU temp not core temp.

TAT & coretemp's reading is Core temp that measured by internal thermal diode inside the proc.

or u can try folding@home to test for ur CPU full load temp.

26c izzit the cpu cover temp? mine also around that with stock vcore and clock speed.

i think he should use sp2004 or prime95 and not the orthos since orthos is mainly for dual core proc or orthos can be used in single core proc? correct me if i wrong hehe

@vassalle

wow u got nice temp there~!

same problem wif urs. my xfx gc's hsf is more noisy.. but only during heavy graphic processing like games,photoshop etc. normal surfing and chatting the fan will automatically spin in low speed
