finaly u posted liao

will update it later

for 45nm procs only coretemp 0.99.3 and realtemp 2.75beta will give u accurate reading..

EDIT: for now only

Will try if i got free time. Only have a hp camera.

Re: it would be like too much air blowing in and less going out
i thought what goes in will automatically goes out?

i got noctua u12f running wif dfi dk p45

oc till 3.2 only and the temp only 37 degree

hehe

ccf will tell later

hey guys, I think i finally figured out why my cpu temp is so high. I think it's due to several factors.

1. very hot graphic card HD4870 810/950
2. 3 HDDs in the hard drive bay which pretty much blocked the front fan intake
3. small case (cooler master mystique)

So i decided to install a 120mm intake side panel fan. to see if it's helping. so far it 'looked' as if the temp actually dropped a little. but I will need to let it 'burn-in' for a while before i can get a more substantial results.

and on top of that, I've also reapplied the thermal compound. but this time i tried getting it thin and smooth, before putting my ultima90 hsf on.

will update the result soon

erm....

i think maybe u are right about ventilation...

but 4870 will straight exhaust the hot air to the rear of the case one right?

from what i have read in the conclusion of the experiment... the guy say the most effective case cooling is by putting one single fan to exhaust rear only

http://icrontic.com/articles/pc_airflow_heat_cooling_guide

i know the HD4870 exhaust the air out from the case. but yet, the card is sooo hot, that it actually warms up my side panel, as well the whole rare surface of my casing. that's why the ambient temp of the casing is always quite high.

now i have 2 fans as intake and one rear exahsut

the stock cooler itself is not enough to keep the temps down.
you need a better heatsink for it.

putting fans will help with the airflow but the heat prob will still be there

I got 3 intake (1 front, 1 side, 1 bottom) 3 Output (2 Top, 1 Rear)
My HD4870 have no probs. Idle@ Stocks Speed is 52c in Non-AirCon Room (I know its kinda High). Everything inside is running well. Sidepanel wont get warm, etc etc.

P.S. If wanna use just one fan at the Rear of the casing. I think i should use fans like Vizo Windstorm O.o?

imo ventilation is depending on your casing... if u feel that there is some places that is lack of ventilation, meaning no air is going through that area, try installing a fan to blow towards that area...

but keep in mind that u need to get those hot air out.. so to me, its kinda test and error situation... try changing position of the fans around your casing and see hows the result shows...

one more thing is, i think the fan which is install to blow your HDD is not going to improve any ventilation in your casing... if u want a front fan to improve your ventilation, put the fan "inside" your casing... its something like that:

anyway there is alot of ways to cool down your pc components, im just givings some suggestions

latest update

metsatsu/ Thermalright Ultima-90/ Tuniq Tx2 / Intel C2Q Q9450 @ 3.40ghz(28% overclock)/ 1.19v/ silverstone FN91 90mm fan/ 54c/ 68c/ non-aircond/ prime95

so i guess the side panel fan which is blowing directly on the cpu and the re-application of the thermal paste did help!

P/S: i've also slightly increased my voltage

yah, i knew that too. my gpu temp is pretty ok. coz it was flashed to ASUS 4870 top bios, so it has a better fan profile, able to keep the gpu temp down to 60c at all time. but the problem is the heat conducted through the metal part to the casing. but that one doesn't really worry me much as long as i can find ways to keep the interior air temp low.

I suppose thats your cpu temp right?



looks interesting, but my case really lacks of space. especially how my 4870 is sticking right at the HDD cage. just enough space for the 2 pcie power connectors to be bent awkwardly and connected by the way thanks for the suggestion

Attached thumbnail(s)

Its My HD4870's Temp. Will Post up my CPU temp next week...

ok ok. by the way what's your clock speed for 4870?

by the way, do u guys think that 4 sticks of oc'ed ram can contribute to higher temperature? as in compared to a only pair of default voltage ram?

i dunno how it's like for u guys, coz if i put my hand about 4 inch away from the ram area. i can feel the heat radiating from it. So u can imagine the warm air which was sucked straight into the HSF, contributes to the higher temp of my cpu.

GPU Clock : 790mhz Mem Clock : 900mhz (CCC)

I prefer active cooling for my rams. Just bought a Ram Cooler. If not mistaken, Those HeatSpreaders on the Performance Rams are just to spread the heat of the chipset throught the heatspreader thus heat is not concentrated within the chipset itself. If u have a Combo or HeatSpreader+ Ram Cooler. In my opinion, its much better.

CHiNO730 / Zalman CNPS9500 / Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 3.100GHz (46% OC) / 1.300V/ 92mm Zalman Fan / 49c/ 66c/ Non-Airconditioned/ Orthos

Other Stats:

Was running a GPU benchmark too at the same time to try and heat up the case and record a max temp.

Room Temp: 33C
Case Temp: 42C
GPU Temp: 69C

u know what. I think i should record my room temp just like chino. at least it gives me an idea of the relativity of the cpu temp and room temp. coz at early in the morning, my cpu load temp can go down by 5c. but dunno what my room temp is. maybe i should buy a thermometer

unless u are somebody who can handle noise... i suggest u use lower cfm fans that is less noisy and put more exhaust than intake... this way u create a negative pressure environment...u can read here on why

updated ur latest update


hey bro... i need ur screenshot to post up the results yo

hey bro... why not try run half naked rig n see how it goes?

Hmmm. If So, Which one should i use as exhaust? CM690 Side Panel cant be outtake right O.o" Btm definately cant be exhaust, Side Panel cant be also><" Where else O.O"

yah btm need to intake what i hear frm who aa forgot that hot air will go upper

any1 know t-rad2 have arrive o not?

@ultraman
i've been posted in hardware section.
it should be arrived on october or november
