How hot is yours?
Following on from the Reccomendation for a Cooler PC thread, How hot is your CPU?
At the moment, on my new PC (XP2200+ ... 1.8ghz).. The core is running at 31deg Idle. Under load 42 Maximum so far.. Im using artic silver compound with an Aero 7 Lite Fan.
Like homealone said, the thermals pads supplied with the heatsink are crap, I washed mine off straight away.
My XP1600+ .. (1.4ghz) runs at 43 idle, and about 50 under load.

Re: How hot is yours?
I'm at 62°C vs a 27°C case temperature - browsing forum, so pretty idle   - although 'motherboard monitor' reports 100% cpu??
I run an Athlon 2000xp using Antec Silver compound & a Coolermaster DP5-6J31C fan.
The fan is the main problem, designed to be quiet, it runs at only 2600rpm, but isn't really large enough to move enough air at that speed.  - supplied with the cpu as a bundle.

Re: How hot is yours?
my 2600xp is running at 39 idle and 44 under load. I use arctic silver 3.
Oddly enough - my rotuer/fileserver pc (1.1ghz duron) with it's standard amd fan has 39 and 44 cpu temps too.

Re: How hot is yours?
My 2400xp @2180mhz is at 47-50degs on idle and 60degs when hammered.(and I've got a geforce 5950ultra pumping heat into the case as well)
MOBO seems to stay at 30 degs.

Re: How hot is yours?
XP2200+ running at 1984MHz - 47C idle, 51C load
Termaltake Volcano 11 @ 3068rpm
Gigabyte GA-7VAX (mobo) at 36C all the time.
I just built another PC:
XP2600+ (running at stock) 55C idle, 60C load
Thermaltake Volcano 9 @ 5000rpm
mobo @ atbou 40C i think.
Im getting a new fan for this one.
I have always used thermaltake fans but i feel they are a little loud (buzzy) although quite good at cooling.

Re: How hot is yours?
I would love to comment, but the last time I installed software of that kind (I think it was motherboard monitor but I'm not sure), it completely wrecked my win2k. (BSOD on startup, and several repair sessions to get it running again).
People running win2k may be aware that that it doesn't wreck easily, but when it does, it does so in style (ie is a b***h to recover from).
So, I'm a little hesitant to install this type of software. If anyone would like to suggest software (free), they've successfully used on win2k, I'd be most obliged.

Re: How hot is yours?
I have been running MBM5 on my W2K & XP boxes for the last year.
Mind you - I don't know what the readouts are for since they are just called Sensor 1 & Sensor 2 !

The hot one is cpu and the not so hot one is case. I think you can re-name them as such.
'fan1' is reading 337500rpm on my mbm

Re: How hot is yours?
My win2k system has been running for quite a while (3 years), and has become more temperamental over the years, so it may just be down to my particular system, and the registry setting it has acquired over time.
Read that as: I dont have a clue, but I would like to keep it running, but am hesitant to install any software that caused problems in the past.
BTW: popup stopper screwed up my system as well when I tried it.

the larger readout is your processor, the lower is 'ambient', for the case.
<edit> Ramrod beat me to it again
