What are your Lowest Cooling Temps?

Here are mine with Three 80mm Case fans and my cpu cooler.

what are yours?

i saw 24 degrees once ........... years ago with an overclocked athlon 4800 dual core skt 939 on a thermaltake big typhoon with a 120mm fan , that was just my idle temps mind

now im looking at 30-36 idle (depending on how high the wife has the heating) and 50 or under during load , im happy with that for now , my cpu is it its max stable OC anyway i cant do any better

even if i boot up and run HW monitor straight away i wont see as low as 24

you guys obviously havent seen my rig in the forum...

From top to bottom, HW Monitor, Core Temp and Everest.

All three were screenshot at the same time which makes you wonder why they are giving different values.

yes i have ive even commented on it

oh and i forgot to mention i have EIST and Speedstep turned off , that doesnt help my offload temps either

matinahat...........yuor cores will always read differantly

Thanks Archie I know mate
I gave that rig to my brother after I had my fun with it, but I never really took many pics of it or anything, i'll have to see if I can get some screenshots of the CPU speed running stable, give me some weeks guys, my brothers in another state.
Oh and those temps..... lol I could have pushed it more, but you melt the bottom of the motherboard going that extreme in the overclock.
So my temps on the top side were between probably negative 120-196 degrees Celcius and on the bottom, 80 degrees, if only i hade made a heatpipe to go around and under the board. (that's why I didnt, there is no place to put thermal paste-duh - destroy my rig why dont I).

There's not really much difference between Air cooling and a liquid nitrogen setup... give or take a couple of hundred degrees

Anyway, this was during winter and is the coolest I ever saw my rig:




Now it's warming up a bit (22.4C)



Ever since I put some ghetto filters on my intake fans, the ambient temp inside has risen a few extra degrees. I'm not looking forward to summer

ROFL, just a few hundred degrees... yeah sounds about right.

Differently even though those temps were taken at the exact same time in three different programs?

I'm not talking about the variance in core temps, I am talking about the variance between programs and the temps they report.

sorry yes i see what you mean ....... its complicated the way temps are measured they dont take i direct temp measurement from the sensor there is some math involved and as intel dont reveal the exact way this temp should be measured or the chips TJmax its always a best guess on the side of the program writer (ill try and find a link that describes this better than me)

i can tell you that Real Temp is widely regarded in the overclocking community as the one to use so i just go with that , the writer spends alot of time cofiguring his software using his own temp sensors and equipment

hope this makes it a little clearer than mud for you :P

as of 30 secs ago....

Hey Mitch, you might want to update your specs

You must be careful with AMD processors. It is not an exact measurement but a calculated value - see here ( Core Temp - How it works ). On an AMD 4800+ I have seen temperatures as low as 8C (in Florida).

lol..... oh yeah
