Program to tell temperature of components?

[ProjectDan35]

I wish Speccy would show the CPU temp so I can get rid of the Core Temp one.

Have you tried Speed Fan ? SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

Nah. That interface looks pretty bad.

My core temp hasn't moved from 21c at all. I wonder if that program is broken, the CPU usage keeps moving though.

Do you have a bowl of Ice setting next to the intakes for the Fan to be pulling in ? LOL that is kinda cool.

The thing is, I have no fans pulling air in! Just exhausts! And whatever the PSU is taking in!

Don't know why Speccy didn't show all your temps.
Mine shows 46c but I have an Intel and that could be why.

What was I thinking. It's speed fan that I use. What does that say? I still don't believe 21 because even when idle the cpu is still creating heat.

Just wanted to throw in that I've heard some CPU's don't have a temp gauge that your system can access. Now, I imaging ALL CPU's will have some sort of temperature control mechanism that shuts it off if it gets too hot, but these mechanisms can be connected solely to the CPU and not provide any info to your system. I got the impression that this case is pretty rare (and more likely to be a problem with older systems) but that might explain why you aren't getting any temp feedback.

If your core hasnt changed, then your thermal temps broke.

My T5800 isa like that too.

 

[ProjectDan35]

Ok. We'll see what happens with the new CPU when it arrives and I install it. I hope it works.

 

[Patonb]

Hopefully. At the price you paid, even if it doesnt you learnt something

 

[ProjectDan35]

Ok guys. I have it installed with the new cooler. Pics attached.

WEI went from 4.4 to 5.4. Lowest was the CPU.

How are the temps? EDIT: When watching HD video Core 0 went up to 49 and Core 1 went up to 51. Celsuis

 

[Patonb]

Thats not too bad. youre at 46C @ 48% load.

Try a burn in with Intel burn test

IDK why it was at 48%, must have been a random spike.

Why would I want to this burn test? Sounds like it over heats things...........

 

[Patonb]

It shouldnt overheat things, but it will stress ut the cpu, and allow the TIM properly seat in.

Plus its best to see how hot it'll get, when youre around to stop it.

Just run it 5 minutes and you'll se if things are good.

 

[ProjectDan35]

I found a link. It says my CPU's max temp is 63 degrees C. It's at idle right now at ( Core 0 ) - 42c. ( Core 1 ) - 47c.

There's really no where on this case to put a fan blowing air IN, I just have a 3.75" exhaust fan on the back blowing out. No place on top, nothing on the side, I mean I could put a fan on the side where the door is removed, but that's kind of silly.

Hope it doesn't get too hot!

 

[Yard Dog]

As long as you have air slots on sides , the other fans should pull air in. Do the test and see how it works out.

 

[ProjectDan35]

Yeah, there's slots, not many. Along the bottom of each side panel there is some, and vents on the removable side door.

I imagine I could make more vents. It does run a couple degrees cooler when I keep the case door off.

 

[Yard Dog]

Oh, hey, here is a thought, put a dust blocker on the air vents to trap dust before it makes it to the MB or fans : Maximum PC | Lian Li Hates Cute Little Dust Bunnies, Equips All Cases with Washable Fan Filters Read this.. neat idea .

 

[ProjectDan35]

I clean it out to frequently to bother. Thanks anyways. When I get into some deep HD video editing I'll see what the temps go up to.
