depending on type of cpu and clock speed/model of cpu, anything under 45 degrees or so is good for the cpu
approx 25-30 for motherboard, depending on atmospheric conditions
about the same for case temps

i'm getting 26 C for case temp, 34 for mainboard, 37 for cpu 1 and 28 for hd
is that normal? is it 2 cold?

seems very cool 2 me! is ur room cold? nothing 2 worry bout though!

there isn't really such a thing as 'too cold' for a cpu...liquid cooling kits usually get temps for cpu down to less than 0 celsius

only refrigerated ones go below room temp, as long as you haven't got one of them you can't cool the chip too much. 28 for your hard drive is almost certainly wrong, if you put your hand near your hard drive you wil probably feel the heat radiating off it

Not any liquid cooling kits that I've heard of.
A radiator based system is hard pressed to exchange heat even approaching ambient (room) temp. Most systems place the radiator inside the case, which makes the problem even worse.
You need an active system (refrigeration, Peltier, or the like) to even approach 0 celsius.
[I]Edit: ilw, my HD consistently runs at between 18-21 C. It has a twin fan cooler mounted to it and a separate 80mm case fan to blow outside air into the enclosure.

liquid nitrogen... :rolleyes:
also, it must be pretty cold in your room to get temps down to 18 degrees for hdd...

lol well yeah maybe then it'll drop quite a bit in temp :rolleyes: , though 21C is roomtemp ( unless you are perchance an innuit?) so i'd say thats probably a bit of an underestimate but i doubt Abu's is sitting pretty at 28C

Harddrive temp is second from the left...
I'd like to get my chip temp down, I'm currently using the stock AMD heatsink/fan on my Athalon 2600+. Maybe Somebody's 80mm fan conversion shroud...

you could look at the AMD or Intel for the white papers of your processor - it should say what the recommended and max temps of the proc

Here is a link to a screen shot of my temps,note the hard drive temp sitting pretty at 28 in my 25 degree apartment.

yea. i have 28 degrees 2. wat is the cpu 2? i'm getting 64 degs for cpu 2. wat is that?

What do you get for cpu1? I believe something is messed up in your settings.Right click on the icon for the program and choose settings.Check to see if there is a setting you can change. As somebody1234 said already,reboot and check in your BIOS to see what your system is reporting as your temp.Then compare it to what the program is saying.If that sensor isn't actually reading correctly then you can just disable it.
