Crazy Low Temps

[bigdawgfoxx]

Hey I was just going to show yall my crazy low temps..to see what yall thought. If there right im VERY pleased.

http://www.sighost.us/members/bigdawgfoxx/asus_probe.jpg

Here is a pic. That is while listening to music on WMP9, on kazaalite, and chatting on AIM.

Most say that that is not the most accurate thing and to look at the bios, however I dont think thats very accurate because that has your CPU at like 0 load. When I look in the bios it says like 27-31. Is there anything else yall think would be more accurate?

[_John_Lennon_]

Motherboard Monitor.

Last time im going to say it (probably not) the program is what ALOT of people use.

I'll take a screen shot right now and upload it in a sec f what mine looks like, so keep your eyes posted for a few.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Alright. Motherboard monitor 5?

[_John_Lennon_]

Yes, motherboard monitor 5.

Configure it for a few mins and it will look nice and cozy on your desktop.

Here is mine.

Oh and btw, bigdawgg, thats with my CPU OCed almost 400Mhz

Hah!

[bigdawgfoxx]

Mine doesnt look quite as fancy..but still very low temps lol.

Well I just like to have it nice and big, so i dont have to search the taskbar to see temps. That and it does just fine down there, and its big enough so I can keep an eye on everything.

[jbond03]

what kind of cpu cooling do you guys do?


my shit is very hot, and i keep my case open all the time.

[bigdawgfoxx]

I have the stock AMD cooler and 4 case fans. One fan is angled toward my RAM and CPU. I think that might help a little.

[clocker]

Dawg,
Have you tried Folding@Home for a few hours yet?
The team would appreciate the help and it's the best way I can think of to get a good temp reading.
You need to run at 100% CPU for a while ( the longer the better, but at the very least 1 hour) to really know what's going on.
As your case temps stabilize and all the components get heatsoaked that's when you discover how good your cooling solution truly is.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Alright, I ran burn in test all night and never went over 40C.

My ping in bf1942 is too high and i get kicked with dsl..i have the WORST dsl for playing games ever i swear it sucks...just wanted to let u know haha

[Spicker]

man u shudnt be complaining low temps are better than having HIGH temps....

my temps...:

http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album/misc/TEMPSformeeee.JPG

the mobo temp never goes higher than 40 at full load...

and i think they are a bit high... <_<

[clocker]

J,
those figures look odd to me.
Mobo hotter than the chip?

[_John_Lennon_]

Yeah, what do you cool your CPU with?

The motherboard, apparently. :P

[DWk]

oh that figures.... thats why my mobo is always hotter than the cpu..... :D

:eek:

[Spicker]

lol i hav stock cooling for CPU....

right now.... CPU: 32 and MOBO: 36

i noe they seem odd but can 40 be hurtful for the mobo? they dunt go higher than 40 :unsure:

[bigdawgfoxx]

Thats VERY strange..My mobo runs at 18 and my cpu at 31. Full load mobo 18 and cpu 37

i noe its the darnest thing... shud i call the ppl at the store up and ask for a exchange? or shud i try cooling it?

btw my mobo is a ASUS P4P8x

[bigdawgfoxx]

what kind of cooling do you have other then the hs/f?

[Spicker]

1 CASE FAN blowing INSIDE on the SIDE.... i tried putting it in the back EXHAUSTING the air out but didnt see any really big diff...

EDIT: and i hav a dual FAN PSU 400W

[abu_has_the_power]

i always thought amd&#39;s are hotter than intels. weird. dawg&#39;s temps are lower than mine even b4 they were oced.

[_John_Lennon_]

Big dawg does have pretty low temps there, for stock cooling. <_<

Keep in mind that those are probably idle temps.

[bigdawgfoxx]

My CPU runs at 37 full load and mobo is at 19

When im downloading on kazaa and on the forum and chatting on aim and listening to music, which I dont think is idle, its 31.

What do you call full load?

Run Prime 95 for 8 hours, or loop 3dmark for several hours, and that will give you full load.

[bigdawgfoxx]

I run the folding protein thing for a couple of hours. It stays at a steady 37.
Clocker told me too :rolleyes: haha

You should have it running 24/7

^_^

[bigdawgfoxx]

I do I do, Im just saying that after running it for 2 hours thats what it was at&#33; lol

Does it harm your cpu to run it at 37ALL the time, rather then 31?

[bigdawgfoxx]

Im thinking some OCing of the CPU might be in store soon. B) :rolleyes:

[james_bond_rulez]

liquid nitrogen cooled cpu anyone?

Are you kidding?

Most people would think they&#39;d died and gone to heaven if their PCs idled under 40C.
As fun as it is, keep in mind that we are dealing with pretty extreme solutions here.
Most new computers only come with one or two fans and chug along, day in and day out at temps of 50C +.
Then the owner discovers a forum like this one or OC.com, sees some of the rigs in there, and the next thing you know they&#39;re thinking that they have a real problem.
Although I do believe that lower temps have to ultimately be a good thing, my search for waaaay lower temps is definately more of a hobby/challenge than a necessity.
Every time I get frustrated, I just think of my old eMachine ( currently my Mom&#39;s) which seems to be perfectly happy at 50-55 degrees, hasn&#39;t missed a beat yet and will probably outlast me.
I just realized that I expend more energy ( not to mention money&#33;) taking care of my computer than I do taking care of myself.
Welcome to the New Millenium, Clocker...

[DWk]

yea not to mention the greenhouse effect (heh....been a year since school....dont know if i got that right haha).... polar ice caps melting.... its getting warmer ;)

[bigdawgfoxx]

Lol. I got it running at 2.04Ghz right now (185X11) and its at 31 as we speak lol

I love my cooling..i just got 4 case fans..but I got one of them angled right at the cpu...so it blows on it and then the exhaust fans suck it out. Sometime soon I am going to buy a 60mm to 80mm adapter and put a better fan on the cpu also.

[Spicker]

<_< i cant overlock my cpy very much sinse the P4 aint NORTHWOOD <_<

i hate my cpu <_<

[clocker]

Dawg, why does your sig say you have 7 fans while you keep saying that you have 4?

[Virtualbody1234]

It also says:
Everything is Stock CPU 31C Mobo 18C <_<

[bigdawgfoxx]

Oh my bad...I got 6Blue led fans. 2 in the psu..lol i duno if that counts but still. And the hsf but..i guess that dont really count

[Spicker]

hey guyz check this out...

i got this program called CPU-Z and it made this...

http://a.domaindlx.com/jaigandhi5/stuff/cpuz.htm

full system spec :D

u might want this dawg lol

At those temps everything was stock..i just uped the fsb 5 mins ago.

[TheFilePirater]

http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album/misc/probe.JPG

ok, this is my thingy...the circle tube is the mobo probe for the CPU and the other red one is from my temp probe...they both read atleast 15C difference all the time...which do u think is more accurate

[bigdawgfoxx]

Prob the one right on the cpu. But I dont have a probe on the cpu, nor do I know how the hell to do that, or wire it to somewhere where I could read the temp...oh well.

[clocker]

I am guessing that the "circle tube" thingie reads the highest.
Oui?

Take your highest temp as true.
Better safe than sorry.

Are those fans running?

Then they count.

2 in his PS, and one for his CPU.

I thought that through awhile ago.

I figured as much also.
Well, if they don&#39;t count then I think they should be removed.

We&#39;ll see how much they "count" then, won&#39;t we?

Yeah, cmon clocker :) haha

Its running around 35 now. And since you say even 50 is fine..I feel fine

[clocker]

Well, that good, dawg.
After all your hard work you deserve to feel good about it.

I hope it&#39;s what you wanted.

It sure is man, thanks&#33;

Not true, you can always be an asshole&#33;&#33;

49C right now, im folding again, heh. 80 percent done on my first WU for k-lite team.

[bigdawgfoxx]

After having protein folding on all night, my temps are at 38C.

My CPU is at 185X11, or 2.04Ghz

[clocker]

After Folding continuously for days ( short break to rework the H2O setup the other night) my temps are maxxed out at 31c. Running at 2.3 GHZ (200x11.5).

You have a ways to go, dawg.... :P

[bigdawgfoxx]

Well I dont have wc so..lol well i really duno. But u are lucky to have wc. I know you dont think its the best and there are better out there, but you got it for free and 31 is great...so I would just keep that. For christmas i just got &#036;650 worth of computer parts as you all know haha

I&#39;m tending to agree with you, dawg.
I&#39;ve been cruising some other forums looking at watercooled rigs and, considering the money spent and the added complexity, the big-time, high dollar setups are only posting temps 10-15% better than mine.
To get much lower you have to move up to phase-change (Peltier) or active refrigeration ( Promethius), which cost waaaay more.

[bigdawgfoxx]

UGH&#33; Ive finished a wu now and i STILL am not on the team, says the site.

[bigdawgfoxx]

I&#39;ve completed one that took 2 days, and am working on another one, when I look on my config it says im on team 34905. But when I look on the site im not there :(

[bigdawgfoxx]

finally on the team&#33; haha.

Ok guys...I think im gona go for 200X11.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Ok, I&#39;m running at 2.2Ghz right now with a temp of 33 idle. :D

[bigdawgfoxx]

I ran Aquamark 3 again with my overclock of 400Mhz and i got a 37890. My old score is in my sig. Does that seem about right to yall? I would give yall a link, but when I press submit results online it says "cannot use arc" or something like that...

[bigdawgfoxx]

Alright, I ran all the test with my overclock to a 3200, and it didnt make a ton of difference lol....oh well..still nice scores.

The way to get the link to work, you have to select your result, and press "make public." Then select "view." After you have done these, you will be lead to the results. Copy the URL to the clipboard and save it to notepad. After you do this step, post it here.

;) :D

[bigdawgfoxx]

Right after I click submit it like wont let me..i can put them anywhere or anything...how do i select my results? I cant get them on the website or nothin

Okay, after you run the benchmark, and you are connected to the internet, you select "submit." You will be then be redirected to your Aquamark sort of homepage. Then you will see all of the results you have submitted, with various names, such as "benchmark 2003--bla--bla." The most recent, I belive will be on top. You have options such as "compare" and "view," and "make public." Just select "view," or "make public (I think)." Then you will see your whole system spec as well as a detailed breakdown of your score.

That is what we are most interested in seeing.

Just play around with the buttons, dude; you will figure it out. ;)

[bigdawgfoxx]

No, when I click submit it just says you cannot use the amc thing or something like that..shows no results at all

[adamp2p]

Originally posted by bigdawgfoxx@2 January 2004 - 03:37

When you start the program you select:

select measurement

then select the only option available to you

after the benchmark is completed select submit.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yes adam I know...it makes no since to me either..oh well just believe me..the score is true and im very happy with it. a &#036;650 machine putting out those kind of results.

The main thing thats pissing me off right now is bittornet is giving me a max of like 3ks a second download NFSU...all i have is the demo right now..the graphics are sooooo AWESOME.

How many custom parts can u upgrade those cars with? Is it a whooole lot..cuz i like that. Adam I ask you because I think your the one that recommended the game.

My favorite car so far for handling is the Acura RSX. As far as customizing the car, its okay, but I prefer the driving element to anything else.

Edit: that&#39;s great about your machine, but you really need to figure out how to use Aquamark3, its not that hard. Put your mind to it and figure it out. ;)

[bigdawgfoxx]

It dont work..I cant like delete my account, and i can only have one account per email address...and i already have an account with aquamark..just when I click submit it dont work...so is there a way i can delete an account or something?

Give it time, you gotta let yourself get up in the virtual queres for the seeders and higher up leechers in the torrent network, then you will start to get more download from more people, and a faster one as a result.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Damnnn. Now that ive overclocked the system the HS/F seem to be actually doing something lol. Before when I would feel the passive HS on the chipset and the HS on the CPU it would feel cool. Now that ive overclocked its putting off a pretty good amount of heat.
