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 celsiusOriginally posted by abu_has_the_power@28 September 2003 - 20:54

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.Originally posted by 3rd gen noob@28 September 2003 - 14:43

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.

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 , 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 28COriginally posted by clocker@28 September 2003 - 22:56

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...
