there is no "recommended" per se

really depends on ur room environment, if ur room is warm and has little ventilation then ur temps are gonna be high

if you put it next to an open windows it gonna be low

also depends on ur computer design, if ur computer has good air flow and at least 1 system fan at the back helping the psu to expel excess heat ur doing ok

full towers have much more room for air flow inside the case. and that means lower temps. i have a mid tower, and even though all my cables are rounded, the air flow is still small compared to the full towers. plus i don't avhe any fans in the front. i need to put some there

5 fans isnt bad&#33;
i could have water cooling, or better yet that liquid nitrogen&#33;

[kaiweiler]

&#33; I just OC&#39;ed my CPU up a tiny bit more, up to 2200Mhz, and my temps got LOWER&#33; how is that?&#33;
here is proof in case someone like adam is reading this

and thats at full load, browsing, winamp, and chatting a little

Maybe they dont.

Oh wait, correction there,

I KNOW THEY DONT.


5 Case fans I guess is just keeping the temp cooler, but you temps will rise the more you overclock.

Oh and btw, your &#39;full load&#39; isnt full load.

Loop 3d Mark, or Aquamark for 8 hours, and thats full load.

And as for temp range, I myself would start to worry if your load temps get above 60C. Its not going to damage it only going that high, but it would compel me to get better cooling. Actually it did, and thats why I have my VOlcano 11+, until August when I start my evaporative watercooling setup.

sorry my mistake
and all those temps for recommendations seem to be fairly high so i dont think i have to worry to much
untill i get my 9600XT, then it may be a bit warmer, but i guess that comes with a fan or heatsink or whatever you call it as well
so i&#39;m good and cool&#33;

Yeah, your 9600XT will have a fan on it, and your 5 case fans will carry out the hot air it puts out rather easily.

Although I would suggest buying a 9800 regular, and softmodding/overclocking to a 9800Pro
