in my ongoing efforts to cool my CPU i have been forced to live with my windows open my case temp stays at a comfy -3c and my CPU is at 2.5c at 1.27ghz @2.0v

God it's cold in Sweden

Be sure to put some warm clothes

Best Regards ...

hehe its really cold here ND

last time i checked it was -15c outside

[samwichse]

Hmmm... should I be disappointed or happy that it's 62 and sunny (short sleeve weather) here...

Mabye not.

Gosh, that is cool....maybe sit that computer outside and overclock it a bit.... It is warm and sunny here in Texas......Air Conditioning is running to cool off the house...

I have a question while we are talking about cpu temp....is there a program or do I need special hardware to monitor the temp of a cpu.... I have not attempted to oc anything since way back in the 486 days and that was a 486dx 50 that I oced to 100 and burnt it to a crisp.....after three hours of it running a burn in program....

Hehe i dont think the comp would work so well in SNOW so i wont try that.


U can download motherboard monitor it will give u temp readings and Voltage info im not sure where to download it since i havent used it for a while.Sisoft sandra will also tell you the tempratures and voltage info under the motherboard section

As a rule of thumb anything past a pentium mobo will have a temperature sensor... most pii motherboards do, ditto for celerys, anything later almost definitely.

apart from custom vendor machines (compaq, hp, dell) that is

Often the bios will display the current temp/s somewhere in the settings screen

Thanks for the info on the temp sensor....I have been thinking of doing some OCing again. Yes, the mobos I have monitor the temp, but you have to be in the bios to read it....which is kind of silly if you ask me.. I have also seen some add on led plates that go on a computer that will monitor inside temp and cpu temp.

man, whith that ambient temp, i'd have the quietest computer in town. no intake/exhaust fans and fanless heatsink.

i'd certainly save about $120 on my overclocking ventures.

Well i finaly closed the windows,it was starting to get really really cold in here.

r0l0e>> i tried running it without any fans and it worked great
i even turned the CPU fan off but then i could hear the harddrives so iguess it´s impossible to get it silent

But maybe i should get a peltier ?
i managed to to load windows @1,37ghz
i´ve never been above 1.27 before.
