T-Bird 1ghz Temp Suggestions :)

[Liquid_N2]

Dear all, im having a bit of a hard time getting my temp down.

I just bought a new GlobalWin 802 case, i have a GlobalWin FOP32-1 Cooler, one 80mm fan extracting behind it, i have another 80mm fan at the front sucking air in, a 300watt psu sucking air out, and exhaust slot extractor sucking air away from the agp card, im using artic silver II and all airways are clear and masses of space, but im still getting temps of 49 on load.

Its not OC'd just running standard. I was going to put a peltier on it and upgrade the cooler for an Alpha. Problem is will that be ok? Has anyone got a T-Bird with a peltier, if so what setup have you got?

If i put a peltier would i need the copper shim? Plus I would have no need for the artic silver would i?

If anyone has done used this setup before please let me know, don't really wanna sod up my new chip.

Much abliged for any help offered.

Your not alone. I am starting to wonder if these 1 ghx T-birds just run hot naturally. Minenot overclokced will run very high 40's celcius with the PAL 6035. Overclocked now at 1177 mhz with 1.8 volts, it runs 50+ celcius, with intake fans exhaust fan slot card cooler fan, PAL 6035 with Arctic Silver AND the side of the case off

I cant get my temps down any lower..................PERIOD!
If it runs low 50's..........so be it!!!!!!!!!!!

I will fry the sucker before I spend one more episode of pulling my hair out trying to get this chip cooler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the exact same problem. I just bought a PAL6035 a couple days ago, but I still get temps in upper 40s idle and 51C when pegged with SETI@home. This is on a 1ghz t-bird on an ASUS A7V with no overclocking. I do admit that it is better than that Thermaltake Chrome Orb I had (low 50s idle and high 50s pegged, even 60 once).

i have a T-bird 1000@1300 1.80 V and I'm also using a PAL 6035 With a GW fan @ 38cfm My idel temp is about 25C and my full load never goes over 39C,Now some of this depends on room temp,I live in FL.and the AC is on most of the year,My room temp is always 74-75F.I used a thin layer of Artic Silver and till I can find the right fan I'm looking for I have the side off and have a small fan blowing thru the case.Also,the fan for my 6035 is blowing thru the hs not sucking thru the hs,I'v read where you can do it either way without any difference,something to try if you want but it was designed to suck thru.Make sure it's seated correctly on the proc. and make sure your case cooling is as good as you can get it,good luck.

hey I only have a 900mhz tb and the highest I have ever seen it was 128 f but I do know that it may just be the placement of the sensors that make it seem hotter then other peoples with the same setup,I have a friend with an 850 that is 5 degrees f hotter than mine on load so that is the only conclusion that I have come up with , just posting this to let you in on my thoughts

I wouldn't be un-happy in your shoes...don't forget that AMD states 90oC as the maximum operating temperature for their CPU up to 1GHz and 95oC for 1,1 & 1,2GHz, while Intel states around 65oC! It's obvious that the thermal specs of each product are relevant to its actual heat dissipation.

So heaving a CPU giving out around 75W of heat and running under load just 25oC or something above room temp is a big deal, especially when the warning levels are way higher.

What J.S. mentions is really interesting but allow me to have my doubts when I read that his lower temperatures are as low as what I consider to be the average room temperature. Anyway readings aren’t always 100% accurate and his system could be lying in a very cold room!

Moreover, what he states about the Alpha coolers is true. If you have an Alpha PAL6035 or a modified PEP66 (to use with a socket, fan rotated 90 degrees) SO mount the fan so that it blows towards the coolers base and not sucking away. You might gain a noticeable temp drop. Of course on a non modified PEP66 there’s no difference in cooling ability whichever the blow direction is. ;)
