Hi all
I just have a couple of comments so i thought id post - Ive been lurking in the background reading and thought it was time to dive in and ask a few questions of my own
Anyways on with the main post.
I had a Vantec Aeroflow, a pretty good Cooler yeah? Well it was letting my CPU temp reach 62*c load. I took it off and re-applied the Arctic Silver many times - It didn’t help. I even bought Arctic Ceramique and that didn’t bring things down much either.
I have 5 case fans. A large case (Antec Plusview 1000AMG) and I have tidied and tidied the cables until I can’t tidy them anymore.
I recently bought an SLK-800 with a Tt Smartfan II (at great expense i might add) and that’s running at full speed. My temp is currently at 56*c (Im running HOT CPU TESTER in the background for about 2hrs) according to mainboard monitor which is rather higher than what HMONITOR and other programs have reported but… hmm. Anyhow. What am I to do? Ive changed CASE’s twice to lower temps and yeah I am running 2.49ghz @ 1.9v but with 5 case fans, an SLK-800 and a FULL SPEED SmartFAN II sat on it, should I really be getting 56-57*c load???
I don’t want to slow my PC down, but I don’t want to have a CPU that last’s 2 months either. Suggestions? Apart from buying a firearm and putting it out of its misery? Im currenty trying to get 2.5ghz, i know 2.49 is close but i want to be on the nose . Not having much luck though so far though dispite my best efforts
One last thing, to people who have had a CPU die on them had it take anything else with it as well? Just wondering if the worse came to the worse and my CPU did give it up that it wouldnt take anything else expensive with it like the mainboard lol.
