Sk6 + A7v266 + Coolercase Tornado = High Temps ?????

[dutch777]

Hi All . Please post
system specs :

Asus A7V-266-DDR Motherboard Rev 1.06 bios 1002b
AMD ATHLON THUNDERBIRD 1.4Ghz 266 Unlocked Not Overclocked
ASUS V8200 Geforce 3 not overclocked
Soundblaster live 5.1 Platinum
IBM GXP60 40 Gb
Toshiba 16 X DVD 48 X CD
Plexwriter 16/10/40a
Network Card
SK6 HSF Fan runs at 3700rpm
Coolercase Tornado 6 fans Loud :( too loud really
Rounded Ide Cables
300watt approved AMD power supply
Windows Millenium
Temps Idle MB 24 / CPU 51
Temps Load MB 26 / CPU 57 after hour playing quake
Temps Room 22

Every degree the room temp goes up so does the CPU Is that right ??
The Motherboard dosent really get any hotter so i imagine the case fans In the coolercase are doing there job check out the link to have an idea of the case :
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Coolercase_Range_45.html
My CPU is running at default recommend voltage of 1.75
As to my Cpu temps 57 under load seems hot to me even though these boards are reported to give higher readings on their probes of around 7-8 deegres , but then 50 under load still seems a bit to hot , So what u people think ?
Should i get a more powerfull sk6 fan would it make a lot of difference , cant stand much more noise though .
Is the cpu that effected by room temps if i let my room now at 22 climb to 30 my cpu would be at a whooping 65+ is that right especially when my motherboard hardly increases .
My SK6 Has been lapped and installed twice now , by an overclocking company to double check that it is seated correctly.
So at the end of the day what do you people think bearing in mind the Cpu Temps might be 7-8 degrees out
Should i get a more powerfull cpu fan ? if so which one ?
Is my system acting properly to room temps ?
Is there any quiter fans i could install for this case ? if so which ones ?
My CPU takes approx 3-4 minutes to cool from Under load to idle ?
My SK6 Heatsink is only warm to touch ?
By the way ASUS probe , MBM5 , and bios all report same temps

Thanx ;)

Get rid of the SK6: once again this post proves my point - just look around at all the post of SK6 and the temp still being hot, or HOTTER, i have no idea why people keep getting them when they are louder than most HS out on the market and dont cool for crap. once in awhile someone gets a good SK6 but just look in cooling section and view all the post about SK6 and how then DONT work! Get a Glaciator or an Alpha and wath temps drop!

1.33@1.63 41c idle 44c load-and 6 db quieter then sk6

Thanx for the fast reply .
Think that confirmed what i had been thinking . So what about this Cooler ??? Alpha PAL8045 have checked their site for compatibility for my ASUS A7V266 and it will fit , but it wont go on the ASUSA7A OR ASUSA7M though not that it bothers me :)

Jason,

I think his heatsink is fine. He needs a better fan for the heatink.
He has a low end fan and needs to replace it with a Delta 40cfm 60x60x25 fan. The SK-6 is an excellent heatsink. A lot of people seem to be mounting them backwards and also using slower, low end fans with them. Mine is fine! And a lot of people are fine with there SK-6.
