Vcool

[Yxel]

Have u ever tested The vcool program?

Its a nice little cooling program for those who have AMD and VIA via 133 based motherboards..

If ur computer is idle alot, this helps out alot. Im running my processor @ 19c idle. 55 full load. :)

Hey Earthy,
Do you live at the North Pole? 19C. is pretty damn cold. I know because my board truns at 29C. which is 84F.
Are you sayin that your processor runs @ around 60F.
OOOHHHH, chilly:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Just playin with ya,....

i've tried downloading 2 different versions of vcool.. everytime i click the icon my computer locks up, i tried it multiple times :(

There's an earlier thread regarding Vcool here (http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34805&highlight=VCool). Looks like some people had quite a bit of luck with it. There's also links to a download site which are still working.

I tend not to use software cooling because I'm running the Folding @Home client 24/7. Software cooling only helps when your CPU has idle cycles. Something to consider though if you're not running any distributed processing applications.

If you overclock your system; return your cpu to normal speed and vcore to default, then install the program. At least that worked for me! :)

Ditto. Be4 SETI I used to be running CPUIdle, which managed to help my cpu stay cool when it wasn't working, but now I find myself turning it off everyday

Hey Sharkie,
I just noticed your flamin little man next to VER.1.1 ---
Alas, matey --- me's in the same kettle !!! It urinates me off !!!

P.S. - how do you keep your board stable ? No HICCUPS?

omg

this little program just brought my cpu temps below my mobos!!

28c mobo idle
27c cpu idle

the cpu isnt overclocked at all

it brought my temps down 7c at idle!!!!!!!

thanks for the program I havent experenced any problems with it yet

I guess I have one of those mobos that dont like to idle

Just to be sure check those temps again, if you're using VCool.
I found that I had to switch The CPU to (2) & mother board to (1) in the options of VCool.
Mine started out reversed. I figured it out when I ran my Via Hardware monitor. My temps are now 31C-cpu & 28C-mobo as I write this.;)
P.S. Then again, maybe your squirt gun does a hell of a job on cooling your cpu --- Just noticed WATER COOL

After I killed my first KT7A, I bought a ECS K7S5A and ran my fsb at 150 about 3 months. I could never do this with my other board.(v.1.0) I don't know if you can burn-in your memory, but now on my second KT7A, I run the fsb at 133 and fsb+ at 7. I think my chip is from a good batch. It runs stable at 1.4 with a default vcore.

I am using mbm


pretty weird isnt it:D

I also have 3 90mm blowing at the mobo and 3 80mm sucking air out so its getting plenty of air

I live in sweden.. :)

I had about 24c in my room when I managed to get the processor to 18c.

I was using icq, irc, and listening to music then. Pretty good I think.

But if I play, the northbrige is connected again and my temps rise like hell :)

[Warlord2]

how is that posible?


I know for a fact you cant get below ambient without a good bong or supercooling........


when you say had about 24c in my room when I managed to get the processor to 18c

do you mean thats your mobos temp?

I SEE a WILD & CRAZY kind a GUY!!!
This was my question also, must be ICE CUBE COOL
