Temp question

Ok. my loop has been up and running for awhile now. Temps are normally around 18-21c after playing BF2 for 5 hrs. Today i turned it on and noticed the temps were at 25c. THe windows are open and its 80 degrees right now. Is this the cause for the raise in temps? Anything to be worried about? The APogee is mated to the chip with AS5.

Yes, assuming your system doesn't turn up the fans to compensate, increasing the ambient air temperature by 5c will raise all your temps by 5c. And no, it's nothing to worry about as long as your system remains stable and the temps don't go too high.

80 degs is 48c and your temps were 25c? meaning alot below ambient...sounds like your earlier temp readings were likely in the morning or a cooler day. (32f = 0c so 32f+48f = 80f meaning 25c is only 57degs 0c + 25c = 57f ...on an 80 deg day that's unbelievable on typical wc)

Actually, 80°f is 27°c and 25°c is 77°f. Also, he said the window was open, but the indoor temp may still have been lower than 80f.

Ok. Good, nothing to worry about then. Thanks for the info.
