very nay or very yay

[The Overclocker]

i just checked and my load temp is the same as my idle temp. good or bad?

[Betty]

How are you measuring your temps?
And what program are you using for load?

[Ebonyks]

how much above your ambient temp is that? it sounds like a good thing to me

[Tiger]

Sounds about right for direct on-die cooling. I am getting 1C with Cu waterblock - probably due to the reduced efficiency of the heat transfer thru the block and the thermal grease. This is an ideal demonstration that the closer the cooling agent is to the heat source the more effective it is.

[The Overclocker]

i am using the built in thingie to measure temps, i will probebly put water checker thingies beforce and after the waterblock to measure the differce in water temparture

[The Overclocker]

it is about 4 degrees celcus above ambient

What mobo do you have? On my EPoX 8KHA+, the built-in temperature diode doesn't even touch the chip, so it's nearly worthless. If you have a setup like that, it's possible that the change in temperature between load and idle won't create a significant change in the diode temp, which would be why you don't see any change.

However accurate your temps are, I wouldn't sweat it with watercooling.

[Yodums]

They seem good.

Although you shouldn't worry as mentioned since they won't go much higher.

Will this question be on the test and will it be essay:)
good or bad was the question?

good=most adequate cooling system (superior)

bad=nothing if it works:)

just had to say that


For real thats great,I dont hear of too many people that have the same idle/load temps.

As compuwife said, what are you using to stress your computer

[KeyboardCowboy]

i usually a few programs, unreal running in a demo loop, 3d mark and a program that my friend made that works really well, i don't think that you are stressing your cpu enough, either that or your cpu temp monitor isin't working properly

[Yodums]

24 Full Load seems pretty right. You average around high 20's on water cooling or low 30's.

Although you should try these combinations all at the same time:

CPUBurn
Toaster(High Prioty)
Seti@home
Folding@home
3dMark 2001
Prime 95


... That is like the "ultimate" test. Although it does seem a little too crazy test but your system should take it running everything very slow.

[Betty]

I don't know a whole lot about watercooling...yet.
But, if the temps are that low, I don't think I would worry about it....but, should they both be the same temps??
I only question the fact that they are the same, maybe your temp monitor isn't accurate?

[Colin]

Obviously there is a problem with the temp monitor. I don't trust any of them.
