I just put together my P4 rig yesterday, then pulled the HS off and reapplied my thermal goo today, so these temperatures should drop.
Anyway, here's my system:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.8C
MB: Abit IC7
HS/Fan: Thermalright SLK-900 w/ Vantec Tornado (intake)
GPU: eVGA e-GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
Sound: m-Audio Revolution 7.1
Anyway, my case has excellent cooling in it as the old Athlon system I had it in ran at 29 C when overclocked decently.
I'm running at 39C idle, 42C load right now with my new system.
System temp reads at 25C
Is this normal?
I've heard something about the Abit boards giving higher temperatures than are accurate, but I'm not inclined to believe it unless a lot of people confirm it.
Oh yeah, I'm using Arctic Silver's Ceramique thermal compund. My old system used Arctic Silver 3.
