it's call diminished returns. cooling is only going to get so good mid 30's is as good as it's going to get on air cooling unless you live in a downright frigid area. some people have hit 20's in the winter.

with good airflow a lesser heat sink can get by. good job on your OC. those are great temps on a 2400

please don't type in capitals. it's somewhat annoying.

also as i recall you're the guy with the2x200+CFM tornadoes. that kind of airflow on any sink is going to net some low temps.

i havent seen my idle temps for a while

<----- Folds

However I have seen my idle upon occasion and it is usually 32 - 36 depending how hot the room is. When the AC is on its usually low 30's idle and mid 30's under load.

I don't have idle temps, but my loads are in the 31-37 range, depending on room temp.

When I forget to turn on FAH, idle is a few degrees lower than load.

I idle around room temperature. But that is only because I am God.

craigiz1 · Aug 14, 2003

I run SETI 24/7 and never see idle.

System in sig.

FOLD!!! THERE IS NO IDLE, ONLY LOAD!

CrystalMethod · Aug 14, 2003

My idle temps are always 4°C - 5°C above ambient. But, the system is never idle... (folding)

Barnstormer · Aug 14, 2003

Ditto on the rarely idle, but load is 42 right now

countermods · Aug 14, 2003

ok enough with the folding and sorry bout those caps my button was stuck got my new keyboard this mornin

It all depends on ambient temp too, A person can have idle temp of 40C at ambient temp of like 34C and another can have idle temp of 35C at ambient temp of 24C, doesn't mean the second person is using better cooling.

39 CPU, 28 mobo.

Temps dropped by almost 10C now that I'm back in an air conditioned room.

wk217 · Aug 14, 2003

I also hardly ever see idle temps, but when i AM at idle, CPU = 37C, Mobo = 28C

I haven't seen my computer's idle temps in over a year. Right now it's doing 51c at load with an SLK-900 and a Vantec Stealth fan.

tfr2087 · Aug 15, 2003

idle temp around 32c

Roboman101 · Aug 15, 2003

my idle is about 28c

Lord09 · Aug 15, 2003

Folding as well, but I live in Souther California where its always hot. My room temp is usually around 80F, idle around ~38C and Load from 43-46C.
