How much of a difference does it make when AS "breaks in"?

^wargod · 01-26-04, 04:31 PM

The other night i didnt feel like leaving my computer on, as i always do, so i turned it off. Next day i power up, check my temps and it's down to 22c, i figured the diode might have gotten cold and needed warming up. 3 days later im still at 22c from 31c idle.
I havent bothered to see what it is at load, too lazy ;p
I remember someone stating that to let AS break in, it has to heat up, then go back to room temps etc, would breaking the compound in make this much of a difference? if so, yay, or are my readings possibly off.

Specs:
NF7 rev 2
2500+ @ 3200+ (layed off my overclocking for now

)
AS5
SLK-900 with zalman 90mm fan.

Case temps are 17 right now, go around 20.

also CPU disconnect function is off.

22c CPU idle

What the heck? thats just like watercooling.

altho 17c case temp is ..brrrrr ..cold

yea my basement is freezing,the things i do to cool my CPU

I'd guess the readings are off. I've experienced a similar 'problem' with my NF7-S where it would read very low temps (low 20's like you have) then on the next reboot, or power-cycle it would go back to normal. This has happened 2 or 3 times. Try to turn it off, then back on and see if it is still reading the same.

AS breaking in should make at most a 2C difference.

yea i noticed that too, after turning off then on for a couple of days, i noticed my temp droped about 5 degrees... not too bad

^wargod · 01-26-04, 04:49 PM

alright i'll check the bios temps and see if it changes

felinusz · 01-26-04, 04:55 PM

3-5 degrees is the most of a load temperature change I have noticed, and even a little difference like that is always a welcome one

. Perhaps your room temperature has changed?

Send here up to prime load, and see if it's at all similar to your 'old' load temperature, that will resolve the question

crimedog · 01-26-04, 05:02 PM

after mine broke in i lost 4c load temps

now i switched back to as3 for a short time and my temps suck

^wargod · 01-26-04, 05:10 PM

yea my temps went back to 31c after the reboot, oh well

Just another quirk fo the NF7-S.

Twister1234 · 01-26-04, 05:25 PM

mine get lower about 5-6 C in a period of 24-48 hours...

InvisGreenMan · 01-26-04, 05:31 PM

Does Ceramique get lower? I just reseated my HS yesterday.

Como · 01-26-04, 05:51 PM

i used the creme stuff, my load temps are almost 10C lower, closer to 7, but still. i'll have ot reseat it after i lapp, but still. i was impressed...the first few days it stayed kinda warm for me, but i figured i'd let it deal with it....then it got lower, day by day

Using Ceramique my temp dropped about 1 degree C after cycling.
