coolies!

awsome, i put this http://www.scorptec.com.au/index.php?prdid=00009297 cooler on which i had stored away for about 4 months because last i had it on i was getting 50c + and now im getting

38 to 40 on full and
42 to 40c on low
On idle

about 43 to 46 on full load i think!

and i have 2 fans at the rear at my case and a pci slot exhast fan(very cool)

and 1 at the front and up the front on the left behind the hdds on the side!

and im getting 14c for case temp and i only have one fan working and that was at the rear!

The best cpu fan ive had so far :d(cant wait for watercooling for my x800xt and amd64)

and this is on a amd 2600+ xp!

 

[sagitta85]

14C for the case?!!?!!?! Wow. I thought I had the lowest. I have 25C, with one 92mm tornado fan in the front and a 80mm on the back.

 

[Vortexkrow]

lol yay i g0t lowest for all i know but now i cant overclock for some reason my motherboard has locked up because every time i higher the fsb even like 1 up and restart comp it goes BEEEEEEEEEEEE****OFFEEEEP! :'( i got 1068 for my score on 3dmark03 is that good?

List your specs. I got over 5000 with my rig, can't remember the right numbers.

 

[GM1010]

Is it really 57 deg F or less in your room?

 

[Vortexkrow]

umm,
Amd 2600+ XP
Geforce fx5200 128mb
Ga-K7nnXP Motherboard
80G seagate 8mb IDE
80G Seagate 8m IDE
80G WD 8m IDE
Thermaltake Purepower 480W
512mb TwinX Corsair pc3200
256Mb Corsair Valve or what ever its spelled

 

[sagitta85]

Just ran the benchmark for 3DMark03 and I got 5903.

Vortex, that low score is because of your "not so good" video card.

 

[Vortexkrow]

is lower the score crapper ?

 

[Section8]

Yes...LOL

 

[clocker2]

Yup.
Sorry.
On the bright side, you have room to improve.

 

[Vortexkrow]

lol i thought it was lower score better! then whats the best score ? also i didnt finsh the bechmarking as i stopped it thou the cpu test and i think there ssomething wrong with my mobo!

 

[Yuriman]

You cant get a best score. The faster the card the better the score. Right now the X800's and 6800's are breaking 12,000 and more.

 

[nkcd]

that is weird, you get 14* C case temp and getting 40* C CPU temp, that's not cool, it should be a lot lot lower. Imagine if your case temp is around ours, yours will be 50*+C for that CPU of yourse. Btw, where do you have your PC sitting that, because that's ultra low.

 

[Vortexkrow]

my case is sitting on my desk next to my monitor on the left of it!

 

[Korndog]

u got a fx5200?
i was getting about 1800-1500 marks with my old 5200. u need to do some tweaking.

 

[PCGUY112887]

I don't see how you can have a 14C case temp unless your room is ice cold. I mean, with air your computer can't get cooler than the room it's in....

 

[drenader]

Yeah must be a fluke in getting your temps. Or you live in a deep freeze in the back of Wendys old fashion hamburgers.

 

[Electron Chaser]

That is a huge temp spread between the Case and the CPU temp. Not to mention that very low case temp.

I mean I have a virtual tornado going through my computer (700+ CFM) . I keep my house at a constant 72 and I have my ceiling fan going full tilt on average it is about 73-74 F in my office. My case temp at idle sits at 27 C. So my question is do you live in an igloo?

 

[sagitta85]

Haha. Yeah, you might be reading the wrong temp?

 

[mtb856]

Try using/borrowing a thermometer and seeing if your case is actually at 15°C ( highly unlikely IMO), mine is around 25°C and I've never seen it below 18°C even in the winter... I don't open my window and duct air to my computer, my mom would kill me .
