Hey
Just wondering about my gig T-bird. When I started, it was running full load around 56-57 C, which was hot. I then scraped the pink sh!t off the hs and used thermal paste, and added an intake fan to the case. Then, my CPU was running about 52 C, where it usually is when I'm using the computer (RC5/OGR Distributed.net in the background).
Last night I disabled everything and ran a full Disk Doctor check on the HD since my computer has been less than stable lately.
I turned on the monitor this morning and it said the CPU was 27C. I turned on Distributed.net and watched it start climbing. It hit 47 by the time I left and was still rising. Is there really that much difference between no-load and full-load?
Is it just that my hs has a low saturation point and I need a new one? Or is this normal?
thanks
