justinlay Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 Just put this new machine together for a friend, and was wondering what temps i was getting. I didnt think these are correct temps even though I have a massave heatsink and fan on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 If you need a tep. converter or any thing else go here. http://joshmadison.com/article/convert-for-windows/ 1C = 33.8F -5C = 23F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted January 12, 2009 Author CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 If you need a tep. converter or any thing else go here. http://joshmadison.com/article/convert-for-windows/ the program im using also will display in F too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm on my laptop now, but the desk top runs about the same as yours. I'm using a ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the conversion that will come in handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 That's a pretty spiffy cooler too! Hell it moves twice the air mine does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted January 12, 2009 Author CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 You think them temps are correct? Its currently 75F in the house, and its been up and running for 3 hours doing windows updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'd almost bet on it. Is it on the floor carpeted or bare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted January 12, 2009 Author CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'd almost bet on it. Is it on the floor carpeted or bare? Its on a table right now with its side open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'd say its probably cool as heck in there. No heat containment at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted January 12, 2009 Author CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah there's also a 120mm fan right next to the headsink pulling air out. At least dont haft to worry about cooking this cpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPawlak Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 lol... theres no way scientifically that a cpu can run that cool unless its outside in the cold. i have never in my life seen one run that cool. get a temp gague and stick it on the cpu heatsinc =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'll fire my desk top up tomorrow and use it then post a screen shot of the temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt think these are correct temps even though I have a massave heatsink and fan on it That means the temp. is not being read. lol... theres no way scientifically that a cpu can run that cool unless its outside in the cold. i have never in my life seen one run that cool. get a temp gague and stick it on the cpu heatsinc =) That is not true. I've seen CPU's run at - 20 using liquid nitrogen for cooling, and other's using a liquid cooling method run at around 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buntz Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 Even a watercooled cpu can not run below ambient temperature. Try reinstalling core temp. here is the latest version 0.99.3 http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted January 12, 2009 Author CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 I just check it out its running 23 C in Bios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roco Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 lol... theres no way scientifically that a cpu can run that cool unless its outside in the cold. i have never in my life seen one run that cool. get a temp gague and stick it on the cpu heatsinc =) I agree , air cooling cannot run a lower temp. than the ambient (room) temp , no matter how much air you blow at it , or how big the fins are , best prog I have found is http://www.filehippo.com/download_speedfan/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blako Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 If all your using is a heatsink and airflow, the best you can do is to approach the ambient temperature. Now I'm just doing my best estimates here so please oblige. If one of you would like to correct this list go for it. Air: 10-50 degrees Celsius over ambient. Water: 5-30 degrees Celsius over ambient. Chilled water: 0 - 20 degrees Celsius over ambient TEC: 5 below - 20 over ambient Phase change: 60 below - 30 below ambient Liquid Nitrogen: 200 below - 100 below ambient Its only thermodynamics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biker9075 Posted January 12, 2009 CID Share Posted January 12, 2009 The CPU could have a bad sensor. Because like others said, there's no way that just a fan will let it run below ambient temps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted January 13, 2009 Author CID Share Posted January 13, 2009 The CPU could have a bad sensor. Because like others said, there's no way that just a fan will let it run below ambient temps I think it was just the program, in bios it look correct.

Roco Posted January 13, 2009 CID Share Posted January 13, 2009 That means the temp. is not being read. That is not true. I've seen CPU's run at - 20 using liquid nitrogen for cooling, and other's using a liquid cooling method run at around 0 So how many home folk are running liquid nitrogen for cooling, ? indeed Blako is right enough , from my own limited home user experience , if with aircooling you can get to within +10 C of ambient you are doing OK , with water cooling maybe within + 5C , and thats not using a chiller for the water , any readings outside that range I would expect it to be a sensor or program error , the old tried and tested way was to grip the heatsink body , if it felt cool it was OK, if warm to touch again ok , if you couldn't hold it , you had a problem , .
