My CPU and Graphic card temperatures?

[Stuge]

my Cpu temperature in Idle is usaually 52 Deg Cel (Via Bios ) and GraphIc Card temperature is usually 56Deg when Idle(When I'm not playing games ) (via EVEREST Ultimate Edition),but reaches about 69deg when playing games .Now I want to know what do you guys think about these cooling solutions ->

about this for the graphic Card ..
I know these will be costly.

Also suggest other cooling solutions from different companies?

hmm..which CPU you got? and what CPU temp your Bios setup showing? as well as the RPM of your CPU FAN? which PSU you are using at the moment?

You can use a cheap alternative from Artic Cooling (I am using one)

but if you play a lot of games then consider a more professional cooling solution like from Cooler Master..but first provide me the information properly..also did you tried Speed Fan? is not then try it and post your readings here:

Enjoy!

I have E6600 (its not overclocked ) and Fan speed is 947 rpm and I'm using Cooler master eXtreme Power 600W (RP-600-PCAR)(Bought this as I will be getting Geforce 8800 GTS after sometime ) .Right now using XFx Geforce 8600 GT .

According to Speed fan :Core 1 temp is 47 and Core 2 is 48 Cel

and one of my Hard drive has 47 deg and other has 56deg

Try my solution, run the pc with open casing, i do that and have very very low system temperature and moderately low gpu temperature!

 

[Desolator]

Which motherboard are u using?

I use to do that with my old Pentium 4 system ,which used heat up too often ,but at the same time there is danger of system collecting undue dust .Remember Dust kills ..

that's normal..if your CPU temp remains within the 50C limit in the Idle stats for around 2-3 hrs (it should be) then there is nothing to worry about...as far as the HD temp concern don't worry about it either..HD usually gets hot due to massive data reading and it's built to handle that temperature..

Heavy CPU cooling solution is required only if you want to play lots of games as games continuesly use the CPU for the processing which makes it hot faster..

So now give it a try..keep your PC on for 3-4 hrs in Idle stat then see what is the temp reading..(I am sure speed fan also showing OK signal at temp below 50C)

PS: also checkout this detail guide provided by Tom's Hardware for Core 2 Duo:

Thanks,

Which motherboard are u using?

Intel 965.thinking of getting rid of it as it doesn't allow overclocking .

Ok ,I read the Tom's Hardware guide(really nice }and will do the 3 hours idle test .


in b/w what do think regarding the graphic card Temperature?There I feel I shd go for better cooling .So that I can overclock it .

GPU gets hot very fast, that's where a good cooling solution jumps in..but first do that three hr test and then note down the temp...

 

[Atif]

If ur GPU has no Fan on heatsink then get one.I m using that method and the temp remains between 56 to 50 C.

It does have a fan preinstalled by XFX.Without fan or heatsink it would have caught fire by now .

@Inferno :The hard drive drive which is attaining higher temp is a slave drive and I don;t understand why it gets heated up so high as comparison to the other drive, on which 'm using XP .

 

[Stuge]

.but first do that three hr test and then note down the temp...

Sadly ,but CPU reached temp b/w 53-54 Cel during 2-3 1/2 hr idle test ..

looks like I will need to install one side fan also or Else, I will be forced to buy Themalite or Cooler master or Arctic cooling solution for CPU .Those Cooling solutions are available from Rs2400-Rs3500

Good thing is after installing the fan in the front side of the cabinet hard drive temp remains b/w 30-41Cel( For first HD its about 30-35 for Second one its abt 34-41Deg[SLave one ))

 

[iNF3RN0]

hmm..yes in that case you'll need the better CPU cooling solution!

 

[A.Rafay]

these temps look OK to me.... no need to worry about..... just install a good quality exhaust fan in the casing behind the CPU and u'll be fine

 

[Stuge]

Looks like that

in b/w I'm using this case ->

[A.Rafay]

uff this casing doesn't look temp friendly... its too small... just add a bigger and better fan in loc 1... place the removed fan in loc 2

 

[Desolator]

get a gigabyte fan with variable rpm knob

Lol (So what tyoe of case shd I buy a CM stalker..hell its Rs10000 and its of no use to me ) There is already 120mm fan on both rear and Front (Front one(Intake one ) is running at a speed of 2200 rpm)
.

I think ,I should COnsider my room temperature as well .I did the test when the room temp was about 34Cel (I have calculated that using Room termometer and also confirmed using Air conditoner Sensor ).

 

[A.Rafay]

then the fans connected aren't doing their job right... the temps look fine... don't worry

u can also mount a exhaust fan on top of the casing if u r having serious temp problems in future...

 

[Stuge]

@Desolator .Thanks .I will if I can find that .

Ok,beginner ,.

Anyway ,I will still have to buy some good cooling solution as I will love to overclock this processor before I sell it .
