CharmedLover84 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I've seen other threads and such about this but I just wanna be totally sure. I'm running with SLI enabled, so I know my chipset is gonna run a bit hotter, but, I just... I'm paranoid, I'll admit it LOL It's Idling at 40C as we speak, and when I get out of 3DMark06 after running it's at around 42~45 depending on room temperature. I've seen it Idle as low as 37C if it's perdy cool in here. Is this normal? I have it set to where it turns on full speed as soon as the system turns on, the fan on the chipset, and I have an 80mm fan blowing from my grilling on my case-side directly in that area (in between the two 7900GTXs, I'm glad I didn't get one of those motherboards where there's no space between them, it'd be sufficating), so I can't get much more intake on it until I get another thermaltake high speed fan to replace the one that finally threw a blade a few days ago.

Gothic Case Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 It's ok, IMO Mine runs a lot warmer.. about 47C as we speak.. I'll be switching to an Evercool VC-Re in the next few days.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sswilson Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Yeah, I was a bit freaked by my 52c temps under load, but according to everything I've read over the last couple of days suggests that the chipset is rated to run much hotter than that.

CharmedLover84 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Okay, thanks for the comfort guys. 3GHz was a bust again so I'm back at 2.9. Fine by me LOL works great at 2.9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
