airman Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 Is this possible? I was talking to this guy just now, and he says his athlon xp 2400 overclocked to 2.2 is running a 15c on air cooling. a thermaltake tr2. he also says his room temp is comfortable. man...to get a processor that cold it'd have to be like -5 below in that room. i wouldn't say that's comfortable. i'm not calling this guy a liar, but all i can think of it that he's got a bad thermal probe.

sYstEmATiC Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 (edited) well, there are programs that do something to cpu's that can lowert the cpu temp....check this out. (taken a while back) this is on a solid aluminum hs from evercool with a 70mm fan on it. with that program off, my cpu ran about 42c EDIT* its not very readable but it says 20c/64f for the cpu Edited December 28, 2003 by sYstEmATiC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 He might be mistaking the system temperature for the cpu temperature. However, I still am doubtful because on air cooling, you obviously can't have the thing being cooled be colder than the air that's cooling it. Unless that guy is weird and he finds a ~13C room (because the chip is ALWAYS going to be hotter than the air) comfortable, then I'd say there's something awry. It could all be a mistake, though. I remember my K7S5A only had two thermal probes, so if I tried to access "temp sensor #3" in MBM5 it would give some bogus reading like 6 deg or something.

airman Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 my point exactly. i'm going to ask him what proggy he is using to read those temps! systematic, i just put easytune4 on my comp and my temps didn't drop one bit! i'm very unhappy with you!

airman Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 yeah, i have a gigabyte mobo. (notice my sig) i can't find a vcool install for a kt600 chipset. i'll keep looking though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobalt Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 <_< Doubtful.. i once had a power failure in the night and temps in the house went down to 11c (51F) but when i woke up it was fixed. i opened my PC and even with that room temp i had 19c on the cpu monitor and only for a second it rapidly went up to normal low 30's.

EternityEight Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 It cant get lower than room temperature.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 i have had some sensors on MBM register values like -92C I dont think that is right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeter_acres Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 There is another "cooling" software called CPUIdle Click Here Works well... sends the HLT command to the processor to basically shut it off when not in use... I'm on water now, so no need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy_Dunbar Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 If he's at 15C on air I want to import some of his AIR even with a TEC that temp be tough to get to I'd think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
