Jimmy_doll Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Hi i run an athlon xp 2400+ and have considerable trouble cooling it. I just wonder how companys such as tiny keep the processors in their machines cool. Their pcs are always in tiny cases with a tiny case fan or no case fan and they are very quiet unlike my tornado 11 powered beast. All my friends comps are still under warranty so i cant go looking inside them. Anyone know the secret? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_doll Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 No not that bad. My comp is cool enough. I dont want to get into the pc temps conversations cos i had all them before. Its just that for my comp to be cool there needs to be a big case and loud fans. Company made comps seem to get away with small cases and quiet fans. I just cant work out how Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know about tiny but my Sony from the factory is nice and quit but look at temps 122 farenheit I take the side off and it cools down to about 114.

Jimmy_doll Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 thing is if my comp runs at that high temps it just keeps crashing. Do you think maybe something wrong with my processor. Basicly i think 50 is the very maximum it will stay stable at Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatRyder Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Well, I have my barton 2600+ oc'd and with stock cooling my temps havent gone over 56 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 very carefully...lol....actuazlly a lot of those have heat problems to, but people buy them because they look cool and don't really pay attention to temps most of the time. Not only that, they usually DON'T fold or run there system at 100% 24/7. The only thing those usually do is surf the web or check email and solitar.

crash Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 If you don't wan't to go with a water cooling rig or have a loud pc, (assuming you've already cleaned the inside of your case up with round cables ect for max air flow,) you could always, (Uggh!) clock your processor down . If you go say 100 MhZ or so you could probably drop a few degrees. Just remember that all proc. are not created equal. When they threw your's into the 2400+_ pile it may have been very close to the max for a 2400, therfore it will always run a little hotter than say a processor that was put in the 2200+ pile but was efficient enough to run @ 2400+ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanksta Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 I dont know about tiny but my Sony from the factory is nice and quit but look at temps 122 farenheit I take the side off and it cools down to about 114. that is funny with my setup right now the temp goes higher with the panel off, cuz of the very good air flow, heheheheheheheehhe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
