ivangela Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 So I posted something a couple of weeks ago and happened to mention that my temp was 70C on my PII940 at 100% load and everyone freaked out, so I decided to open the case today and give it a good spring cleaning. Holy dust batman After putting it all back together and restarting my SMP client and letting it run for a while I checked the temps again and lo and behold a 33C drop in temps! I am at 100% load and the temp reads 37C!!! I am shocked at the difference. I suppose I shouldn't be but I am nonetheless. PS I use HWMonitor for my temps. I see a lot of you use Real Temp. Is that more accurate or personal preference? I just like to stick with CPUID stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Yeah I love my HWMonitor since it does everything! You should overclock that sucka some more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivangela Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Yeah I love my HWMonitor since it does everything! You should overclock that sucka some more! Now it's cooler again, I might. Because it's my only PC, I am loathe to up the voltage and screw stuff up, but I want to try more than just the basic OC I've done.

Guest_Jim_* Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Wow! I'm getting 51C on the CPU and 41 C on the motherboard right now with folding, and you're getting 37C at load! No fair But then, it could probably stand to have some dust removed, and with two GPUs right beneath it running at 70C and 63C as I type, maybe my temps aren't that high. The measure you have for the CPU temp, is that coming from the CPU or the motherboard? Because I have the fourth core unlocked the temperatures reported by the CPU are wrong and the sensors are actually on the motherboard.

I included the HWMontitor screenshot. Maybe you can tell me! Next time Bosco.

I was a little embarrassed at the sight to be honest Yep, those are the CPU temperatures, not the MB temps like mine. Those values are the same for both of us, at about 50C. The reason the other temperature for the motherboard is at 30C for you I'd have to speculate is because you're not running GPU's at 100% on the shaders right beneath it.

Andrewr05 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Reminds me of the thread I made awhile back, I didn't get such drastic temp drops but it was quite noticeable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
