inevitab1e Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) So you're about to run a benchmark (superpi, prime), and you got your 3 temperatures right on the screen (sys, pwm, cpu). You start, one temp jumps really quickly, while others are slow and gradual. Can you guess which temp jumps the quickest, and falls the quickest after the load? My guess is CPU, anyone for PWM?

NoNothing Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 cpu and PWM usualy go hand in hand and PWM is USUALY higher then CPU, but yeh, the CPU temp is gonna go up fastest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampire Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 For some reason my PWM is LOWER than my CPU significantly, in fact not too much above my case temps. I find the CPU is by FAR the quickest to get hot/cool down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the CPU is by FAR the quickest to get hot/cool down. 480621[/snapback] Your pwm temp might be mixed up with your SYS temp. The pwm temp should be close to your cpu temp, sometimes higher. But it will not increase as fast as the CPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlb0809 Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 wats PWM? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_cow Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 Yeah whats pwm? I vote cpu i guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oralpain Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 PMW is the voltage regulator/mosfet. If you have good case cooling it's not odd for this to be much lower than CPU temp (depending on how CPU temp is reported). CPU should defiantly show the quickest temp changes.

xPETEZx Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 Out of those 3 id say CPU aswell! But then....I cant monitor my Case or PWN temps So for me its GPU! That can go from 35 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 my cpu goes from idle to load temp (and vice versa) in about 2 seconds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNothing Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 yeh, cpu temp can jump areound cfast, your case temp should never jump fast at all, and PWM should be slow but should be around the CPU temp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 (edited) It depends completely on the type of cooling you have. My video card temperature jumps up the fastest out of everything, then my mobo temp, then my cpu temp last, tied with the psu. EDIT: I think I just have really good cooling on my cpu or something...becuase this got me interested enough to record times of heatup/cooldown. Running with the tornado at 5 volts, going from idle to 100% load temp. took 5 minutes. Cooldown from load to idle took 40 seconds. This is a Barton running at 2.53 ghz, cooled by an Aerocool DP-102 with a 80 mm tornado running 5 volts.

CoolMaster Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 My comp usually goes from max load to normal idle in about 3-4 seconds i guess thats decent LOL my video card temp.....takes forever of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
