    I agree, dont trust outside programs. Unless your using gas and cooled liquid, you cant go below room temp. Find a motherboard monitor from the manufacturer to correctly get the temps.

      That temp does seem a bit strange. Unless you live in Alaska :laugh: My CPU runs @ 36Cidle w/ a Tt Tower and AS5.

        Re: OC'ing

        The temp difference between my overclocked CPU and not OC'ed CPu isnt that big.

        With it not OC'ed the idle temp is 29-30,
        With it 10% OC'ed (1.8 OC'ed to 2.0) the idle temp is 35-36.

        So thats sweet, i got a bit worried as i know that intels have high running temps but i didnt know how hot AMD's ran.

          What cooling setup do you have? Watercooled or Air?

            Re: OC'ing

            I just use the cooling that came with the thing.. hasha.. its just air, i have 2 fans, one exhaust and one on the heatsink, my case has this kinda.. umm.. thing that goes from the side of the case where there is a grill over the fan on the chip so that it cets better air flow, but thats all i have.

            And its not reading the temps wrong as both Everest and my BIOS give me the same temperatures.

            The fan on the heatsink is good though, its running at 3500 rpm, i dont know about the other one, but it looks kinda biggish...

              Anything between 30 - 60 degrees is fine for a modern CPU. Dont listen to anyone who says otherwise. My old Athlon 1900 has been running for years at 60 degrees without a single problem still going strong now in my dads PC.

                  Hi Blak_Pheonix_MB,
                  I checked my PC...mine idles not at 16 but 30...It came up 16 after exiting BF2 but went up to 30...Sorry about my earlier post and confusion mate.

                    Thats sweet, i got a bit worried when you said your idle was 16, and started wondering why mine wasnt... but n harm done...

                    And thanks for your advice anyway! :)

                    Happy Gaming,

                      Of course they will both be the same, they are using the same sensor. Theat certainly doesn't mean that the sensor is right though.

                        True, but the temperature does sound about right doesnt it?

                        And i thought the main issues was that programs like Everest could sometimes be alot different to the BIOS reading, and that these were far more reliable..

                          Well you know that they make a 7800 that is pre overclocked and it is under warranty I just cant for the life of me think of the manufacturer I wanna say BFG or something like that the card will look like 7800OC plus if you are overclocking you want to use watercooling over AIR for more stable use.

                            Yea, trouble is i dont feel like putting more $$$ into my PC at the moment, and i dont know how much water cooling costs, but im guessing its not cheap. Also the thought of water near my comp does not sit easy with me... and are they noisy?

                              The water pumps are not near as noisy as a fan. As far as water goes in the computer they make Fluid XP+ it is non-conductive meaning you can literaly hose your computer with it and it wont fry anything! check this out
                              http://fluidxp.com/ they have a demostration somewhere on that site too.

                                You can get a water cooing kit(basic) for about 100.00US EVERCOOL WC-202 VGA & CPU look into that one it is cheap and works but remember to use fluid xp. I think it is wasy install too, but ive been doing it for a lil hop this helps
