What temperature (in FAHRENHEIT) does your CPU idle at?

Currently, mine is at 68F, so its Chilled.

And for the record, I have seen machines idle as high as 200F, albeit, they where damaged by that, often dieing, but I've seen 'em do it due the fact that they had more dust in 'em than a vacuum.my four cores are at 68,55,53,58 (c) respectively.


I'm lazy so I wrote a BCScript(tm) to turn it into fahrenheit:

Code: [Select]STORE(Tc,{68,55,53,58}AVERAGE());
STORE(Tf,(9/5)*Tc+32);
Tf;


so the average was 137.3 degrees fahrenheit.

or I could have just said:

Code: [Select]((9/5)*{68,55,53,58}+32)Average()

which gives me the same result. Sorry I've been working on BCScript a bit too much lately. 

Now, OTOH, I do have fallout 3 running in the background... it doesn't appear to be using any CPU THOUGH, so I dunno if it affected the result from speedfan.

200F sounds like around 80(c) which is around where my old k6-2 would often get to. But only when I was playing Duke3d and ONLY on the second BOSS level, Overlord. no idea why.

Core 1 37C
Core 2 37C
Core 3 33C
Core 4 36CI've noticed the "CPU Diode" is lower than the core temps, Core 1 is at 81, core 2 is at 82, I should note that this motherboard throttles the CPU from 2808MHz to 1532MHz (I can't, for some reason make those into a decimal number with my brain). My CPU is overclocked from 2.2GHz, its a Core 2 Duo E4500, I think. I'm using a Tuniq tower 120 heatsink, and there are a total of eleven fans in my case counting the PSU fan.

1 120mm front intake (kinda pathetic but it does the job)
1 80mm top exhaust
1 120mm PSU fan
1 120mm CPU fan
1 40mm north bridge fan
1 50mm south bridge fan
1 20mm mosfet
1 70mm GPU fan
2x 80mm side intake fans
1 80mm rear exhaust

The only thing I can complain about is the case, its a god awfully ugly Sunbeam Transformer case. I got it for a TRADE, traded that Dell Inspiron 1720 notebook for this rig.

Oh, and be sure to VOTE. Quote
