| 291561 | 2004-11-15 03:59:00 | The 2 AMD643200 PC's I built last week both ran about 40 degrees and running stress tests with CPU usage at 100% overnight made the temp rise by only about 2-3 degrees! | CYaBro (73) | ||

| 291563 | 2004-11-15 04:47:00 | i got an Athon 2000+ runs at 40-43 idle but around 37-40 in winter have you tried differnt monitor programs? my bios' health section seem to increase the temp reading by 20 i now run motherboard monitor 5 and it gives a reading which actually matches yup with the 'touch' test |

I manually disabled my PSU fan too, and don't have any case fans. The BIOS meter says 118 degrees C, but I don't believe it. I think the mercury thermometer I sellotaped to the core is a bit more reliable. No, wait - it's fallen off. The sellotape melted :O. Just putting it back now. Oh dear - it went up to 100 then burst, all over my precious Celeron which I run at 3.53GHz (Vcore of 5.5V)... Now my PC's frozen, damn. Just rebooting it now (I'm on the PC I submerged in oil right now - don't even bother to moniter it's temps - I'm sure they're pretty low. The oil's too hot to touch, but I suppose that's because it dissipates the heat so well. I can't seem to start up the mercury PC. Seems mecury conducts a bit more than the milo I spilt into the PSU yesterday. No, wait - it's booting! Yes, it's loading Windows. The graphics are all distorted though, I think I sat on my video card while I was using this PC just before (I don't believe in cases, my mobo just sits on the carpet. Sometimes it freezes when I shuffle my feet lots, but it goes fine other than that. Yes, there's definitely cracks in the Radeon 9800 Pro I sat on. Damn - that cost me a whole $16.95 wholesale! But the PC got into Windows, not bad for mercury in the CPU pins is it? I don't know how the Radeon card goes though, some of the pins on the VPU are snapped off by 50 kg's of me sitting on it. Appears to be some arcing too, coming from inside the PSU. I *think* that was caused by my idiot brother, who just squirted a jet of water straight into the PSU. The house lights flickered and my modded UPS smoked a bit, but the PC seems to go still. But then, I think I might have got some wires crossed when I tried to double the 12V rail so my DVD would rip movies faster (32X instead of 16X) - Motherboard Monitor 5 says my +5V line is on 11.97V, and my 12V is on 5.02V. Musta made a slight mistake there :(. I did wonder why my webcam exploded when I plugged it in the USB hole... or was that FireWire? I did have to jam it in pretty tight. But then, it could be when I accidentaly tried to plug my cellphone charger in the USB to charge my CMOS battery, which was flat after I borrowed it to try and power my broken DVD player off it in a power cut. Only, I'm not sure it was a power cut, it might have blown a fuse when I hooked my hard drive to the light socket to make it go faster (it was only 5,400RPM at 12V, so I figured I could up that to 108,000RPM by hooking it into the 240V. But the HDD went chooooooooooo (pitch getting higher and higher) and then smoke came out of the bottom of it. I tried it the other way round too, but no luck. Just have to get a new PC I guess, this one's a bit dodgy. Sometimes it crashes randomly when I overclock it past 5GHz, or put the Vcore above about 6V. I'm thinking of getting a Warehouse PC, then taking out all the good components and selling them to pay for the PC. Then I think I'll by a PC Chips mobo for it off Trade and Exchange, one that can fit those good old Cyrix 486's (I've heard from some very reputable people that although they are only 486's they can outperform a P4 2.8Ghz even at very low (sub 100Mhz) clock speeds, some nice Adata RAM from QMB, my Cyrix 486 33Mhz I use to prop my screen up that extra CM, my home made CD-rom drive (doesn't read, but spins just like a real pro one), and one of those great quality Hyena PSU's. They sound quite powerful. How does this system sound to you guys? And just for the record, not a single thing I said in this post was serious. ON TO THE SERIOUS ANSWER ---------------------------------------------------- I think that 60 degrees is getting quite hot personally, I would be happer around the 40 mark - that seems to be average.
