| 208425 | 2004-01-20 05:03:00 | > Im running a P4 3.2ghz HT at 22 C ...... methinks you have got the wrong diode there. My P3 1Ghz which only gets to 28 degrees in the winter is currently running at 38 to 40 due to the high ambient temps. I can get it to read 22 as well if I select the wrong diode or temp sensor. My P4 3.2 however runs at 40 degrees idling and under full load gets up to 67 degrees. This with a huge Zalman heatsink on it and you can feel the heat coming out the back. When installing I accidently dropped a cable into the heatsink and the fan got stuck and did not turn. I ran a memory test for 4 minutes and turned it off. I discovered the problem when I went to remove the heatsink to change a memory module and I burned my fingers on the fins of the heatsink. Had to wait 4 minutes for it to cool down enough to remove it. So they generate do lots of heat when loaded. |

| 208426 | 2004-01-20 05:29:00 | in my view 70 degrees is not what you want my Pc alert 4 program says my CPU is 58 when playing games, but AIDA 32 is always 5 degress less than PC Alert. however im told that 55 degrees is when u get lagging and crashing - on a AMD Duron (what i have) i dunno about the "crashing" temp for athlon XP, but what Core does ur CPU have? i have a volcano nine too. those things can go up to 5400 RPM. stick it on that |

| 208428 | 2004-01-20 22:46:00 | Wow, this post has taken off 5400rpm is great @ cooling but i can hardly concentrate with all that buzzing going on. Thats another thing, how do Compaq get their evo computer so quiet??? you can hardly hear them running???? |

| 208429 | 2004-01-20 23:24:00 | > how do Compaq get their evo computer so quiet??? good design work, something a lot of people don't do. they proberly run a lot hotter than i would like but it should be well withen the limits. 5400rpm is not exactly extremly fast however it does depend on the make of fan, the heatsink used and quality of the case. |

| 208430 | 2004-01-21 00:51:00 | could you recomend a good brand for a quiet but fastish fan that could be stuck on a heat sink? Id love to get the sound down for watching dvd's etc | M@TT (149) | ||
| 208431 | 2004-01-21 00:59:00 | panaflow are one of the better ones. otherwise a variable speed fan is the best optoin (or speed controller). even oem's like HP have used variable fans. unfortunatly most of the eay to get variables seem to adjust from normal noise/speed to bloody loud/fast. also, if possible, install a larger but slower fan. eg install a 80mm fan instead of a 60mm. you may need an adapter but it does queit it down without loosing any cooling ability. |
