Sure i can see an argument for getting a quieter fan, but for the point of lowering the temp, i wouldn't worry yourself. People who check there CPU temp are paranoid!!! IMHO |

You want to be running no hotter than 65c, and the real reality is that 70-75c is the temp that you should start getting concerned, because current temperature detections are only indicative and do have a large margin of error - on the last generation of mobo's, some were out by +/-10-20c, most were at the +/-3-5c range though... >>Sure i can see an argument for getting a quieter fan, but for the point of lowering the temp, i wouldn't worry yourself. >>People who check there CPU temp are paranoid!!! IMHO "their" There is proper justification for keeping an eye on temps - stability and longevity. Higher temps will result in lowered stability, and an increase of 10c will effectively halve the lifespan of your cpu... so if you drop temps by 10c you'll basically double the lifespan of the cpu, which is especially important if you've gone and spent 3 (or even 4!) digits on a CPU. Treating that asset like crap isnt the smartest thing to be doing The point here is to keep his temps down AND have quiet operation... he can have his cake and eat it, and we're recommending along those lines Your attempt at a reality check was nice, but ultimately futile |

| 199371 | 2003-12-12 22:31:00 | Hi, after reading all this i decided to see what my temperatures were. I used Aida32, ill just copy and paste my stuff from aida Sensor Properties Sensor Type VIA 686 Internal Sensor Access ISA 6000h Temperatures Motherboard 32 °C (90 °F) CPU 45 °C (113 °F) Aux 23 °C (73 °F) Cooling Fans CPU 4787 RPM Voltage Values CPU Core 1.59 V +2.5 V 2.46 V +3.3 V 3.20 V +5 V 5.00 V +12 V 11.99 V I have a query, what is Aux? Are these normal temperatures for my AMD Duron? 900mhz FIC AZ11E(a) mobo |

| 199372 | 2003-12-12 23:03:00 | the Aux sensor is one that dosn't exit on the board but the chip has a spot for one that cpu temp is fine, its only 13 degrees over case temp (don't forget its reading via a under cpu sensor not an internal cpu sensor). case temp is a bit high, tho that all depends on what the room temp is. |

| 199373 | 2003-12-13 00:05:00 | Its about 24 to 26 inside here. I dont think my power supply fan runs at optimum, sometimes i have to manually turn it myself to get it to go. |

| 199374 | 2003-12-13 01:14:00 | fix that psu fan ASAP. it could be why the case temps are a bit high. | tweak'e (174) | ||
