| 609713 | 2007-11-09 09:30:00 | Yep, my E6750 temps (o'clocked to 3.2 GHz at 1.376v) are pretty low. I've got them as high as 48 degrees - but only after about 2 hrs of Orthos. The highest they get under load (ie: gaming) are 29 - 30 degrees. Sits at idle around 16 -17 degrees. Hey, if you're worried that it's too low - you could always overclock.... |

| 609714 | 2007-11-09 09:45:00 | (with ALOT of termal paste on it). more is not better. the whole point of thermal paste is to conduct heat from cpu to cooler, and it help is that it fills all the air gaps that would otherwise be insulation the two. more paste means more of a barrier between the cpu and cooler The Duo Core 2 do run a LOT cooler than the older CPU's. I you think about it, the CPU runs cooler anyway and you have a fan blowing cool air on the CPU all the time, thats basically doing Nothing when idle - so it is going to get cooler than air temp. no, if you think about it is impossible to make your cpu colder that the air you are passing over it. little thing they like to call the laws of thermodynamics:lol: the reason it makes us cold is that it evaporates sweat off us, which carries enthalpy (heat) from us into the air increasing it's entropy (disorder, ie the relatively calm, organised liquid turns into random, high velocity gas). unless you have water evaporating off your cooler, it can't get lower than air temp (compressing the air changes it's temp, so you can cool with a jet of compressed air that was originally room temp, but that's another story) the reason the temp is being displayed as being so low is because it's being read incorrectly on the diode or whatever takes the temperature. be concerned, because you don't know how hot it really is, but on the other hand, dont worry too much cause if you had a reasonable number, but that was still 20 degrees out, you could cook your chip and still think you're in the safe zone. atleast you know it's wrong. best you can do is get one of those infra-red laser thermometers and point it at the chip and see what it says |

| 609715 | 2007-11-09 10:55:00 | Try touching the fins of the heatsink after 5-10 minutes of idling. My E6750 heatsink fins are never warm when the CPU is idle, instead they are fairly cool to touch. My Pentium D heatsink, on the other hand, can be felt as warm even when the Pentium D CPU is idle. |

| 609716 | 2007-11-09 11:18:00 | just a thought (thinking about how most metal at room temperature is cool to the touch), if your CPU was really 7°C, you'd be seeing condensation on the cooler which should be even colder than 7°! (obviously condensation would only be on areas with little air flow) | motorbyclist (188) | ||

| 609718 | 2007-11-09 21:19:00 | Where do you live, and what, roughly, is the room temperature when your CPU is supposedly at 7 degrees? | george12 (7) | ||
| 609719 | 2007-11-10 00:57:00 | no, if you think about it is impossible to make your cpu colder that the air you are passing over it . little thing they like to call the laws of thermodynamics:lol: I agree . it is against the first and second law of thermaldynamics . something must be wrong with the device which is reading the temperature----unless your room temperature is lower than your CPU's idle temperature . and by the way, metal in room temperature feels colder than wood or some other stuff does doesn't mean it's temperature is lower . . . . it is something to do with the thermal conductivity . . . . . . |

| 609721 | 2007-11-10 02:01:00 | K - room temp here is prob around 22c? I'm on the northshore in Auckland. Just looking at Asus Probe now: - Vcore - 1.16v +3.3 - 3.26 +5 - 5.11 +12 - 11.76 CPU - 9°C < - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MB - 35°C CPU - 2500 RPM Chassis1 - 1394 |

| 609722 | 2007-11-10 02:06:00 | well the probe is pretty obviously wrong | motorbyclist (188) | ||
