What are the specs on your PC?

[Tagrineth]

Nope, I meant 8GB. Just a harmless typo, boys... yes, I make them too sometimes. 😛

Just pulled my sk7 heatsink off my 2600+, cleaned the dust out of it, and switched out the orange death mega fan of deafness volcano 9 cool mod fan, and put in a panaflo, I've dropped approx 15degrees in temp and cut the noise down to about 2/3 or maybe even 1/2.

Woot to silencing computers!

 

[Scared0o0Rabbit]

After I finish this move I'm gonna buy a couple barton 2500+'s and run my system dually, at that point I plan on replacing all the fans in my pc with panaflo's to help with noise.

I use Vantec Stealth fans in my case (that's lined with Akasa Acoustic Dampening Mat) with a 420W Vantec Stealth PSU and a Vantec AeroFlow heatsink and it all comes off nice and quiet (as was the theme of my box), although if they made TMD fans in 80mm instead of the akward 70mm specification I'd use those for case fans as well...

It's taken me a while, but I'm slowly getting there. 🙂

I'm looking to get a Sapphire Radeon 9800XT Ultimate Edition, but they don't seem to be out yet.

Now I've got to make the big transition from my 1GHz PIII to the new box.

 

[Pearl Jammzz]

Nice Mal 🙂. I love your selection (I got a close setup). What yer temps runnin ya at full-load?

 

[mal]

I haven't really run it hard yet, but I'll be putting it to the test tonight.

I'll be doing some video editing and encoding, so that should tax things a little.

 

[Pearl Jammzz]

well, lemme know 🙂

 

[mal]

Shall do. :thumbs-up:

Bah, no temperature testing for me.

I only installed the 2 x 200GB discs yesterday (I'd been running on a 10 and a 20 just to play with the DTV card) and the Win 98 installer kept bitching about me having NTFS partitions, even though they I wasn't going near them. It took some stuffing around, but I got there. When it came to installing Win 2k I had no problems.

I hope to give it a good run tonight. 🙂

 

[mal]

After being kinda idle (just watching some mpgs) it was

CPU : 41C

case: 28C

After over 1 hour of video encoding (100% cpu usage)

CPU : 43C

case : 29C

I've got the Zalman heat sink's fan running about 2000 RPM.

 

[Curtis]

Those are pretty good temps mal. 2000RPM on the Zalman is a little less than full speed. I guess you are using the Asus PC Probe for temps? If you are, that program will only give you the socket temperature of the CPU, not the die temp. Get MBM5 and you can read both. 🙂

Actual CPU temps will be a few degrees warmer.

 

[mal]

Yeah, I've been using Asus probe.

I'll check out MBM. :thumbs-up:

Your PC is vaguely similar... what are your temps?

 

[Curtis]

Non-loaded stable temp is about 41-43C (CPU), or 37-39 (socket). Under 100% load for some hours (I run Folding@home), the CPU shoots up to a maximum of 51C, or about 46C for the socket. I'm running the Zalman, but at the lowest speed or about 1400RPM. All this on a stock 2500+.

I noticed a considerable rise in temps after I installed the 9800 Pro. This thing is hot and contributes to the overall case temps. I also don't have very good ventillation, despite running two case fans (admittedly at about half their native voltage).

 

[Pearl Jammzz]

I run at about 39-40 idle and about 44-45 running full cpu for quite awile. All this on stock cooling but I have an Antec fullsize case, so tonz of ventilation. It only has the 2 stock fans though :-\. Oh ya, I am running a 2500+ OC'd to a 3200+. I was quite happy in the fact that when I OC'd it, it didn;t jump too high in temp. Very nice 🙂.

 

[mal]

I'm stuck with using Asus Probe for the time being. I can't work out how to set the CPU diode in MBM.

I need to sleep. Perhaps it will make more sense tomorrow.

I have, however, dropped the fan speed a little and set folding@home going and will see how it's running when in the morning.
