Monitoring New System Temp

[mwvirk]

Hello friends,

Here is my new system specs:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 G0 SLACR (Stock fan)
Mobo: Asus P5Q (P45 chipset)
RAM: Transcend 4GB (2GB x 2 GB)
GPU: XFX 8800GT 512MB (stock fan)
Case: ThermalTake Armor (normal cooling system with casing - no additional fan)
PSU: ToughtPower 750Watt
HD 1: Seagate 200GB IDE ATA (Bootable)
HD 2: Seagate 250GB Sata
HD 3:Maxtor 1TB Sata
DVD-Rom: LG DVD-RAM
Audio: PCI Creative Audigy 2 7.1
OS: Windows XP Professional 32bit

And here I need your help after running these tests:

I switch on my computer with
weather temp approx. 48*C
and
room temp was approx. 30*C

windows xp came up and asus temp monitoring tool started automatically (tool came in p5q mobo box)

and I got following temp on startup:

CPU 42
Mobo 30

Monitored temp for 30 min idle (did not even touch mouse/keyboard) and noticed that
Cpu (very slowly increased) reached to 44*C and stopped there (no increase in temp)
Mobo reached (very fast) to 42*C and stopped there (that mean it max)

No change in above temp for 30 min

Then I put 100% load on cpu for 25 min and got following temp:
Cpu 57 or 58 and stopped here (not going to 56 or 59)
Mobo 44 and stopped here (no change here)

Ran above 100% load for 25 and there was no change in above temp.

Then stopped load and put system idle again and monitored for 15 min
Cpu reached 45 & stopped here
Mobo reached 43 and stopped here

Monitored above temp for 15 min and there was no change.

Friends need your help… is it ok and still I need to bring temp more down (but how)

Thanks alot

You didn't tell us which Scythe coolers you are using or did i miss that?!?

With 30 degrees room temp all values are really ok - although idle temps should be somewhere under 40 (i'm referring to the usage of Mugen). Under 60 for full load is ok.

When my room is heated up to 30-33 degrees my system is idling (warm) at 35-38 degrees.

Without knowing which cooler you are using it is quite difficult to say anything. For me, the temperatures are alright.

stocked fan

also installed 1 140mm fan on front (in-take)

Well, then this is not a Scythe related problem - perhaps you should ask further questions not related to Scythe products in one of the various PC forums on the web - you'll get more answers there.

Some people have good results with stock fans but I experienced that the stock cooler of my E6700 was in no situation capable of keeping the CPU cool. That's why I replaced it with Ninja and then with Mugen.
