ReV smokey255 · Dec 27, 2004, 09:24 PM

what a good thing to measure temps of the cpu i have a ASus A8V k8t800 or whatever it called lol

Geminiwave · Dec 27, 2004, 09:30 PM

ASUSPROBE! hahaha i was just telling you about that on IM.

MiDKnYtE · Dec 27, 2004, 10:48 PM

yep. the manufacturer's utility is usually the best. If you don't like that you can also try Speedfan or MBM (not sure if MBM supports that board or not).

ReV smokey255 · Dec 27, 2004, 11:48 PM

holly potato like how cold my ram is. this is a record for coldness on ram for me i am idaling the ram is not overlclocked its on air

Geminiwave · Dec 28, 2004, 12:05 AM

thats motherboard. not ram.

and your CPU is at a nice temp. what proc are you using?

MiDKnYtE · Dec 28, 2004, 02:43 AM

dang. you must live somewhere cold. 30 is pretty awesome.

ReV smokey255 · Dec 28, 2004, 11:12 PM

no i have a torando case fan lol hehe powerful i am ordering two more that is the power of one torando. i used to get reads of 40- full 53. Now it dosent get over 40c i am buying a second one and i am going to learn how to overclock the cpu should i start overclocking its AMD athlon 64 3500

Lowfat · Dec 28, 2004, 11:21 PM

Its an Intel chip right?

I am watercooled, and running 1.5V on a xp-m 2500+ and can only get 30C @ idle.

MiDKnYtE · Dec 28, 2004, 11:31 PM

AMD athlon 64 3500That thing must sound like a leaf blower, but it gets the job done. hehe

ReV smokey255 · Dec 28, 2004, 11:38 PM

yes i live by it they are insanly good i reccomend one

Sargentwhitey · Dec 29, 2004, 12:23 AM

I get about the same temps for my processor... after gettin that Zalman 7000-Cu keep my Processor nice and cool... even cooler then my mobo

ReV smokey255 · Dec 29, 2004, 01:01 AM

what the best heatsink for me

MiDKnYtE · Dec 29, 2004, 01:03 AM

I think you're fine with what you have. 30C is solid. The Zalmans 7000s and ThermalRight XPs are tops at the moment.

Iridium · Dec 29, 2004, 04:39 PM

I always heard that motherboard monitoring utilities were not that accurate though...?

MiDKnYtE · Dec 29, 2004, 05:28 PM

true, but everything else being equal the manufacturer's software is usually the best.

CDsDontBurn · Dec 29, 2004, 05:37 PM

it's all about the tornados. I have two in my rig right now. One over my CPU, and another one on the side panel right over my GFX card

.

Iridium · Jan 1, 2005, 03:32 AM

Hmm, maybe I should break my vaccum...err Tornado out of retirement soon...

Lol.....use a fan controller to keep them tornados in check

Iridium · Jan 1, 2005, 04:10 AM

I will have to pick up another one for those...actually I just may do that in the next couple of days. Are you using one, and if so, what have you found that works well for you? Don't the Tornado's have 4 wire leads, or am I mistaken.

CDsDontBurn · Jan 1, 2005, 04:16 AM

i'm using Vantec Nexus fan controller ATM. Tornados have two sets of wires coming out, one for the RPMs that connect to your MoBo, and the other is the standard 4 pin molex for power.
