Redish Poetic Moderator Long and Cursive road to the Ivory Pagoda in the province of Loraine 4076 Posts 12/03	Posted - May 4 2012 : 4:53PM Around 50 C or 55 C should be a ceiling that you don't hit often. If you are constantly getting over that, its time for more cooling. [Link]

BYOB_Kenobi Senior Member “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” - Kierkegaard 2684 Posts 8/09	Posted - May 4 2012 : 11:42PM Personally at idle/low-load, I like my CPU temps to be no more than mid 40s (on a really hot day, high 40s). Ambient temperature can bring your idle temps up by a lot. Air condition is great (used in server rooms). That being said, good air flow and cooling should bring it down further. One recommendation beyond cooling and ambient temps is a good diagnostic/monitoring program. Everest which is now AIDA is the best. It tells you everything including fan speeds, CPU-RAM utilization, CPU/FSB clock... Just make sure you don't have a run-away process that is elevating your CPU utilization (which will give you higher temps cause it's working harder) during idle. After ambient, cooling, CPU utilization, you might have to re-seat your CPU heatsink and fan and possible use thermal compound. Cleaning is a good idea too. [Link]
nietzsche Deactivated User 5470 Posts 8/03	Posted - May 5 2012 : 1:00AM well what i've done is take one of the side panels off, and it have a very small table top fan blowing into it, like 8 inch diameter fan. [Link]
nietzsche Deactivated User 5470 Posts 8/03	Posted - May 5 2012 : 1:02AM I'm just not clear as to what is 'normal' [Link]
BYOB_Kenobi Senior Member “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” - Kierkegaard 2684 Posts 8/09	Posted - May 5 2012 : 12:02PM not familiar with AMD processors, but make sure model isn't notorious for running hot. most processors, esp new ones are okay, but research exact model and see if others have thermal issues. if you ruled out everything, could always be a suspect processor (most are okay - like bell curve, but occasionally you get one at the end). the other part of the equation is if it's running mid 50s under low-no load, what are your temps at stress or high load?

Harri Patel Senior Member #SDNY he's all yours. -- Michael Steele 5110 Posts 3/03	Posted - May 5 2012 : 5:17PM I wouldn't worry about it unless the machine is spontaneously shutting down or rebooting, or otherwise acting weird. People use computers in non-airconditioned rooms in sweltering tropical climates, where the room temperature is probably 25-30 degrees F hotter than it ever is in Casa Neech. These guys that have eight fans in their computers are mostly just dorks being dorks. [Link]

BYOB_Kenobi Senior Member “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” - Kierkegaard 2684 Posts 8/09	Posted - May 5 2012 : 7:34PM ^ Hey, i have a case with 8 fans BTW, Antec 1100 is a great case and awesome 3.5/2.5" tooless drive bays with great airflow engineering.

nietzsche Deactivated User 5470 Posts 8/03	Posted - May 5 2012 : 8:47PM I bought this thing and the hard drive didn't even have a fan. The only reason I found out is because I had to have it repaired -- nothing serious -- and the tech told me to touch it, and it burned my hand. The computer had been running about 15 months without a fan. Needless to say I went out and bought one and installed it myself. [Link]
BYOB_Kenobi Senior Member “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” - Kierkegaard 2684 Posts 8/09	Posted - May 5 2012 : 9:13PM ^ cases or systems with no fans isn't good. not sure why you would get good hardware and not a decent case. you can get a good one for only $50 (Antec 300), you can get them on sale or rebate only $35-40 too.

Click to expand Exactly. If it was so critical to have a fan blowing on the hard drive, wouldn't Seagate, Hitachi, Samsung et al. insist that Dell, Gateway, Lenovo et al. install them in all their systems? Wouldn't they write into the warranty for retail drives that unless the user can prove the drive was fan cooled, they won't replace it? The fact that something is hot to the touch doesn't mean anything in and of itself, other than that it's hot. It might be a sign that something is wrong, or it might be exactly what the designer expects and wants. If you're running animated-cat-gifs.com out of your house, and you've got a case full of drives all frantically serving up files to try to keep up with the insatiable worldwide demand, maybe there's enough heat being generated to need a fan. For an ordinary home/office system with one or two drives, and not being used by some kid who's trying to overclock the CPU to the point that the computer can double as a space heater, I think you're fine without one.

What about amping up the VCore to 1.4-1.45V doing stress/stability testing for 24 hours running fast Fourier transforms resulting in space shuttle re-entry heat.

The fan only cost $10 so it's not like it broke my bank account. [Link]
Harri Patel Senior Member #SDNY he's all yours. -- Michael Steele 5110 Posts 3/03	Posted - May 6 2012 : 1:22AM I think you misunderstand me(?) I'm saying that the drive manufacturers don't do those things, and that your computer was not unusual for not having a drive fan, and probably didn't and doesn't need one. [Link]

RandomPrecision Senior Member Enjoy! 8175 Posts 3/06	Posted - May 7 2012 : 8:59PM I have two internal HDs (One Seagate and one WD) and they hover around 35 - 40 C My CPU has hovered at 50 C since 2007. But it's a Pentium 4. Newer ones might be hotter or cooler. I don't know. But obviously, as long as you have a fan on the CPU and it's working, you should be fine. My CPU fan can run a lot faster than it does but something in the BIOS or something slows it way down (I know this because if I unplug the computer, the first time I turn it back on, it sounds like a jet for a few seconds). But I can't seem to adjust the fan speed. The BIOS has two settings - full speed and whatever the system sets it at. I tried Speedfan several times but either I couldn't figure it out or it just doesn't do anything on my system. So my CPU stays at 50 - 55 C and that's that. I could try replacing the CPU cooler/fan with something else but at this point, if the PC has been running fine for this long, why bother? [Link]
