Help!! The 35C at a load don't sound good!! I don't have case fans right now, i'am waiting on them! Thats with my volcano 7 on high! I had prime 95, Morpheous, and some internet windows open..... Help me cool my system down more!!! Also i did'nt have the side on the case... it's been in the 80's and 90's f here.

Hi Wes,

35C is VERY low for the system that you are running.
Most run in the low to mid 40's at full load.
Don't complain at the low readings.

Take care.........

Agreed, 35C is a nice temp to have. The only caution I would have at this time is if that is the real CPU temp. I'm not familiar with that mobo, but it is not unknown in the past for the sensor to be away from the CPU, or maybe even the hardware reporting funny values like the Asus CUSL2 I'm using now.

I'm running a Celeron@850 MHz, with a FOP32 modified to have a smaller, slower fan on it. No case fans. And a PSU with a very slow fan. Nice and quiet, but the CPU is reported at 48C. :eek:

funny values... with cusl2???
waht do you speak of man!

I got the CUSL2 when it first came out, the values reported then were NOT correct, this was a common complaint in the asus newsgroup. Often it reported the motherboard temperature as being lower than the room temp, and similarly for the CPU when it was idle.

They released bios after bios, and after a while I swapped it for the A7V with a T-bird. Later I ended up getting the board back and I'm using it now! Seems during that time they managed it fix it one way or other. I wonder if there is still a bug of some sort, since MBM gives a CUSL2 option when reporting the temps.

ive noticed a smiliar correction made in sisoft sandra... adds about 4-5 c i believe to cpu temps
is this the same thing


and ive been going around all this time thinking im running cooler than i might be.... heeh

[mackerel]

Well... the absolute temps are not so important, as long as you don't smell burning :D

[tripodal]

haha, i agree

Hmmmm.... wonder if some artic silver would help...that 35C load was reported by Sandra 2002. It was pretty toasty in my room too. It drops when it's cooler in my room i think it was at 27C the other day.
