Whose computer is running the hottest?

[sumofatguy]

hmmm 192F... that means absolutely nothing to me... i need *C. i it looks hot cause of the little flame beside it though

 

[cyks]

For all the undergrads:

C = F - 32 * .57

I will just put it in my sig so peeps will stop crying

you just googled that, didn't you.

 

[pigpen]

C = F - 32 * .57

100=(212-32)*.57?

undergrads? just because here in canada we use the RIGHT system and dont even learn your gayass one...

 

[WarlordOne]

American, Canadian or what not °C is pretty universal for hardware temps.

Over sized sig

 

[geckoman]

All this crying about C vs F ... jeeeez. I have my monitors reporting to me in F, because C means nothing to me. I don't know if 100 C is hot or room temp... I'm in America, where we use Farenheit.

the general american public uses F. but engineers, doctors, enthusiasts uses C or metrics. i guess we americans are special

 

[Susquehannock]

261F? ... what do you do gecko, fry eggs on that thing?

Fahrenheit vs. Celsius, blah! ... why don't we start using Rankine & Kelvin?
My CPU is running 318K or 572R, take your pick

do people still use rankine? i use kelvin daily though for school.

On topic: That's 88 degrees Celcius.

Do you have the heatsink seated properly? That can't be good.

 

[linjy2]

didnt know about the sig, but yeah...in his other thread he had the thermal probe squashed inbetween the heatsink and ihs.

 

[haste]

my friends ati x800xl was hitting 106-110c(222-230f) while he played BF2...lets just say i used half a container of canned air and now it only hits 70-74c(158-165f) while he is playing

I dont know if speedfan is all that accurate. It was definatley accurate on my waffle iron (Celery-on 600Mhz toshiba laptop). That damn thing probably made me sterile from its high temps. On some computers, the temps are off the wall, and on some its right where it should be.

On my pc right now I have:

temp1 77F
temp2 97F
temp3 158F
temp4 34F

id say its about 80ish inside my cabinent, the computer is in there with the doors shut and no air blowing through the cabinent (quite toasty in there). 2 temps listed there are inaccurate for sure.

actually, in america, as in the rest of the world, we use celcius for hardware temperatures. The only place farenheit is still used is in general weather and cooking. Period.

 

[JDAdams]

You know, Google has a built-in unit convertor - just Google "261f in c"

damn, thats a helluva lot easier.

thanks JDAdams!

 

[cyks]

C Vs. F: go~!! spare no flame (pun?)!!!

 

[Borgschulze]

Celcius makes more sense, water freezes at anything below 0c.

 

[iSkylla]

This thread is way offtopic and it is utterly pointles.

and so was that post...


celsius ftw

 

[wee96]

That sure is a helluva lotta wasted heat wattage comin outta that pc

 

[Susquehannock]

Not sure. If my memory serves, Rankine was initally developed for steam engines.
Additionally, Rankine is the Fahrenheit equivalent of Kelvin, both of which start at absolute Zero.
So good chance those who used it changed over to Kelvin along with Celsius.

 

[Ashaman42]

Actually not always, neat trick, cool a bottle of sparkling water to about -4c. It will stay liquid, open the bottle and it'll freeze in front of you...

/off topic

Errr, my computer is at 52c, is that hot for an AMD XP2500?

 

[Susquehannock]

>>>>>>

Is that idle or full load? Even if full load that is a bit hot for a non-overclocked 2500+.

It will stay liquid, open the bottle and it'll freeze in front of you...

Works with beer too.

That's at full load, but then I'm always at full folding for team 33.
I'm running the thermal pad that came on the heatsink, that may be going bad, temps have been higher the past six months or so.

Of course this is assuming that speedfan is telling me the truth.

That's not too awfully bad if running the stock heatsink with thermal pad. I know folding can
really bring up the temps. You could probably drop that by 10C with a Thermalright SI-97A,
a good 92mm fan, and premium paste like Shin Etsu.

Rising temps? Have you checked the heatsink for dust lately? Dust can be a great insulator.

 

[Ashaman42]

I'll give it a dust tomorrow.

Still I think I will look at getting a better heatsink, I'm not running the stock one as my cpu was oem but it was the cheapest one I could get,
didn't really know what I was doing back then

 

[WarlordOne]

Always when you're talking about 1atmosphere of pressure...

 

[Ashaman42]

True, pressure makes a difference, but not just that. Having something dissolved in the water can change it's freezing temp. CO2 in this case.

Hell get enough pressure on it and you can turn water solid at some quite high temps too. I would give some numbers but I'm sure you can use google as well as me and it's 2am here so meh.
