I'm getting so tired of this!

Pyotr · 10-31-2004, 10:09 PM

As I told everyone who read one of my earlier threads, I'm having some problems with my front lcd display on my case. (thread url: Front panel display (power problem) )
Now, I don't want this problem to be. Thing is, if I want to take it back to store for them to fix it (would be the simplest, but oh no), I'd have to remove all hardware.

The case is from "Colorsit", according to the box in which it came, but searching the internet, I can honestly say they don't exist. I want to get in contact with them nonetheless though.

The case is called (quoted from the box) "ATX-G8015C".

On the other hand, do you not-so-ignorant people think it might harm my computer?

And something related to cooling: At first, my temp (system, cpu and "pwn"(?) were around 27 degrees (C) when not playing. Then the temp raised a bit to 30. Now, system temp is 33, cpu is 37 and "pwn" (someone tell me what this is) is also 37. Is this something I should worry about?

Where do you see "pwn"?

In the motherboard software thingy.

Also, regarding your post in the other thread: It's NOT the PSU. The display's bad when power's off too.

I havn't heard of "PWN"...but I have Heard of "PWM" Temperature is that what you meant???

"PWM" is a circuit on mainboards to convert the voltage level from power supply unit to provide specific voltage to components (ex. Provide CPU with core voltage). We know that CPU could be the hottest component inside a PC system, and we always care about the heat dissipation of it. Actually, the PWM circuit is quite hot too; especially when CPU is at full loading, large current passes through the PWM circuit and was converted to necessary CPU core voltage. Some ABIT boards show "PWM temperature" on BIOS setup page and Windows hardware monitoring tool. This provides users possible hottest temperature inside the PC chassis, and check whether the air conditioning inside the chassis needs to be enhanced or not. When CPU works heavily, the CPU temperature could be around 60 degree C; nevertheless, the PWM temperature may achieve 70 degree C or even higher; depends on the design of thermal convection. The safety limit of the PWM temperature is about 120 degree C, however, we strongly recommend improving the air flow and heat dissipation inside the PC chassis once it rises to 100 degree C.

Doesnt sound all that hard....

Check Amamax

Like I originally thought when you mentioned the LCD problem ... who cares?

Odds are the temp probe isnt that responsive and if you pay attn to your system you should know if you have a problem.

Sounds very low (and most likely that the two temp leads are reversed). Touch it... is it hot?

First thing first: Didn't find it at Amamax. I need the actual maker of the case.

So it's the temp probe that makes the noise? Doesn't sound that likely. :s

It's not that it's hot, but is it usual for temp to get higher like that?

That would have been the maker.

Who said it made noise?

If you read my reply again youll note that i implied that the temp is TOO low.

Pyotr · 11-06-2004, 05:54 PM

Oh, sorry. But didn't find the case either. >_<
Guess I'll have to look again..

I did(n't) say it made noises, but it does. :p Sounds pretty similar to when a hdd is working, actually, but that doesn't make much sense either.

Oh.. maybe I put on too much thermal paste..

They are increidbly hard to find so i udnno what you can do if you even do find them

Well how much did you put on?

Pyotr · 11-07-2004, 11:30 PM

Well not that much at all really.
I wish there were pictures with just the right amount on them so one could compare. >_<
