what is your 3500+ temp at at idle? mine is running 45*C idle and 56*C at load with stock heatsink and fan... is this normal?...


also what heatsink are u guys using?

 

[tweaker]

Case airflow & ambient temp?

 

[Scrat]

Mine idles at ~38deg/C and load of ~45deg/C
I've got a standard Mid Tower case and the only fans it has is the one in the P/S, the CPU Fan, and an extra 80mm fan i installed on the back end of the pc case. And i have no other cooling... not even A/C in the room
I also turned off "Smart CPU Fan" in bios... now the CPU fan is always on.

Also, i havent done any overclocking or tweeking.

Case airflow & ambient temp?

4 case fans (1 intake and 3 exhausts)...right now i am thinking that it could be the thermal compound that i used... it was a no name brand and it said

thermal conductivity: 7.5W/m-k
thermal resistance: <0.06*C-in2/W
10% silver

my mobo temp is 38*C

 

[Scrat]

hmm... sounds strange as i'm using the standard heatsink & fan that comes with the CPU, and no therm compound other than the stuff already on the heatsink.
Did you check your BIOS for a "Smart CPU Fan" setting that 'controls' the cpu fan?

 

[Phippsp]

My CPU is water cooled and has Artic Silver 5 on it with 3 case fans. IDles around 28C if set for a long enough time and at full load far as I saw 34C.

38c Idle 43c Load

1 Cpu fan
1 Psu fan
4 Case fans

 

[reciprokal]

awww.... what the hell, that means mine is having some problem...=/

 

[TonyBAMF]

When I overclock 10% It goes up about to about 45c Idle 55c Load

It might not be the best thermal compund around but 38C is also abit high, but you never mentioned the ambient room temperature?

Also, the temps read by your system should be taken with a grain of salt.

download a copy of speedfan.

 

[reciprokal]

i do have speedfan..


btw, the room temp is about 26*C

what is your 3500+ temp at at idle? mine is running 45*C idle and 56*C at load with stock heatsink and fan... is this normal?...

Yeah thats normal. What 3500 do you have?



28-35 idle 40 load ... thats due to change though with summer coming as well as the promise of exotic cooling....

^NewCastle.

 

[kof2000]

mines runs at 22c

 

[Faaj]

ive got a 3800+ and it runs at startup around 57*C

mines always 52 gpu core idle and ambient is always 32 and i have a nice thermaltake typoon fan for my cpu

 

[CBizzle]

Wow... after reading those temps, I'm kinda nervous that something is wrong with mine (3500+). Idle temp is 52C and load gets up to 60C... Im using AS5, and have a Zalman 7700-Cu 120mm CPU fan.... I did put a lot of AS5, how much different would that make?

If you put to much on it definally could have negative effects on your temps. You only suppose to use a thin layor. you might want to try removing what you have on it and reapplying it.
