CPU cooler/temps?
What CPU cooler are you using and what are your temps? I'm using a Vigor gaming 92mm Monsoon II and I've been happy with it for over a year but here lately my temps have been above "my" normal.  I've checked my fan speed and all that, so I'm kinda wondering if it might be going bad. I know how that sounds but mine is a Thermal Electric so it's not just a heatsink and fan combo. Idle 38* Heavy Load 3DMark06 during 1st CPU test 59* When I first got it my temps: Idle 29* Heavy Load 3DMark06 during 1st CPU test 42*  -- 03hdfatboy *fatboy* *3dmark06= 16923* http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=382277 http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/2huxf/ *-[image: http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h6...=1216732549]-*

Idle 38*
Heavy Load 3DMark06 during 1st CPU test 59* 59 degrees is on the warm side, but not enough to worry about. It is well within the operating parameters of the processor. When I first got it my temps: Idle 29* Heavy Load 3DMark06 during 1st CPU test 42* HOWEVER, the fact that is has got higher is most likely caused by dust build-up on the heatsink and fan. Blow them completely clean with a compressed air can and a vacuum cleaner. Also, some heatsink compounds degrade over time. If cleaning doesn't sort it out, consider removing the heatsink assembly, cleaning all the old compound off and replacing it with a smear of the best you can afford. SteveT

SteveT There is no dust I keep my PC's cleaned out on a quarterly schedule. I've also removed my heatsink and replaced my compound about a week ago and temps are about the same. -- 03hdfatboy *fatboy* *3dmark06= 16923* http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=382277 http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/2huxf/ *-[image: http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h6...=1216732549]-*

that's also a nice cooler obviously the full copper construction stacks up the price.... but in all honesty most good HSFs will cool to about the same (give or take a few degrees) it depends on more variables than just the cooler....i.e. ambient temps cable management case fan configuration -- skunksmash E2180 @ 3.2ghz arctic cooler pro 775 4GB gskill HZ @ 1050mhz Asus P5K premium 160GB seagate 7200 coloursit 600w psu PNY 8800GT 512mb

You might clean up and reapply the thermal compound. Your fan usually makes
a noise when it is going bad. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "03hdfatboy" wrote in message ... What CPU cooler are you using and what are your temps?
