Core Meltdown
-
My old Athlon 900 ran at 57. My P4 2.5 runs at 37 (and is half as loud).
My AMD 2400 runs at 52c. When I get my water-cooling stuff setup, it should come down to around 44c. I currently have to run with the case sides off, and the 6 fans in my system are driving me nuts. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

My current CPU temperature is 74degC. The main Case fan is blowing into the wall with about 1" gap. There is no ventilation in the room short of the crack in the door. Go figure :-)

That's dangerously high. I don't know what CPU you're running, but I know my old AMD 1900 was supposed to shut itself off at 80c. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

As long as you're careful, and do sufficient research, you should be fine. Stay away from waterblocks with lucite or aluminum components (all copper is the absolute best). Leak test the components BEFORE installing them. Use a bit of anti-freeze to inhibit algea growth. Use distilled water. Don't use rubbing alchohol or oil. Keep it simple, and the system will work fine. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends
