A little warm?

Ok, here is the set up:
*****************
XP1800+ 11.5x139 (1598mhz)
Vcore 1.79v
Artic Silver compound
Volcano 7 HSF
Single intake fan
Dual Exhaust fans
Slot Blower

*****************
Temps: 43c @ idle
48c @ load

This seems a little hot to me? My goal is to get up around
1700 Mhz, But not too sure w/ these temps.

Don't worry about it till it gets unstable or over 60C. 48 is really nothing to worry about.

[cableguy69]

Yep, temps look good, I wouldn't worry.

these temps looks ok!


If you want lower it you can add one more fan for the case!

I think I just figured out a problem. The fan on my BRAND NEW VOLCANO 7, was on backwards. pulling air out of the fins, insted of into them.

That could have done some damage!
:eek: :eek:

did ya fix it??

Some heatsink/fan combos are designed to pull air off of the heatsink rather than push it onto it. There was no problem, your temperatures were below average to begin with. I know people with your same proc and temps that are as much as 10C higher. If you flip it and it is warmer then that means it was in the correct position to begin with.

I turned it over and now im down to 40c at idle. Its only been on for 4 days (only), so I hope no damage has occured. I should be on the phone with TT.

what if it gets cooler???
:rolleyes:

go stand behind a floor fan(The ones that blow air around a room) and then stand in front of it, in which positition do you feel cooler, in front or in back?
heheheh
