lets see your rig - Page 44

Can anyone give me a hand with Speedfan?

I installed Core Temp and noticed that the readings for each core were about 15 degrees higher than what Speedfan was reporting. Someone recommended me to install the latest beta of speedfan, which I did, but now for some reason it doesn't display core-temps at all. I tried looking around in the "configure" option but no luck.

I'm guessing core-temp is a more accurate monitoring program?

I'm a bit hesitant to start the stress-testing as both cores tend to hover around 40 degrees...

I was able to lower the Vcore down to 1.264 but maybe I can get it lower, that should equate to less heat, right?

mine idles at 40c and can get to 62c depending on room temp, as long as you stay below that you should be fine.

Check in the BIOS to see which is right. Sometimes SpeedFan displays readings too low.

Getting there, ive added my PCI cooler, I dunno what color of fans to buy though, Blue or Red. Dont want it to be too blue but i think red may be too bright unless i buy a fan controler .

Personally i like blue but they were out so now i have a red back fan....lol

**ashumann12** · 11-06-2007, 05:40 AM

The red and blue look good together, like neopolitan ice cream!!!

Just finished a partial wire tuck and fired it up. It will be better once I get the rest of my parts in.

Looks awesome. Is that the P180? And what video card is that?
