i just built a system with a 945 and it idles at 37 with the same cooler as mine ... wtf ? and for the 945 i used the regular white thermal grease and for mine i used the pad maybe reapplication of that crap might solve it.

I used an aftermarket cooler on mine. I never even got the stock cooler out of the box. I also used arctic silver . I also suspect there are hot and cool running CPU's.

I think the water cooling is great as it seems to keep a stable temp

Huh? -- do you think that two P4 Ht 3.4Ghz bought at the same time for example with have a tendency to run at different temps - or do you mean a P4 HT 3.2Ghz and a P4 HT 3.4Ghz will run at different temps?

yes I think it is possible that two CPU's of the same make might run at different temps. I read somewere the other day actually that there are different running voltages for each individual CPU so one P4 3.2 can use more power than anther P4 3.2. This is suppose to be one factor why 1 cpu can overclock better than another even though they are both say P4 3.2. this factor may also influence temps

every chip is different. i looked at the reviews of my 640, and most people were idling at around 40-50c on stock. i got 30-35, so something had to have changed. and that was with paste that came with hs

If I showed you all a picture of my main business computer, you'd all laugh so hard you'd probably fall over, knock your computer down and damage it, then we'd have no one coming around here anymore. It's safer this way.

Wow nice stuff peeps

Here's mine:

Turned the fan in the side off because it pushed too much blue into the case.. And I liked to keep it more like a disco (see last image

).
The over-exposed device in the first image in the top drive bay is a Thermaltake Hardcano 12SE (which is crap btw.. freezes all the time)

geek73 · 04-10-2007, 12:41 PM

We all know blue makes things a couple degrees cooler lol.. Will take some pics. Have to connect my new toy (a vapochill) push this 4200 to 3.4 plus..
