79?!?!

omg, 79 degrees is really an ok cpu temp for amd?

that is the oddest thing ive heard....


and here i am whining about mine getting up to 60....

well im gonna poop a brick....

and here i was about to tear my case into small parts, and use its back panel and drive bays to make a new one with.....
and all because my processor peaks at about 62 degrees in hard core gameplay....

yup, 62 peak/58 nominal/55 idle

system temp stays way cool, i have a fan blowing right on that part of the board....

not that bad i guess...

i was just about to start building a larger more ventilated case...

one like the old 286's and older ( flatcases rock! )

i was going to run three 6 inch 110 volt ac case fans....

it was going to have a cpu wind tunnel with a copper heatsink....

now i have no need for it...

that's ok, i like my mini tower more anyway.

but i really do want an old flat case...
anyone know anyone in the portland, oregon/vancouver, washington area that still has old 286 flat cases laying around in a pile?
i wouldnt expect to pay more than about 10 bucks for one...
.... but i didnt say i wouldn't

or maybe i could just buy a really large wharehouse box fan, and just save time by building my pc inside of it....

LOL

hmm

Well, i just don't know anymore.

my mainboard shuts off at 65 degrees of proscessor temp, so is that my top temp? is that the temp i should worry about.

it doesnt shut off, cos i have that feature disabled from when it used to run at 68 degrees, back when i had a huge wad of dust clogging my fan and heatsink...

but i have no clue what a safe temp is for my AMD K6-2 450 MHZ processor. i will assume 65 is too high, and 50 is alright...

on second though i will be building my "wind tunnel" PC case...

with one of those fan shaped copper heatsink, with the sink isolated in a tunnel with a 6 inch fan at each end....
LOL

well

even with a feature like that, i dont like intel at all.

every machine i have had to throw away has been an intel...

every machine that i hate, is an intel....

i dont trust intel...

i dont like the way their machines run....

i hate them....

but yes, that is a most impressive feature....

after all, even ford invented some things that changed the industry, but it doesnt mean they made good stuff.

LOL

hmm

well, i cut a hole in the side of my case and put in a fan feeding air to the cpu fan. it isnt as good as i wished for, but it'll do for now. i now have idle50/peak53

alot better i'd say.
