I'm running a pent 2 extreame Quad core and Its running at 45C at what temp should I worry about it becoming a slag pit. I'm running a zero therm btf95 fanless cpu cooler. and the bio shows it at 45C running bios waiting on vista to finish installing to check running temp. I have a extra fan I can sneak into the case to blow more air over the cooling fins. but it will take building a brace or trapping it into the wires to hold it correctly. when I'm finished with the installing the 2nd graphic board I'll post some picks and better stat list. Still waiting on the new harddrive tho its on back order so using a older sata drive from like 4 years ago only 7500rpms so its bottle necking my load times.
oh god.. i know the quad cores run HOT when overclocked, enough so to overpower most air cooling, so running it on a fanless cooler sounds kinda crazy. if you're at stock though, it's probably fine.. i'd wait until you can check the load temps and see what those end up being.
well I'm not overclocking... so far its about 45 running windows but the gpus are running at 75 I added a a system fan to blow more air over the cpu cooling fins. I have room in the case for a pci card fan.. might get one of them to help move heat away from the gpu cards but they already have the ace 3 fans on them
Do a load temperature thats more imortant and these qx6700 get hot, on intel tat, they can reach 80C, mine its oced at 3.4, im pushing it to the limits. Of course it doesn' get hot in real scenarious mine idles around 46 I use coretemp and intel tat, download intel tat, and do the stress thing. I idle 40C in bios.
