I have the clear side panel edition, and was just wondering if you are having any problem with your airflow because the case dosen't have any front air ventalation. If you did, what did you configure it to?
I ran the Prime 95 "touture test" and passed all tests with a high core reading of 64 degrees, although right now my temp is 58 degrees. Not right! Don't you think it has to be my HSF. Going to go out tomorrow and get a Zalman.
On idle my core temp is 34-36 degrees. When I play a game for 1 hr. it registers 58-60. What I don't understand is when I get out of the game and the comp sits for a couple hrs. it will still show 58-60 I don't run anything in background that is not necessary. This is a brand new comp. So far I have left the stock HSF on it. [ not good?] The only way I get the temp down to 34-36 is shut down for 20 min. This isn't right is it? What does this sound like to you?
I just ran the "torture test"in Prime 95 and the core never got above 63, after 12 hrs. and it passed in all the catagorys, so you're right about the temps being ok! The crashes didn't happen in Crysis, only in Vegas6 and Cod4. It sounds like a driver related problem then, but I tried all the newest whql and betas from Nvidia. Aside from all this do you still thing it would be worth it to get a better HSF?
I am running an AMD 64x2 6400 cpu. Am using the stock HSF that came with it, which I know is probably pretty cheap. I am getting a core temp of 36-38c on idle and around 50-55 on full load. My question is, I still get some random crashes in games, thinking it could be a temp problem. Would it be worth it to get a better HSF like a Zalman,etc. Would the extra 5-10 degrees temp drop really make a difference in my games crashing?
