New PC is great!

WOW, this new AMD FX 939 pin processor along with the new ASUS motherboard really cook! Can't wait to get the new NVidia 6800 graphic card. 2 GIGS of SDram help out allot.

oh lol 2 gigs of sdram amd fx 939 ^^ so kewl =P

 

Would an extra Gig make a difference? I've got the 754 pin Athlon64, but I think the heat sink doesn't make good contact... I can't imagine anybody using these new processors as servers, they get too hot under normal conditions!

 

Yeah, my firends' computers with the new AMD processors heat the house

 

Mine runs at about 90 degrees F most of the time with 2 -120 MM fans on. It only draws 1.25 volts of electricity at 2500 MHZ

 

How much is that in C? Mine starts at about 30 C and goes up to 75 under load, with the case open, three fans circulating air (ambient 28 C), and without overclocking. At which point the alarm goes off and I have to shut down. That's why I think the installation is faulty - AMD's cooler should be sufficient, and it's quite cool when I touch it. But still the alarm goes off. Maybe I should take it back.

 

32 degrees C is 90 degrees F.

You have a problem and should take it back as soon as possible.

 

I'm planning to, the temperature readings are too erratic to be normal. There hasn't been any stuttering or any other cause for concern except the readings, though.

 

Could you just build a cheap PC by just having a mainboard, some memory, a cd player and a knoppix CD in it?

 

LOL that would be kewl.

 

I guess I also need a videocard, but i could just get one of those mainboards that have a cheap soundcard and videocard build in.

 

=_ and a processor screen and keyboard

probly don't need a fan, but a box would be suggested LOL

 

And that is what you would have, a cheap, very cheap PC. I'd rather have something that will play the latest games and give great graphic quality for under 2000.00 and that is what I built.

 

man, i have a xp2200 clocked up by about 300mhz running at 25C with my setup:

cpu - 7000rpm fan
intake - 2x 60mm, 1x 80mm
exhaust - 2x 80mm, 1x 90mm

 

hmmm, confusing

, do i need to write in CAPS.

random crap: I have a fan that, when on full power can levitate, unforthently its not excatly low noise

 

i would go with ATIs X800 series vid cards instead of nvidias...ive been an nvidia fan for a long time, but ATI seems to have outdone them this time....check out this beast...

I found out that the motherboard reports the cpu temps differently after almost every second boot. If it starts out at 60 C, I just reboot and voila! 38 C! I'm going to see if the new bios fixes this... really not in the mood to take the whole thing apart now.
