Hot Computer!
 

Anyone know what the ideal tempreture for the cpu is? and a good program for monitoring it? I checked in BIOS and Im around 35 degrees Celsius.

35 Celsius is damn good, and that's all you need to know. :)

Hell Yeah! Thermaltake is my friend

Mine too. :) Mine is at 45 Celsius and I consider that really good compared to my last one CPU fan (60 celsius usually).

yeah, I ran into a good buy on a Thermaltake heatsink, and an even better one on a Thermaltake 480 watt psu, with 2 fans and front bay fan control for $20! I found a discruntled customer at Comp USA and was so pissed he just said, here, you take the damn thing of my hands! I about exploded in my pants!

ah, so you had a joygasm :D

exactly!

I once had a joygasm... I don't recall why though...

sometimes they are just random! could be a disease!

Man, I use a $3 coooler master on my 1.4 GHz Duron and the highest I've seen it at was 41 degrees.

24* C here...on a p4 3.0HTT
but i cheated, its watercooled

Anything running in the 50s is about as warm as it should ever get -- otherwise, you will soon smell smoke. I have my warnings set at 60 C (I overclock) and I have cooked one processor with a cheap fan.

Depends on if you are running and Intel or AMD chip.... Which are you running?

AMD's are ussually good till about 70 celcius.. (thats pretty warm though)
Intel's - if you are using the stock heat sink and fan you should be under 55.. I have yet to see one go more then 60..

Im using an AMD, now that I have returned the Tornado bullshit, for some reason I am experiancing some pretty high temps when overclocked now, about 45 or so. Ill have to keep an eye on this for a little while.

My temps are 21/29 idle, 34/36 load. Of course I live in a college student house so we keep the abient a chilly 18C to keep heating costs down ;) .

Yes, Im in College too in an apartment, though I do not keep the place around 18C, I do always have a cold chill in the room due to the old building and the fact its winter in Chicago, horrible!

32 C/ 90 F on a P4 3.0HTT (no watercooling!)
Id like to thank Intel for not being shitty this time around and maybe the 7 fans in my Xaser III :)
Although I dont know if they are actually doin the job, but i cant complain!
