CPU cooling fan and heatsink.

Manager433 SG

Before = 27 degrees ( CPU temperature )
After = still the same.

I'm using Intel Core2 Quad 4600 and original heatsink/fan that comes with the box. I notice that the temperature is a little too high so I bought Coolmaster Hyper TX-2. After installing and bootup my pc, the temperature still same wor. Shouldnt it suppose to be lower since the TX-2 heatsink made of copper plus alluminium?

Spend so much $$$ to tseng my pc end up no improvements.

Use nitrogen? Mr. Green

Did you apply heatsink grease (thermal grease)?

abao SG

isnt 27 degrees celcius considered very low Rolling Eyes

maurizio13 SG

Ooops.

Misread.

Then what's his problem with changing the fan?

If it's 27 degrees then still change?

I don't understand how can CPU be 27 degrees.

It's too low.

Manager433 SG

I didnt because the new heatsink copper base have a layer of thermal paste.

When I'm playing games like Counter Strike or Brothers In Arms, the temperature for the cpu goes up to 39 degress cel. I want to lower it to around 30. Some of my friends also bought Asus or Coolermaster air cool heatsink and all did record a lower temperature for the cpu. Some drop as much as 10 cel. But mine hor, didnt drop leh. It maintain at 39 thru out. Looks like I kenna con by those hardware reviews Laughing

You want it to drop, get liquid nitrogen. But ar... either it burns you or your motherboard or both. It's not cheap anyway. Laughing

I still prefer air cooling. I'm looking at the Asus Silent Knight air cool heatsink now. Looks very good leh Laughing Btw, which brand of thermal paste good huh? Dow Corning 340 is it good and can it apply on cpu heatsink?

39 degrees celcius under full load is still a very low temperature Rolling Eyes

Still must consider some things.

your computer is in an aircon room or in an non air conditioned room Laughing

Manager433 SG

Hmmmm. But I have seen a cpu under full load temp only around 28 cel. Or maybe those webby reviews con ppl so we will buy their products?

Manager433 SG

Mine is non aircon.

Ask where they do their test. A lot of people do tests in very extreme environments to prove something, that most people in the real world probably have no money for it.

One example is ODEX. They say shows are of good quality, only if you use X inch LCD TV. Laughing

may i ask TS,

how ur fren cpu temperature maintain at 10 degree? or l0 lesser than urs?

by right singapore temp is about 26-34 degree....

even u using cpu in air con room.... ur cpu heat temperature will be min 18degree at non load temperature.

if u using at room temperature it should be 26-30 degree at non load condition.

my cpu temperature maintain at 25 degree at non air cond room
idle temp 25
load temp 30
