Posting IDLE temps just for fun !

pokerapar88

Well, there are many people that have extreme cooling systems, and there are also many who just have stock cooling, but always, or at least most of the time they talk about their max temps when OC'ing and at max load when stress testing.
I thought that we could all post our IDLE temps and compare.
Requisites:
Tell if it's summer, winter, autumn or spring and outside case temps.
If you have any aftermarket cooling, OC or anything out of the ordinary, you should tell us too.
That's it ! I'll start with my temps.

Mine:

Winter, outside temps: 17.6ºC, inside my room, temp is 21ºC.
No aftermarket cooling, just Sentey ARVINA case with 6 led fans. 2x80mm blowing on the video card, 1x140mm blowing cold air inside case, 3x120mm taking out hot air.
Some OC on CPU 3.48Ghz and on video card 940/1150@1.174v

14c outside
21.6c inside

cpu @ 3.6ghz, gpu at stock atm
cpu cooler is hyper 212 with only one 120mm fan
case is haf 912 with 200mm top, 120mm side/rear/front fans

~23C inside, winter or summer, doesn't matter. Idle temperature 41C-44C depending on core. Could be better, I know... *dreams of water cooling*

i7 920 @ 3.2GHz, HT off, Speedstep on, Scythe Mugen 2, Tuniq TX-2, fan @ <500rpm. Case fans at 400-800RPM.

Cool, nice temps. My GPU is a bit warmer hehehe though it's overclocked 24/7.
Your CPU is running quite hotter than mine though.
I wanted to buy HAF992 case but as there was no stock and I had to wait around 2 weeks (WTF?) I bought this case: http://www.sentey.com/en_productos_d...gs-6400-arvina it's not the best case at all, but it really does the job and it's quite big to play around with components.

wow, with that CPU cooler and thermal paste it's running a bit hot for IDLE, don't you think?

Considering how low-RPM my fans are, it's acceptable. When you see reviews of CPU coolers and thermal pastes, they usually test at much higher RPM. My CPU fan is operating at 5V at idle...

think that sensor is reading the cpu temp wrong unless your ambient room temp is 14c or lower

my top card stays nice and toasty

the load temps are where its at really.
EDIT damn was at 6.1% load when I took that pic
Look at the minimum on real temp for my true idle temps

PhazeDelta1 · 09-17-2011, 17:25 | posts: 9,321 | Location: 90° N

heres mine. i have 2 new 120mm 1850rpm scythe gentle typhoons on my megahelm and these bad boys can move some air.

---TK--- · *Last edited by ---TK---; 09-17-2011 at 17:41.*

you sure that reading is correct? I thought it was impossible to cool a cpu lower than ambient room temp on air. I also have a megahalems rev b with 2 scythe 1900rpms in a push pull too. correct me if I am wrong, maybe its an amd thing. the other guy has amd chip and hes at 14c

Here is late summer, but today is rainy and 11c. Apartment stays warm though, not entirely sure of temp inside but its probably around 20-22c

2600K clocked at 4.5 at stock voltage using a coolit freezone w/ 120mm fan mod and an antec smart fan in a poor man's push/pull. GPU is 6870 running at 950/1150 with 1.25v with an Accelero Twin Turbo pro. Motherboard temp is a bit warmer because I only have 4 fans in my case (keep noise low - 120mm, 2x92mm on the gpu cooler, PSU fan and Antec Smart fan.. leave the side panel open for air flow)

your right. the amd temp that other person is showing is the actual sensor in the cpu itself, which we all know on the amd processor is bugged. aida64 is reading it wrong. but yea, unless he found a way to bend the laws of physics, its impossible on air to cool that cpu lower than ambient temps.

but if you look at my ss, the temp you go by is the CPU that is under the Fintek F71889F. thats what temp my bios displays for this board and its about as accurate as you can get with this processor. maybe its 4-5c higher than what it actually is displaying, but its close enough.

oh ok I was looking at the wrong reading on your ss. 30c is your idle then

PhazeDelta1 · 09-17-2011, 18:08 | posts: 9,321 | Location: 90° N

yea roughly. 30c is the lowest its gotten today because ive got the windows open. i normally sit around 35-37c when idle

H60 push/pull

PhazeDelta1 · 09-17-2011, 18:35 | posts: 9,321 | Location: 90° N

damn, those are some nice temps.

lehtv · 09-17-2011, 19:16 | posts: 3,087

Very nice with the H60. But what the #!£% is that 4400RPM fan?

Mike V · 09-17-2011, 19:22 | posts: 265 | Location: Belgium

The pump

TheHunter · 09-17-2011, 19:49 | posts: 13,439 | Location: √╥²

still summer here too..

Usually its mobo 26-30C and main cpu temp 24-27C (or 35-39per core). OC in spec.

Nope, it's not below 14 and it's not wrong. I have tested with different software and beched ant temps go up high when using prime95 or frybench or stuff like that. I can reach around 60ºC or so at full load after 10 or 15 min. Who told you that the lowest temperature you can get is the room temperature?
1) the air that is sucked into the cpu is colder as it comes from the lowest part of the case, near the floor which is colder.
2) if the heat produced is lower than the amount of heat dissipated then the temperature will drop, no matter what the air temp is.

^^^^use hwinfo64 and post a screenie at idle then I will believe you
