Regardless, I’m curious if anyone else has had this happen with their setups and any thoughts/comments. After a lot of reading seems like everyone's temps go up significantly under stress. Applicable system specs:
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
Antec SLK3000B case
3200+ Venice
Scythe Ninja SCNJ-1000 CPU cooler
Artic Silver 5 applied (a bit more than recommended, long story)
ATI Radeon x800XL 256meg video w/VF700ALCU cooler
Seasonic S12-430 PSU
Corsair Valueselect DDR ram – 2 gig (512x2x2)
Yate Loon 120mm orange fans at rear (exhaust) and front (intake) running at 900rpm
Running fanless on CPU cooler!
Not running Cool N Quiet
No tweaks/overclocking done, running stock on all components
Room temp is 27c
Overall I’m pleased with the temps. Would like to see the idle temp a little lower but with the stress temp not changing guess it doesn’t matter. FWIW, the video card runs at 39 constant, cooler fan set to 7 volts. Haven’t tried stressing it yet. Motherboard temp stays at 40.
