I just built a new computer storage unit amd was concerned about my temps. My current temp is 40c is this normal? Should I be concerned?

My current temp is about 37 oC, this is quite normal, I've got a bit of a headache but I'm probably a bit dehydrated. If your temp is 40 then you've got quite a fever. You can compare your temps here. Two more degrees and you may face central nervous system breakdown.

If you are referring to your computer then what temp is this? case? CPU? what CPU? what HSF? what case ventilation? What temps did you have before? what's the ambient temp?

My case is currently running at 35C (24 ambient).. I tolerate up to 41C because my mobo and MBM report much higher temps than offboard temp sensors. Just a wierd thing with my mobo I think.

You dont have anything to worry about.

Hottest I've been is 38.8 deg C...had to take a really painful shot to the ass to bring it down.

Wow thanks guys that's really wonderful. Can somebody give me average cpu temps though. My computer is Dell XPS.

Sigh....

We need more info. What type of CPU? What are your ambient temps? Are you talking about idle temps or load temps? Is this temp reading coming from the BIOS or from a temp monitring app in Windows?

The bottom line is that *just a CPU temp* is an entirely relative number. The number by istself is meaningless because it's so dependent on lots of outside factors.

If your Dell CPU is some sort of P4"C" type of CPU is would be entirely normal to see idle temps ranging from 25°C to 45+°C depending on exactly which CPU it is and the ambient temps. Load temps could easily run from 40-ish°C to 65+°C and fall well within the normal range.

Dells cooling solution isn't designed to keep the CPU and components super-cool, it's designed to keep them within an acceptable range and to be fairly quiet.

BTW I used Sandra max to get temps I had 39c before box but now the temps have gone as high as 42c right after game play.

It no way near too high. Its fine.

I only start to furrow my brow when any temp goes over 55C

Thank you very much.

only 55C? Your weak! when I first started silencing my machine, it was almost always over 60C. No ill effects shown, aside from a serious urge to upgrade my processor and heatsink

Highest I have gotten is 42c and that is with the case about 27c and this was last night and the room temp. were actually higher than 27c - go figure it is hotter than hell right now where I live - 107 & 108f! And I just devolted my case and exhaust panflo's to 5 volts and they are holding at only an increase o 3c!

Lunar sounds like a sweet system what games are you running.

Yeah it's really fast. I am currently playing Raven Shield, Vampire the Masquerade, Unreal 2, Dungeon Siege, Unreal 2003, I want to try Freespace and Half Life 2. I like comp game but I'm really a console gamer. If you have PS2 I highly encourage you to pick up these cheaper PS games : Persona 2, Final Fantasy 7,8, Star Ocean 2 If you can import Shin Megami Tiensen 3, it's in Japanese but they have translated text all over internet:D. If you hate console games oh well. BTW if you like MMORPG's they will soon be bringing over Ragnorok Online to the US. I heard it is great. Let me know what your into and we can give each other game idea's.

What do you all use to measure temp? of the case? CPU etc?
I have been trying to figure out a way to get this info--and dont know where to start/

Start here: SPRC Software links

Motherboard Monitor 5 is probably the best tool listed there. It can tell you alot of information, perhaps too much at first. Just read their directions, and pace yourself

Yes, I agree on MBM5 being one of the best tools. I also like Hmonitor (Hardware Sensors Monitor)

how would these measure temperature, spped of fans etc?
dont all the devices have to compatible with something for the software to figure this out????

maybe they all have to connected to the motherboard? or maybe even have a compatible motherboard that would list such levels?

Great games their Lunar you can feel free to email me if you want - I don't want to plug up this string with my gaming history which is very long. :}

kktk, most (nearly everyone made in the past 5 years) motherboards have onboard sensors that monitor the temperatures of the CPU, and the motherboard. Most can also monitor the RPM's of any fans connected to the fan jacks on the motherboard.

The monitoring software reads this from the onboard sensors
