Heat baby yeah!

[[CpK]Bastid]

yup my comp is in one of those kinds of desks.....hawaii is hot right now....i usually get up to 57C after my CS tweak session(usually 3-5 hrs)
no air conditon ,humid, nobreeze coming into room...so i think my temps are safe relative to my settings

 

[Gouk]

The workstation isnt one of those which is closed off at the back though. Considering the location of the PC, I'd also have to say that 57-62c is ok.

 

[Iceman]

I like my baby (my puter) out in the open nothing anywhere close to it, breathe baby breathe.

 

[Gouk]

[Gouk]

what HSF dya have?

 

[Iceman]

Dynatron DC1206BM-L638 - 7000 RPM Fan

Link

We pretty much have the same system Goku, great minds do think alike

 

[Iceman]

Yes it is a liitle loud, but it does what I want it to do.

 

[Iceman]

Who me?

I'm happy with what I got, full load 45C, idle usually less than 40C, I am a firm believer in "if it ain't broke, leave it alone".

 

[Gouk]

Alright!

I am going to switch my fan to 7000RPM iCEMAN.

Meanwhile take a look at the screenshot below for the temp the CPU is at now with 5000RPM then we can draw comparisons.

Oh and the PC's been up for 32 hours non-stop.

Stick around

 

[Iceman]

Goku, my fan top speed is 7000 rpm, but right now it's sitting at 4800rpm and a CPU temp of 45C.

Location is key to everything, and room temp of course.

I'm not competing with you, my friend, just telling you were I'm sitting at for a comparsion. Argueing or competing about who has the best machine is silly, I'm happy with what I have, you should be too !!!!!!!

 

[Iceman]

Catch23, my fan is currently at 4800rpm, the sound is not unbearable, and it's nowhere near as loud 50dBA right now.

Yes I understand your fan makes less noise than mine does, so what's your point?

Huh

I wasnt competing

Oh and the fan isnt going @ 7000RPM on high, its sitting at 6250 but then again I did just turn on the comp.

Oh and catch your right dude, its waaaaaaaaaaaaay to f*kin loud

Back to Medium i suppose.

 

[Iceman]

Goku what's your room temp right now?

 

[Gouk]

28c

Would it be safe to switch the fan to LOW?

 

[Iceman]

Goku, your temp is fine, my room temp right now is around 22C that explains the difference right there.

No I would leave it at medium speed. myself somewhere close to 5000rpm.

 

[Gouk]

Alright, I will go change the setting to Medium and comeback

I did expect more from the High setting though

 

[Iceman]

will it's your room temp that is the biggest factor here, all moving the fan up will do is move the hot air a little faster, it will cool it down somewhat, but not that big of a difference.

 

[Iceman]

also looked up the specs on that Volcana 7 +

High - 6000rpm @ 47 dba

so the noise level pretty much the same between the two.

 

[Gouk]

Beats me where I got the 7000RPM from
