62C-55C

Post by Aggressor Prime »

Well, after moving my computer back into my room, I have been having 55C CPU temps. So there is a 7C difference for clustering 4 PCs in the same room. ccb056's PC is also back in his room. :wink:

Also, I think I now know how my upgrade path is going to be. I plan to get the Athlon XP 2500 Mobile (45W) from NewEgg at Christmas and overclock it to 2.6GHz (13 x 200MHz). If I get faster RAM, I could overclock it further. I also plan to get a new cooler. I just would like your opinion of which one is better.

Thermaltake Heatsink ($58.99)

Thermalright Heatsink ($61.99)

According to ccb056, the Thermalright heatsinks are the best. Which one do you think will keep my CPU cooler. I like the Thermaltake one better myself.

No, it feels the same with the PC. Only, a little louder. :(

Yeah.. When i first put my computer in my room, I punched out a poke hole in the3 capartment under my desk inwhich it was intended to put the computer it.. That solved the sound noise, put my room tempature and cpu tempature where of the charts. Now that I have moved my computer to the top of my desk, I am able the change the external device wires in the back of the computer to the temps. have dropped amazingly
