How looks your new girlfriend ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bday_jump.gif" alt="" />

Barta

she can't talk right now she's busy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Do you love her as much as your new computer.
Because with the computer, it looks like love at first sight. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Barta

it's kinda a 2 hours a day kinda love <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Very nice.

I wonder. Do you get messages on startup that say, "System failed due to cpu overclocking." but then it goes ahead and boots up anyhow without a problem?

My computer :

Processor: Intel Centrino 1500
Memory: 512
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce FX Go 5200 64 Mo
Weight 1,8 kg ; thickness 23,8 mm
You know what ? I am in bed with him ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bday_jump.gif" alt="" />

Barta

lol not quite
it boots up soo fast i can't even see the message <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

what i do concern myself with is the cpu temperature the highest i've seen it go in its nice black Xion case with blue leds everywhere <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

is 48degrees Celius
is this bad....at what temperature should i be concerned?

MotherBoard: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 3500+ (will be updated in 8 months)
Memory: 1gb of DDR1 (will be updated in 8 months to 2 Gb)
Hard drive: 2 * maxtor SATA 250 (hehe beat you there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />)(will be updated in 8 months 2 more HD's of 250Gb)
graphics card: Asus Geforce 6600 GT (will be updated in 8 months)

Well for now I am happy but as you can see I am planning a major overhaul to get ready for vista.

btw change my vga cooler with a zalman and chipset fan is replaced by a passive cooling.

perhaps i should put yet another video card in my computer and have dual X2 Geforce 7800 Gt's

:P i can't afford to anyhow <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

You should add a 120mm fan (if your case supports it). Just to have air flowing trough your case. Believe it or not but when I changed my chipsetfan wit a passive cooling element my temp dropped since the air ciculation is good in my case.

2*92mm an 1 120mm fan running at low speeds.

temps mesured with aerogate probes:

chipset: 39° (iddle) 42° (stressed)
MB:31°
VGA: 26° (idle) 32° (stressed)
HD: 29.5°
Inside case (random point): 27°

i have 4 fans with cpu heatsink and my two memory heatsinks along with the famed all time active cooling pipe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> in my computer case.....im just worried that 48 degrees celius is too hot for my cpu and would like to know if this is too hot please help me cause i don't know for sure

well now that i think about it there are 5 fans.....ok 6
1 on the powersupply
1 below the powersupply
1 on the clear see through side panel
1 on the cpu
1 on the graphics card
1 near the buttom front panel

but you see when i got my processor....i accidenlty removed it and clamped it.....im worried that it might burn up now

<-- Jealous...i want a new one too!

If I count all fans

CPU fan: Zalman cu fan
VGA fan: zalman cu vga cooler
2 * 92mm (zalman) fans for HD's and air circulation
1 * 120mm Coolmasters ultra silent air circulation
2 fans in my PSU


How are your fans situated? all my fans exepts the 120 one blow air in the case and the 120mm blows the hot air orut my case.

48° cpu whise is not cold but not dangerously warm either. A cpu will shut off around 65°

My computer:



Also I have 2 more USB 2.0 ports in my keyboards so four is enough.

1.25GHz PowerPC G4
512MB PC3200 SDRAM
32MB ATI Radeon 9200
40GB Ultra ATA hard drive
Combo drive (DVD/CD-RW)
DVI/VGA video output
Built-in ethernet card, soundcard and speaker (although I am using my 4.1 Logitech).

Will make an external USB/Firewire HD and DVD-RW from my internal HD and DVD-RW. The transition felt bizzare at first but now I know I did the right thing. Programs fly despite heavy multi-tasking.

Damn, it's better than mine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />!

That graohic card doesn't happen to be a 64MB graphic card, doesn't it (plzplzplzplzplzplzplzplz)???

Übereil

i found this

site

for the temperature of a cpu

@ Barta -> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

i would love to have a new girlfriend but my old wife (Athlon XP 1800+, 384MB DDR RAM, 120GB HD, 64MB Geforce4 MX440) won't let me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> she leaked a few capacitors just to threaten me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
