I've always wanted to put together my own computer, it finally has happened, and it's been running great for the last 2 weeks.
What do you guys think of this setup:
Thermaltake Armor Full Tower
Thermaltake Purepower TWV-500 power Supply
Asus Crosshair Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600
Thermaltake Blue Orb II
OCZ 2Gb PC6400 DDR2 XTC Revision 2 Edition
150GB Western Digital Raptor SATA-150 10,000RPM
Sound Blaster Audigy (already had it)
BFG Tech GeForce 7600 GT OC (already had it)
Samsung SH-R522C 52X32X52 ( already had it)
These are the temperature read out that I've been having, let me know if these numbers look good or my case is running to hot.
The temperature were monitor with the software that came with the Crosshair motherboard, I'm not sure if these are accurate numbers or not, this is why I need feedback
CPU with stock fan- 38C, operating at 3600RPM
CPU with Blue Orb- 35C, operating at 1800RPM
Motherboard 37C
Sensor 1: bottom of the case 28C
Sensor 2: video card 40C
Sensor 3: top of the 28C
After playing around with the fans, for the best cooling method, this is what I've come up with:
CPU with Blue Orb- 32C, operating at 1800RPM
Motherboard 31C
Sensor 1: bottom of the case 24C
Sensor 2: video card 35C
Sensor 3: top of the 25C
These numbers were all taken at idle, I don't have any software to monitor the temperatures when I'm playing FEAR, which I believe it does use a lot of resources.
I would really appreciate any feedback, comments, suggestions, or any software recommendations to monitor temperatures.
Thanks everyone
