how cool are you?

[jasond]

I mean your system when encoding? ;)

I just set up a 1gig duron and My idle temps is about 37-40 and under heavy encoding I jump up to between 45-47 degrees..

I thought that was sorta high.. hows everyones temps run?




Also on my CCE, I get .411- .476 is that normal for a 1 gig?

your temps are fine
it does max the cpu out

and there is a big thread here for speeds:

thanks for the link :)

Hi jasond,

i just can confirm what xrv1138 said. I have a 1.2GHz Duron with all my Coolers (Power Supply and CPU) running at just 7 Volts (so they run so quiet you nearly can't hear them anymore) and my idle temps ar 50-54 degrees (celsius) and 62-64 degrees when in encoding and there is no problem with the stability of the CPU - never had a single crash with my system. (But to be on the safe side i can go back to let the coolers run with 12 Volts by pressing a switch on my case. - But never needed it so far because i will never ever hear this annoying noise from the coolers anymore.)

When running at 12 Volts, i nearly have the same temps like you.

Greetings,

P.S. Speed really depends on a lot of things just have a look at the thread xrv1138 mentioned. (My CCE RT: 0.955-1.075 with PAL and SimpleResize)

hmmmm great idea gerti67, I dont want our system getting too loud with fans due to the fact its in our family room where we watch tv,etc

I did try it with 2 extra 50mm exhaust fans, only cooled it about 2 degrees cooler..

Ordered another 80mm quiet fan, so that should help along with my current 80mm and my volcano3 HS(only have radio shack compound on it though)

[jasond]

added an extra fan point towards my chip...dropped heat to 35/42 under heavy load

CCE also speeded up to almost 1. :D


would cooling effect it that much? cause i used my same movie with crash recovery to resume :)


pretty good fix for a $5 80mm fan :)

when i first built my athlon 1.1g it used to crash out under load at about 69 deg so i fitted 4 x 120mm delta fans (overkill i know :) )
this pc now runs at about 25deg under max load and is very stable (runs for days on end). the big downside to this is it sounds like a jet taking off :(

[jasond]

you could do like I think I will do.. hot extra fans up to switches.. that way I can turn them on when I "need" them.

I've got my 1GHz T-Bird running reeeeeal cool by installing a rear case fan and I've cut a hole at the top of the right side panel and fitted an 80mm fan that sucks all the hot air out of the top of the case (near power supply & CPU). Under load, the CPU hits about 38 degrees (room temp 20). The CPU cooler is a Globalwin with 7000rpm which drives me nuts, so I drop it down a few volts with a resistor and when I leave the room I short the resistor out with a switch on the front panel.
