HTPC trinn for trinn - del 6

[ajocius]

yes, but that is the whole point, that Mastiff has reached 70 C with water cooling and I only have 40 with silent fan/heatsink. Of course my sistem was not left for 12 hours to run (didn't dear to leave it running while I am at work). Having low tempreture readings makes me worried that system is not reading it correctly.

I have a htpc based on asus p4c800e, a p4 3.0 northwood @ 3.6 and bigwater cooling with the fan at the lowest setting.

 

My load temperatures in a Kanam HT200 case is between Mastiffs and yours, but it seams funny reaching as much as 70 degrees with watercooling, although using the heater of heaters (prescott).

....I am almost certain Mastiffs watercooled system has lower (real life) temps...

Kan vel nevne at min Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu ga samme temperatur som Bigwater-settet med tilført frisk luft og kun en radiator og cpu-blokk alene. Kan egentlig lett forestille meg at om radiator får tilført varm luft fra kabinettet og gpu skal kjøles på samme systemet vil man få høyere temperaturer. Bigwater-settet har ikke imponert meg hverken når det gjelder kjøleeffekt eller støy. Man får det man betaler for; et billig low-end kjølesett som byr på ok effekt og samlet sett støyreduksjon om man kan ta bort cpu _og_ gpu-vifte.

 

Først når jeg koblet inn en ekstra radiator i sløyfen falt temperaturen 4-5 grader sammenlignet med Zalman`en. Og det var fremdeles før gpu-blokka ble satt inn.

So what could be wrong in my system if I only get 40C on CPU?

An efficient cooler

My cooler is CNPS7700CU. And I set it up to run on 1200 rpm only, to reduce the sound. I would understand it to be slightly better than 7000 that you are using since the diameter is bigger, but not by 30C. You say you get the same as with water cooling. As Mastiff indicated he got 70C with water cooling. I have expected to get the same. Anything around 60C above would also be understandable, but it is only 40C....

 

Will try to see tempreture in BIOS tonight and compare it. Will also try to leave StressPrime 2004 running for longer period, will let you know the result.

 

Do you know the answer to my other question:

 

"And last question. I am very happy with 3HD setup each having XP boot. It just slightly anoying to sit by the PC once I decide to restart it, as I need to press F8 at a right time. Would that be possible to have some bat file option to press and PC would know it needs to restart from a different HD??? "

[ajocius]

Started stressprime2004 with two copies as advised. It runs now for 1 hour 50 minutes. Tempreture is still at 40C. What is strange however, that CPU is only 5% loaded. I thought this stressprime is supposed to load CPU 100%...

[ajocius]

There is definitelly some brake in a setup. Has been running stressprime 2004 for 5 hours 45 min and tempreture never exceeded 40C. This is probably why CPU is loaded only around 5 %. As soon as it starts loading more work on CPU and the tempreture rises, some brake works and brings CPU load down. At least I suspect so.

 

Does any one know if this could be the case? Where could I fix it?

[ajocius]

After 13 hours of test the tempreture is still at around 40C. At least it exceeded 40 few times, but total level does not make sense to me. Added the screenshot of all applications opened and showing the values.

You`d better stop bumping this thread, or your warn bar will probably change.

 

I`d start a new thread if i were you. Your problem is really off topic in this one.

[ajocius]

I put it here since hardware and software and settings are following article that is discussed here, isn't it. If other people follow the article and get the same problems, they also might find solution here if I find one...

 

Checked overclocking.no, but nobody is discussing, nobody discuss Stressprime there. Actually it is only discussed in this thread in the all forums of hw.no.

 

Would follow your advice to open thread somewhere else (where?) if I understand the logic of you suggestion m8.

 

Hope my warning bar will not change

Tidligere spørgsmål>....

 

Noen som kan anbefale programmer for tilsvarende finjusteringer av ATI kort?

 

 

Dette blev der aldrig svaret på?

Er der virkelig ikke Noen som kan anbefale programmer for tilsvarende finjusteringer av ATI kort?

Takker for fin artikkelserie. Holder på å sette opp en HTPC for tiden, og har fått mange fine tips.

 

Men på side 2 "Tjenester" står det listet opp en del i services du ville deaktivert.

Og siden du tydlig hater alt som kan slå inn å forstyrre midt i filmen...Hvorfor står ikke "Task scheduler" som en av tingene som bør deaktiviseres?
