Hi,

I have an Aero M40 case, which has a LCD temp readout on the front. Which is showing 45 - 47 degrees C while playing GW2.

This is about 10 - 12 degrees higher than ambient room temp.

Is this normal temps for computer? Never had a case with a temp readout before?
 
That's pretty much normal... If you're running stock cooling
 
Running stock cooling - power supply and a 120mm fan pulling air into case, 4x 80mm fans pulling air out - standard CPU cooler with GRX550Ti graphics ...
 
elf, is that your cpu or mobo temperature?

If cpu temp, it's normal.

If mobo, you might want to have more air intake.
 
Hey,

Fairly new to the forum and i thought i might ask a question that's been bothering me. I've recently bought a Twin Frozr 7950 and have noticed the idle temp average around 50C. Can this be normal?

Can it be the airflow in the case that's not doing what is suppose to do? Currently i'm running a negative pressure setup and i think this might be part of the problem but would just like to hear some of your opinions on the matter.

thats normal for a graphic card , my friend has a twinfrozr 580 and it goes up in the 80c
 
Will get that and see, now that you mention it, the censor is close to the GPU ... , does this work on 64-bit WIN7?
 
Below is a HWINFO report, hopefully the relevant section ...

CPU seems to be running a bit hot, wonder if turning the 2x 80mm fans around so instead of pulling air out of the case adjacent to the CPU they pull air into the case, if that might help.

Elf , take a screenshot and upload the hwinfo, it will make it easier to see where the higher temps are coming from.

If the machine is idle, it would mainly be cpu or gpu related, and if the airflow is poor in the case multiple hardrives can quickly up temps.

That is good temps, mine now runs in the 40's within windows, was in the 60's this morning in bios setup within the hardware monitor but after blowing out the dust especially on the stock CPU cooler test showed a major improvement but was still at the 50's mark. On further closer inspection I found the heat sink compound very dry so a quick clean and renew brought the temps down to the low 30's.

My computer froze or crashed randomly a few times for no particular reason the last few days so after the above exercise I had no crashes at all. :D

Here is my results... Tried getting my graphics card to a lower temp but unfortunately it didn't work.

My experience with stock AMD cards is that they generally like to run hot under the collar, more so than nvidia.
My 6990 under load used to hit 90, 45-50 idle.
 
Pfft, you noobies with 50°C idle temps, I dont go over 47°C with a HD7970 overclocked on hot summer days (just ignore that I'm water cooling :p)

As to the OP, temps look ok if I remember the order of the temps. Put up a screenshot like the others if you want to be 100% certain

Much the same as the other screen shots posted, here, except my CPU cores are running 68 - 72 degrees C.

Will post screen shot this evening, but must find my tube of thermal paste. Cleaning the old paste off, and putting new paste on, might help somewhat.

Thanks

Latest temps: Ambient not to hot today.

CPU 31 :D
MB 30 :D
SB 38 :mad:
NB 49 :mad:

So it seems the heat compound on the NB and SB are also gone and need to be redone.

Not sure what you have but maybe getting a good quality may help even a bit more.
