My temps after new heatsink!

[Trifid]

I just installed a new heatsink, that is really underrated so I felt as though I should give it a 'thumbs up.' The heatsink is a akasa ak859 (http://www.akasa.co.uk/spec/coolers/spec_ak_859.htm)

The cpu is at 1836mhz, from a amd 64 3000, socket 939 my temps with stock where 52*C on load.

This is my idle temperature:

And this is my load temp, I don't know why itunes makes it go like that, but it is the same temperature in counter strike source.

Edit: forgot to mension the price, £20

Impressive difference there. How much in USD is £20?

 

[Trifid]

$40, but it is cheaper buying things in america.

Wow, those are some nice temps, you should overclock now!!

 

[Trifid]

I'm not much of an overclocker, mainly as my friend blew his pc up, and counter strike source doesn't load when I overclock it.


12*C now

Edit: I found this on my pc, to show what it was at before:

The reason CS won't load is probably because as you OC - you need to up the voltage, look into that. You have a great start going there.

12 C? How is that possible?

 

[phosho510]

nice, did you change it to 12c on paint? or is it really 12c?
lol

12??? You can't get cooler than room temperature if that's air cooling. Are you in a very cold room? lol.

You should also note that the Abit AV8 boards have temperature reading problems, and they have yet to be even recognized by Abit support.
