Greetings,
I need some help with the heat that my new rig is generating.
Here are the hardware specs, followed by the temps that are returned:
Antec SLK2650-BQE case
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Mobo
AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800+ (OC to 2200MHz)
Zalman CNPS9500 LED CPU HSF
EVGA Nvidia 7600GT (OC to 618/835)
Zalman VF7000 CPU cooler
WD 250GB HDD
Generic 2-fan HDD cooler
Antec TruPower 430W PSU
2- 80mm intake fans (front/side)
1-120mm exhaust fan
I used Arctic Silver 5 as the TIC and viewed some pics online to ensure that my application was correct (full coverage with a smooth and thin coating. The CPU cooler is fully seated per the installation instructions.
Readings:
CPU 47C/56C (Idle/Load)
MoBo 40C (negligable variance)
HDD 54C/62C (Idle/Load)
GPU 41C/48C (Idle/Load)
These reading are from a combination of SpeedFan (Awesome utility!) BIOS, NForce display and SIW.
I have given attention to cable management to ensure that there is adequate airlfow.
These temps seem high. What else can I do? The system is stable.
Thanks for your time and valued comments and input.
