Astrotoy7 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ok techs... Can you give me a hand !?? use the app of your choice, everest/pc wizard/fanspeed etc to get some numbers on your CPU temp and post here plz. Astro is gathering data. Can you please report in degrees Celsius... here is a easy to use convertor if you need it: Can you also please use the format Ive reported. Between some comp engineer student friends and I - we are gathering 1000+ samples. Any trends identified will help determine the direction of a research paper re thermal management efficacy for end users in daily context. Dual core users: No need to give individual core temps. If all you have are two cores temps, give an average. Definitions: Idle: on, no processes...not even browsing min 10 mins Working: active over 20+ mins gaming, encoding etc PC1: Home theater pc. Measured via xpc tools CPU: Intel Pentium D 2.8 Dual core on windows vista ultimate 32bit Idle: 56C Working 62C context : encoding HDTV to avi ICE propietary heatsink cooler in smallform case. PC2: Kids PC. Everest CPU: AMD Athlon 3200+ on win xp pro 32 bit Idle: 35C Working 45C context: streaming video from server stock cooling in standard tower case PC3: Gaming PC. Everest CPU: AMD Athlon x2 5000+ on windows vista ultimate 32bit Idle: 28C Working 38C context: gaming stock cooling in smallform case PC4: Media Server. Everest CPU: AMD Athlon 3800+ on windows home server beta CTP build 1340 Idle: 32C Working : 43C Context, multidirectional file transfer and media streaming stock cooling in nano-itx tower Thats it for me Thanks in advance !! mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 lolz.... bump - cmon. I know a few of you should be able to get some numbers up for a poor old man like me Free George Lucas beard clippings for the first 10 entries (now theres an incentive!) mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Sun Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 My only PC, using PC Wizard 2007 CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (runs at 1916MHz) Idle: 61.5C Working: 67C with stock cooling (Encoding 707 MB worth of video material from mp4 to avi and doing a full virus scan, 100% CPU load according to PC Wizard, been running for 20 mins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 My PC (EVEREST) CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ running Windows XP Home SP2 Idle: 27ºC Working: 35ºC (encoding movie, playing another movie, photoshopping 250 MB image, firefox with annoying flash thing loaded) Normal fan cooling in standard case (Don't know if EVEREST properly reads the sensors though, those temperatures seem too low, in particular since the Environment sensor on the Radeon card reports 36ºC idle and around 40ºC at (non-game) load.)

stingerhs Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 My PC - using PC Wizard 2007 CPU: AMD AthlonXP 3200+ Barton Core overclocked @ 2600MHz (1.75 V) Idle Temp: 44C Full Load: 49C (encrypting and compressing 400MB of data with WinRAR) Thermaltake Volcano Fan/Heatsink combo for cooling in a mid-tower Note: i have seen this processor heat up just beyond 50C with the same settings after playing CPU intesive games such as Medieval 2: Total War for 6+ hours. however, i was unable to duplicate those results for an unknown reason. Family PC using PC Wizard 2007 CPU: AMD AthlonXP 2600+ Thoroughbred @ stock clock (2133MHz) Idle Temp: 39C Full Load: 43C (same test as above, although considerably longer to complete, hehe) Stock Cooler, also mid-tower case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 My PC - measured using EVEREST Ultimate (trial version) CPU: Intel Pentium 4 660, 3616 MHz on Windows XP Pro SP2 Idle: 39º C Working: 56º C - context : playing SW KotOR II: TSL I'm kind of surprised you didn't ask for the room temperature. I know my system runs 6-9º cooler than what I've posted in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Sun Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Good point there cutmeister...I've noticed that myself as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Thanks to all contributors !! Yes, Cutmeister, I shouldve mentioned that room temp wasnt required as the variance between idle and working assume that room temp will be similar for both situations It is indeed an important factor of course, but the trends being spliced from the sample being generated will be basic variance trends only, and not - at this point - looking at the effect of ambient temp, ventilation etc. It'd be pretty spot on to say that any study design looking at the question of thermal management (in any context) would need to factor in those variables... There are actually a good handful of standardised outcome measures that thermoelectric engineers use to calculate these factors... which is exactly what my friends will eventually need to do Im just helping collate some data mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Sun Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I should maybe buy a fridge to put my comp in...and store some beer in at the same time, multitasking rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
