really? because I thought we were gaming here.

I have gotten my FPS in TF2 from 47 to 60, thank you very much.

Unless gaming on a gaming machine isn't your "real world user experience" than you are right. Good Job!

and, larz, my processor maintains a 52-degree average whilst gaming (it clocks itself back down when it is idle/ below 10% usage)

ahh my bad
I mine usually stays around 20 Celsius and goes up to about 23 celsius after playing crysis for a couple of hours.

I want to overclock my 8800 gtx and cpu, maybe then ill get decent framerates on crysis =/

I still need to get a bracket for my cooler. It will probably get the temp down to 30-40 degrees celcius.

thats another thing, before i took all my parts out of the broken case, my cpu almost constantly stayed at 20 celsius =/.

It kind of makes me wonder how much better Crysis would have played had I not put these parts in another case.( Of course the heatsink sliding across the cpu when i removed the mobo probably didn't help me cooling)

ok dude my cpu gets to 70+ when i'm really using it
my 8800 gets to 90

at idle my cpu is 62, and my gup is 75

I hope you are talking about Fahrenheit

I hope you are talking about Fahrenheit

LOL yeah


btw how do you monitor the temp on your gpu? :o

EDIT: I just realized how much your quote was wrong and how much i failed at forumz againz! :oops:

[Retribution]

nah thats celsius, but its still well below any problems, i belive these things can get up to 200-230?, my comp is really small, not so good air flow, plus when you max out the proisessor for like 10 hours strait...

ummm... no, actually about 200 degrees Celsius is about when the processor slot's plastic MELTS and the thermal expansion in the processor itself combines with the damage of the melted plastic destroy it. That is if you didn't set up the auto-thermal-shutdown properly.

I dont think I set up any auto-thermal shutdown on mine. I just thought that it would automatically shutdown anyway if it ever got to hot
