To begin with...the
outside temperatures (from the balcony, on the 16th floor; that night.....my wife wasn't home...so I could do this without being beaten up because of the cold!) were @
-22C. With the airconditioning' fan on high and nothing to cover up my case. The freezing air blew straight onto/into my rig.....and froze everything.
At the point were everything reached a nice low temp, I started benching! I had a few issues though....I was not aware that HDD's don't like sub zero temps, so benchmarks could not be ompleted because my rig would crash! Once i figured that out...I insulated my drives and started the benching!
This was my old setup: Asus P5N32-E SLI, Pentium D930 @
4.5GHz cooled with a Zalman CNPS7700Cu, 2Gb PC5400 @ 800MHz, 2x250Gb HDD's, 2x7600GT Fatal1ty's @ 702/851MHz.
Let me see if I have more pics around here somewhere...
It is very hard to see, but I insulated my drives with cardboard! The
254C is really a 'minus' reading!
I'm still looking for some results pics!
