temps

[Kassela]

What kind of temp. ranges should I be getting for the individual parts.... (see rig info below) and what kind of frame rates should I be getting in CoD4 assuming everything is on high @ 1280 x 1240

Well what are your temps? You can use HWmonitor to monitor your temps, and it will show the highest recorded temp too. CPUID

These are my current temps on idle (or minimal basic internet browsing etc.)



Im curious if these temps are okay....And could someone tell me how to change the fan settings in the BIOS so when the temps are low the fans slow down and when things heat up the fans speed up? (Could a Screen Shot and some numbers for the temps be given also?)

Thx

The idle temperatures are less of a concern than the load temperatures. I normally go by a max of 65°C under full load. The GPU isn't as much of a concern as they can get extremely hot (read: 90°C+) without damaging them. (If it does get that hot, I would strongly recommend turning up the fan speed, or cleaning out some dust). How the change the fan speed is different from motherboard to motherboard. A minute or two on Google, and this is where the fan settings should be. At the main menu, there is something called PC Health Status. It should be somewhere in there.

And on another note, that 12v is extremely low. Software is never very accurate, but you may want to get yourself a cheap multimeter (or borrow one from a buddy) just to be sure that it is in spec.

The software is most likely just reading it wrong. [Example] Everest reads my vcore @ 1.06v when it's set to 1.35000v in BIOS...

Yeah... i rarely pay attention to the 12v through SW... they all read mine low, but multi-meter says otherwise.

Seeing as his computer is running, I highly doubt it's really that low. But if he can get a cheap multimeter, or borrow one from a buddy, he might as well check just to be sure.

I got mine ~ 2 years ago at Crappy Tire.. it's digital.. $10...works great. People go out and buy this expensive testing equipment(ie.Fluke), which is fine for a HW tester, PC repairman, or extreme overclocker(doing volt-mods)..but a cheap meter is fine the majority of the time.
