Processors - To fan, or not to fan

[BaldEagl]

Bino those temps are on the hot side. That is a little warm for a cpu under load.

60C under full load's not bad.  The chips are rated well above that.

LOL  Denholm. your topic will continue. Skuzzy won't delete. When I think back on the computers I have built, and mother board rejects the fan, all I can think is good luck sir. I subcommed to the fact that everything is made in china. There are no two parts alike, and even microsoft will admit that they have no clue. By the way, Skuzzy does not get along with the people at microsoft.

It's a PresHOTT, not a Allendale/Conroe or something newer.  Those are actually really good for a OC'd Prescot.

I have an ASUS Silent Knight II and an E8400.    I'm glad I didn't get a Zalman.

Athough chips are rated above 60 deg still a bit warm. Imagine 15 deg cooler. It wouldn't hurt cpu to run cooler.

Really?  I have many good friends at Microsoft who I have worked with over the years.  There have been more than a few occasions I spent time with Bill Gates as well.  I do not call him a friend though.  Just a business acquaintance.

I would suggest stop making commentary about me or who my friends might or might not be, as you really have no idea what you would be talking about and it is not germane to this topic.

I agree with this 100%.   But, I still thank you for our talks when I was buying everything for my current PC.   I regret NOT doing the same in 2006.   I hope I can make the next Con and meet you Roy.

I will take personal responsibilty skuzzy. I appolligise. Me and denholm go way back, and to use you as the middle man is wrong. I promise to stop making irrational statements on this sounding board.

LOL?

No lol it's a 16" fan rotating at 300 rpm. It gives a whopping 250cfm airflow with 12db noise.

Ripley, thanks for posting that image of your case!  Food for thought, as I ponder building my next computer.
