41c room ambient? I'd say something doesnt look right. That being all the temps.

yea, the few that got away from you southern guys hunting them!
They swam there for protection!:D
Used to know this French guy that hunted them for food. There isn't enough meat on a squirrel to feed a kid let alone an adult.
Well I guess we just killed the OT of this thread!:ROTF:

HMM, just had this urge to pass on coffee today and have TEA instead!
Now where the hell are the teabags?:rolleyes:
I think I'll call Riptide or Haltech and ask if they have any to spare!

Wait... Jose it is 41* Centigrade in your room in october? :explode2:
Well, if thats the case I would say the CPU temp reading is bogus, but I guess it was the PWMIC temp that alerted you with its red color. Dont worry it can handle temps upto 80C, but under heavy load and high Vcore it is wise to point a 12cm fan over the middle of your motherboard where the aluminium heatsinks are around the processor.
Whats more important is the jump in temperatures from idle to load, with good watercooling you have it should be no more than about 6 degrees, and your idle temps should also be no more than about 6 degrees above ambient (you can never go udner ambient with water, jsut to state the obvious).
If you really want to know get a digital thermometer.
Rectal ( to shove it up certain rabble rousers behinds) ? or Oral ?
People , remember my newbiness. Please write recommendations as if for a 6 year old kid, if you have pictures the better.
Yes 102-105 F in October.
Please remember I live in a house with low ceilings (8 feet and a half height) , building material is reinforced concrete and I live at 18 N of latitude. Add to my woes: the lady of the house (my mother) redecorated the house some 20 years ago replacing cool granite/marble terrazzo tiles, with Italian Ceramic Tiles ( where you can basically fry an egg on hot days) So when it gets 93 F outside as it was yesterday , temperature can go up to 108 F inside .
Weird things the tropics at sea level. winter temperatures can hit 90 F.
In my town 75 F is considered getting the sweater out temperature. 70 F is considered a freaking Cold Spell. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
When I am not at home I dont turn on the AC. My electric bill with AC 24/7 can go up 300 USD a month.
Diablo is getting 2 more exhaust fans An I will be getting it HD coolers and one extra fan for the Mobo. Other than that I may have to move to Alaska .
