Monitoring New System Temp

[mwvirk]

Hello friends,

Here is my new system specs:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 G0 SLACR (Stock fan)
Mobo: Asus P5Q (P45 chipset)
RAM: Transcend 4GB (2GB x 2 GB)
GPU: XFX 8800GT 512MB (stock fan)
Case: ThermalTake Armor (normal cooling system with casing - no additional fan)PSU: ToughtPower 750Watt
HD 1: Seagate 200GB IDE ATA (Bootable)
HD 2: Seagate 250GB Sata
HD 3:Maxtor 1TB Sata
DVD-Rom: LG DVD-RAM
Audio: PCI Creative Audigy 2 7.1
OS: Windows XP Professional 32bit

And here I need your help after running these tests:

I switch on my computer with
weather temp approx. 48*C
and
room temp was approx. 30*C

windows xp came up and asus temp monitoring tool started automatically (tool came in p5q mobo box)

and I got following temp on startup:

CPU 42
Mobo 30

Monitored temp for 30 min idle (did not even touch mouse/keyboard) and noticed that
Cpu (very slowly increased) reached to 44*C and stopped there (no increase in temp)
Mobo reached (very fast) to 42*C and stopped there (that mean it max)

No change in above temp for 30 min

Then I put 100% load on cpu for 25 min and got following temp:
Cpu 57 or 58 and stopped here (not going to 56 or 59)
Mobo 44 and stopped here (no change here)

Ran above 100% load for 25 and there was no change in above temp.

Then stopped load and put system idle again and monitored for 15 min
Cpu reached 45 & stopped here
Mobo reached 43 and stopped here

Monitored above temp for 15 min and there was no change.

Friends need your help… is it ok and still I need to bring temp more down (but how)

Thanks alot

First ditch the stock cooler and get a good aftermarket cooler like the Xigamatek S1283. Be sure to also buy the screw in bracket for it because it comes with another push in type bracket. Next get some thermal compound like AS5 or OCZ Freeze.

Second check the ventilation in your case. You should have at least one fan in the back blowing air out and one in the front sucking cool air in. A better fan in the back may help also.
