I have a water cooled XP2400+

These are the temps after being on all night with the case open and a fan blowing in from the side, fan was of for 10 mins before I took screen capture.

Also think my HD's are maybe a little hot, I notice that my raid drives are not all showing as there should be 250gig (120 died). Are these normall temps?

Also is it possible for me to clock this and if so... how?  I'm going to build a new one soon so if it dies whilst clocking its not the end of the world.

Here are my specs,


Any comments would be appreciated, would be good if I could tidy this and have it for FS only but think it would struggle.

What software are you guys using to get these temps? I used Speedfan, but I swear to god the temps must have been wrong, any help?

I use speedfan as well.. it is correct on my system with the exception of the 12v rail. Unfortunately there is no way to apply a voltage offset for the PSU in speedfan so on my system it shows -.5 to -.6 less that the actual.



In speedfan you can apply an offset to the temps and the fan speeds in order to get them to read/display accurate numbers. You should use 2 other programs to verify the fans and temps before setting the offsets.

Speedfan reads my temps and fans correctly without offsets.

OH MY GOD  Your watercooled with those temps?!

Dude you need to get a new case. Look at something of the size of the Thermaltake Soprano  or Lian Li PC60. Also clean up those wires!



Its not the greatest pic in the world, but as you can see there are almost no wires in my case at all. Also if you'll notice I have a 120mm fan in the rear of my case, a 120mm in the front, and a 92mm in the window. All of this keeps my temps looking like this



HDDs are 28C for the first one, and 32C for the second.
Remember thats aircooled

91C or 91F. If its F then thats rathar cool. If its C, then god I hope you like to watch cards melt.

Jesus H Christ privet Pyle. Do you like cooking your hardware? Wow, I think I just died a little inside.

Usually GPUs Idle at around 36C, and max out around 63C.

Anything more, and change up your cooling solution.

Something is not right... if those temps were recorded with the side of the tower off and a fan blowing on it I would start looking at the possibility of a blockage in the radiator, a warped CPU waterblock or an air bubble in the water system.

Even at that, 55-60c on a water cooled system, is outrageous. Your ambient temp will have a significant effect of the entire system. When the ambient reaches the high 70's and low 80's component temps become very difficult to keep down. Being your ambient in the middle of the night is close to 80F and how many drives you have crammed into the tower without good airflow, I can see why the tower is so hot.

I use a 120mm Scythe http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185006 for the rear fan. With the rear fan @ 1600 RPM (full speed) you can hardly tell it is running and it moves ALLOT of air. I do not need it to run that high. It is set via speedfan to run @ 80% when the tower reaches 25c. Below 25c it is set to run @ 50% (800rpm) so my tower is quieter than a water cooled system when idle and runs around 29-32DbA under full load with all fans running.

You do need to get those HDD's seperated so air can get between them and get a larger fan on the rear. A top blowhole fan may not be a bad idea considering your room temp. Go with fans that are rated @ 1200-1600rpm @ 28DbA or less in noise. Use speedfan to control them so they only spool up to high speed when needed. Keep them @ 50-60% when not needed and the airflow should balance out the temps.
