    Heh, when I move into my own place after Uni it might be a consideration. But a Car and a carpc would probably be my primary concern

    my cpu hits 39c idle and 54 at load...still using stock cooler... gpu i have no idea on the temp i'd guess high but it's got an Arctic cooling silencer3 on it... hey madafwo, if you move to Siberia.. can i come along too? I might be able to get some decent overclocks then!

    Somehow my hard drives haven't gone over 30C today - so I don't know what you are doing to your poor hard disks

    Me neither.. they are doing something for certain..

    The 3800X2 HDD are hitting low 50s due to the job loads of syncronizing with the data server in my lab..

    My Zalman Reserator is struggling slightly to keep my overclocked temps under control, so I've ordered a Swiftech radiator to go on the back of my case to help out. Hopefully I won't need a more powerful pump to cope. I had my baby up to 2.6GHz stable, but the temps were around 55°C full load, which is a little too high for me.

    Cheers,
    Stephen

    I have had a few BSOD's last week and I was wondering why (I am using ASUS T2-AH1). I did not really understand what went wrong and was thinking of mobo errors as the PC had just been repaired by the manufacturer. I did not take readings of the the PC's internal temperature because mine is running in default mode, no overclocking whatsoever.

    So, probably, the hot temperature might have affected it To make things worse, I am moving abroad in a couple of months to a place nearer to the equator where the ambient temperature will surely be higher. I might have to sell mine off and build another one with better cooling.
