BF2S Forums Holy crap, my cooling is extraordinary.

but lets make one thing clear again. the CPU temp is NOT 16c with 1.42V vcore! there is something wrong with the CPU temp monitoring. One BIOS version thought my quad idles at 15c.

You have speedstep enabled, at idle your core is only running at 2.2Ghz, that is why the temp gets so low, at that speed it isn't putting out much heat.

And notice how everest is telling you the temp of the cpu is 9 degrees, where realtemp is showing 17 and 21 degrees, and the other is 19 and 23, so obviously your temp sensors are not accurate, and the programs you are using to measure them are inconsistent, so I wouldn't believe anything they tell you.

I haven't seen any E6600 with 1.42vcore to idle at 16c!!! that is just not possbile unless your ambient temps are freezing. not even the best LC cooling in the world can do that and I have seen enough reviews of that Asus cooler to tell you it is not correct temp. I could have posted here my Q6600 G0 idling at 10c but because I know it is bs I didn't.

edit: I had open setup with 3x 12cm fans blowing cold air from my windows over the cpu area and my idle temps with E6750 were over 27c OC'ed.

Then how do you explain that it just slowly drops one degree at a time down to 16°C after I crank all my fans up with an open window?

When I flashed my BIOS to different version, my temps shown were 35c idle, then it suddenly went down to 9c and then climbed to 15c and so on.... my point is don't believe every temp monitoring software you got there, not even BIOS readings.

edit: of course the cpu temp goes down with 100% fan speeds. but if the reading is already false in the beginning, it is still false after cranking up the fan speed you know....

please check ur idle voltage and frequenzy with lastest cpu-z and report back. I doubt it is getting 1.42V like you said if it idles at 20c...

Could you please stop arguing about IDLE TEMPS OF 16°C at an AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF 18°C?
That is THERMODYNAMICALLY IMPOSSIBLE! You can not cool any system below ambient temperature without a heat engine (such as a refrigerator) and simple heatpipe systems are far from that (especially that Asus Arctic Sqaure of yours, lol).

Fact is: Your temperature sensors on the motherboard are screwed up. None of your read temperatures is correct unless an invisible load of dry ice is infront of your intake fan.


With kind regards,

PS: If you try to give any arguments in return to my posts, you fail and should try some serious water cooling. Put your PC straight into your bathtub, as your water probably doesn't conduct electricity, just as your CPU cools below room temperature.

I guess everest lied about my GPU temp, rivatuner reports it as 45°C not 37°C.

Ambient temperature is about 18°C in my room I think.

Dude i'm telling you the last time: download Real temp!!!

On the first screenshot, he's got a realtemp window open, again, showing incorrect values.
I especially like the -2° at Temp3 (speedfan). Should we tell this poor guy that if his _ambient temperature_ drops below a certain point, condensation might well destroy all of his "amazingly cool" hardware? I think... not.

Yes. I don't care about videos of ur temp dropping. Your sensors are giving wrong temps.
16c idle temps with that high vcore is simply not possible. Hell, do you want some screen that shows how I have 14c idle temps with my quad... you get the point... 
You DON'T HAVE THE BEST COOLER IN THE WORLD AND UR CPU DOESN'T RUN COOLER THAN EVEYONE ELSE'S! Just damn temp sensors going crazyy. 
How hard is it to understand. I know many great finnish OC gurus and even they didn't have that good temps with heavy custom watercooling.
I have had like 5 Core 2 CPUs. None of them idled under 27c even with ridiculous airflow from window.

<sighs>

Could we simply agree on the fact that my point is correct and your arguments won't lead anywhere? He's too stubborn to accept experience, maybe he'll just accept physics and reality. And that is: 16°C are well possible, however, not at a higher ambient temperature (regardless of the V_core). And I highly doubt 16°C are possible at even 10°C and again, at this point, I'd fear about condensed air humidity (aka. water).

Ur right, sry Sydney*. Try this then:

or Everest. Core temp was released today.

No matter what program he'll use, they'll all say what his sensors say. And those LIE!

* wtf?

I was apologizing to Sydney. I don't see why his DTS would be broken. Other Q6600s temp readings are fine.

damn 16c with 1.423vcore is not fine.

Then why are my temps so logical and correct until I open up my window, open my case front door and put all fans to maximum?

By doing that my idle temps drop from 35°C to 17°C

...Sensors are just 'failing' at some point?

I refuse to believe my sensors are fubar.

Surely if I opened the case and placed it by the window I would be able to get those temps, right? That's pretty much what is happening since it's pulling ample air into the case and it's located directly under a open window.

If you guys have any definitive tests on whether or not my temp sensors are fucked, let me know and I'll gladly do it.

I mean, right now my window is closed and my fans are on low and I'm idling at 40°C.

I perfectly know the cooling efficiency of that cpu cooler. even thermaltake big typhoon outperforms it. looks like your CPU temp sensor gives about 5-10c too low values.
