The free version was till 2.2.For all those higher version,u have to pay.

Any New Update BACCILUS?????

[CA50]

My normal CPU temp is betwn 41C-45C. Is this safe 4 my pc to work in this temp.

My pc normal temp is betwn 41 - 47 C . Is this safe temp?

[Shloeb]

Ya. It is safe until 50. But u should try to keep it as low as possible.

Well; simple...

Fix decent 120mm intake and exhaust fans... 1 intake near the gfx card in the side panel or in the front and 1 exhaust at the rear... 1 intake in the top will also reuce -ve pressure build-up in the cab...

[keith_j_snyder2]

Also check the airflow of the cabinet & tie those loose cables,those are the real pain in butt!

[BULLZI]

thnx .

i ll check it out this weekend.

plz response to my query posted in "wht u purchased" thread.

i m planning to buy an antec super lanboy cabinet.
is this a good choice??

ny idea abt the price??in kolkata??

[kooabs03]

check the chieftec cabinets as well. very good VFM

Any New Update BACCILUS?????

Hi Keith. Thanks for asking buddy. Well the update.... I gave the card back to the dealer and waited for 11 days for it to return. I finally got a replaced card last night and it has the same problem. It is showing the same temperatures. I checked the serial no of the card and it is a different card. It even has the RPTech sticker on it. Now i am really in trouble. I have no idea what i should do next. These temperatures are with the cabinet open with a table fan nearby....

[BULLZI]

hi guyz.
i am having a weired problem.
when i m playinf farcry,pop warrior within or splinter cell chaos theory,there s no probs.i am playing in 1440*900 resolutions.
bt when i m going to play CS 1.6,MAFIA ,my machine is hanging completely.
i m having to restart the system.
i hv checked all the temperatures.
CPU:-48C
SYSTEM:-41C
GPU:-60C
wht type of prob is this??

[bikdel]

i heard that prescotts have good overclockablity and articles in tom's hardware guide term the celeron as their favourite client.......

i have a 2.26 gig cel presscott core
at load it currently works around 60 deg......
is that okay?

also i wanna overclock it to higher speeds.... upto 2.8 ghz.....

can i achieve it with cooling setup costing around 1.5 k?

hey BULLZI..... u dint mention ur gfx card model but most probably it isnt getting adequate cooling .......
add an intake fan to the case somewhere around the card.......
the bottom part of the back of cpu is a good location but it depends on the case u have

Ok now tell me what is ur room tempreature?

[baccilus]

It must be around 30. Since the outside temperature was 45 degrees last time i checked (on news), room temperature is around 30 degrees. One more thing... I contacted the XFX guys at their website and they told me that the chip is fine till 90 degrees but a little higher than expected. Also asked me not to attemp over clocking in my comp.

[bikdel]

well ur graphics card is getting heated as i told u BULLZI

check if ur gfx card fan is working or not.........
monitor the temperatures of graphics card........
to do so download FORCEWARE UTILITIES FROM NVIDIA website for ur card
here u can see ur card temperature

its a problem of overheating as ur card works bad only when u start graphix intensive applications like games and not when u use general apps....... isnt it?

if u have warranty replace the card.........
if not then get it checked by a technician.......

hello ,
sorry i was taking this problem of mine to the wrong area .
I have a p4 presscot HT proccy 3GHz ,intel d101ggc board, 1gb ddr400 , xfx geforce 8600gt . one fan with psu , one with proccy and one with gpu . .
When idling or running net or something thats not graphics intensive my gpu's temp is around 65C . When gaming ,
the temperature if the cabby is closed rises to a peak of 100C and usually maintains in 90-95C . if i open one side of the cabby its max is 90C and usually is between 80-85C .this occurs while playing nfs carbon and most wanted . during fifa07 temp is between 70-75C and while cabby is closed in POP WW i get 80-85 C . I know these temps arent good for my card...

Sabertoothe suggested that there might be something wrong with the card or the mobo(vga controller shorting) . Unfortunately , all my friends have agp based mobo's and i am unable to test which is the culprit.

Further i am suspecting an improper airflow in the cabby as temp reduced by 10c when i kept one side of the cabby open .

Also , how do i know if the fan with the gpu is spinning at the right speed(its spinning ,i saw but i dunno if at right speed) .nTune says that the fan with the gpu is spinning at 675RPM which is very small compared to my proccy's fan speed.but i am not sure if its the right value as it said that fan speed of proccy is 31 thousand !! also it says speed of aux2 is 18rpm .

now , xfx customer care has replied that the card can run at such temps but its not good on a long run .. how long is long run ?? if its 3yrs , i'll forget abt this problem .

how do i decrease temp . .and do i need to ?
Also i wud like to note that the gfx card is not oc'ed .its running at clock speeds..
thank you..

It seems you are not having any cabinet fans. Try to fit at least one front inlet and one rear exhaust fans, preferably 120mm ones.

[sagargv]

thanks..
ok . i'll try that . but how can it possibly help ? i kept the cabby open and the temp reduced by 10c . so i add a fan and the temp will reduce only by 5c , right ?
anyways , i will surely try that ..

hey ,
and i can fix only one exhaust fan , i dont see any space to put an inlet fan in the front . mind telling me which fan does wat ? do they take in air or do they push out air ?

thanks.

[janitha]

Any fan can act as inlet or outlet. The air will flow in the direction of the arrow marked on it. You can fix it either way. If you fix it in the rear, do it so that it blows air out.
Also clean all the components by removing dust, debris etc. and avoid clutter by arranging the cables, wires etc., thus helping better air flow.

[sagargv]

Thanks .
since i can fit a fan only in the rear , shud it act as inlet for air or outlet .
I've checked the cables and cleaned the cabinet.
Also , i wud like to know how much power it consumes . I feel quite embrassed to ask this . how do i fit it ?

[janitha]

Why don't you read the post?

[sagargv]

oh , sorry i didnt see that . any idea of much power a fan draws ..
thanks.

[janitha]

oh , sorry i didnt see that . any idea of much power a fan draws ..
thanks.

Just now verified the carton of my Vantec Stealth 80mm fan. It shows 1.2 Watts. But their 92mm fan consumes a lower 0.84 Watts.

[BULLZI]

well with my new cabby n psu,no overheating problems rite now.
try installing to fans,one to pull air in n one for sucking hot air out.tht ll definitely serve the purpose

[sagargv]

oh , i thought they draw 100's of watts . so it was bugging me whether my psu will be enough .LoL.
Thanks , i'll put it .
hey ,how do i power the fan ?
