What is your average CPU temp in "Celcius" (NOT CASE TEMP)
If you overclock your system, I'd like to know your default and current CPU speed.
Thanks
Average CPU Temp (Normal Workload)

That is when my pc is just sitting, doing nothing (43 celcius to be exact). I have a P4 2.8 Northwood, oc'ed to 3.55. Temp for stock speed would be around the 39 mark. Cooling is 2 12cm fans (1 intake, 1 exhaust) and a blowhole on the side panel (no fan), on top of the processon.

My new system has a 3.2E Prescot on a DFI 875B LanParty Pro mobo with Kingston PC3200 running in DDR400. I bought an Artic Cooling 4ProL and some Artic Silver 5 compound for the CPU. I use Motherboard Monitor to keep an eye on temps. Average is 52c. I have 2 80mm fans in my tower, but I am needing more it seems. The downfall is the room the PC is set up in stays pretty warm. I know the room is half my problem. I also know the prescot runs hot. I'll add in 2 more fans today and see what happens.
I love the spped though!

36c on a slightly oc'd P4 2.8@3.06Ghz
Ambient temp in the case is 29c.
Both temps are taken from the Thermaltake sensors. Using MotherBoardMonitor (that uses the native mobo hardware sensors) its saying 36c also
During gaming (Doom3, HL2 etc.) it rises to 42c.
Just for the record there are 5 12mm fans (2 intake, 2 exhaust, 1 to circulate) in the case, a coolermaster jet cpu cooler, a zalman VGA cooler + additional fan.
RPMs for the case fans are only 2300. Coolermaster is turned down just enough to stop the jet noise (sry no pun intended lol). Zalman fan runs at full RPM but is almost silent.
Just for the record, this article is informative:

To some of the other guys here - i wouldnt worry too much about temp since if ur box is stable (and cant quite brew a cuppa) then all is well

Hmmm, thats a bummer, maybe I should give speedfan a go.
I've got a Q-Fan option on my motherboard (in the BIOS), its to regulate the fan speed, slower (quieter) when cold and faster when hot (louder), but I dont use it cause I've only got the one fan and it uses a standard 12V power connector not the normal fan one that fits on the MB, so I cant regulate it, it runs full all the time, but its not that load anyway, so I'm not worried about it for now.

Ouch!! LOL ok ive just witnessed a little hottie... and no im not talking about a nekkid lady pic :P
Just had a call to sort out a little PC at work- it has a Prescott 3.20E in it.... 82c!!!!!!! Apparently that is usual of this cpu running at 100% for a little while...
So... im renaming that cpu to 3.2BBQ-E 8)
Lotus... i think u r doing good since we have 15 of these cpus and they all must run over 60c easily- i just checked 5 of them.
Saying that though they are all in very small slimline cases from HP... nasty

Well, its a lot better than the previous setup with 8 fans (4 in the case, processor, 2 on graphics card, power supply), cause now I only have the one 12cm fan, the only downfall is that the wind going through the fins of the radiator is more noisy than the fan itself, well, the fan is pretty quiet. But, I'm happy, da soun don bodder mi
I want to try and get it even cooler by sealing the little space between the fan and the radiator where the two's mounted together so that all the air it sucks in has to go through the radiator fins:)

Hi y'all,
I don't understand something:
I just turned the machine on, still in the BIOS, the case is open and all I have is the standard Intel CPU cooler and fan.
I have P4 3.2Mhz Prescott with the 1MB cache.
P4P800-VM with 2GB Kingston RAM (4x512).
500W PS
2x 80GB SATA.
Just with power on.. still in the BIOS, the temp readings are:
CPU Temperature: 65 Celcious / 149.5 Far
MB Temparature: 36 Celcius / 96.5F
How is it you are all getting lower readings than that?
I mean.. this is on the first 120 seconds of the Power on, still just looking at the BIOS.
With the chasis closed and after 20 minutes, the temps inch up (still in BIOS screen) to
CPU Temperature: 72 Celcious / 161 Far
MB Temparature: 41 Celcius / 105.5F
What am I missing?

Are there any fans in your case to take the air in/out? Also, what graphics card do you have? For example a Radeon 9800 runs VERY hot on stock cooling.
So, combine that with the trapped air in the case having nowhere to go and you have a very hot case. Which in turn does not help the processor cool down. Add a couple of fans (even standard 8cm fans help) and tell us if temps drop.

No trapped air.
That's why I was very surprised to see such high values on power up (and keeps it at constant value) when there is no box issue at all,.. and using the standard Intel CPU fan.
The box that I'm using is a 2U box still with the lead open,. so no air traps yet.

Please provide me with the water cooling solution you have. A link would be helpful.
Since my box is a 2U box, I will have limited height option.
My board is a MicroATX form factor that has 3 PCI slots, Onboard graphics and onboard sournd, and NIC card.
I'm not using the AGP slot, just the onboard VGA port.
I'm not using any PCI slots either.
If a water-cooling option will reduce the temp dramatically,.. and can fit in the box, I would certainly implement it.
If you have a link to the water cooling product.. that would be great. Also, can you tell me how high is the entire 'system' from the board to the highest point in the cooling system? I can't exceed the height limit of the 2U box.
I've arranged for a 80cm fan to push in and a 120 to pull out when I close the box, so there should be circulation of air, but if I can bring the initial temp down by 20 degrees that's a 33% decrease and that's huge!

Hmm, I just recently upgraded to the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe mobo and the 3.2E CPU. I'm using the stock, copper core heatsink/fan and just ran a couple hour stress test with 3D Mark 2001-SE in looping mode.
The max temp so far is 50.5c and I did notice that the thermal CPU fan was speeding up to around 3800~3900 RPM. This is what it should do as the CPU temp rises.
I wonder does either of your machines show the fan speeding up at all or does it stay at the slower speed of about 2500 RPM ?!?
I want to run my box for awhile with the stock cooling and then try again with my Zalman copper bloom and see what the difference is
