AlanHo Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Not sure what you want people to look at - it looks fine to my untrained eye - especially the processor temperatures.The only big difference with my computer is that your graphics card is running much hotter. Mine rarely gets above 40 centigrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Why is the computer called ERIC rather than andsome...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Why is the computer called ERIC rather than andsome......My computer is called Eric, the main hard drive is Zoe, and the second hard drive is Jazmin. I don't really remember why I called the computer Eric, I have always done so. Put it down to being a wee bit weird but gorgeous. Zoe is my oldest granddaughter, and Jazmin the youngest.

-pops- Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 When were the readings taken? The graphics card is somewhat high but if it's just been doing some very hard work, it is most likely acceptable.Might be an idea to take some readings at different times e.g just booted up, after a period of idling, after doing hard work and then compare.The card will soon let you know if it's too hot by giving you all sorts of faulty displays.P.S. I have a computer called Roderick. There is no reason at all for this, it was a name that came to mind when I was setting it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 IMHO at 68C those Graphics card temperatures are way too high. My dedicated 7600GT card runs at a maximum of 45CIs there an actual card fitted ? or are you using on-board graphics ?If it is a proper card with a fan on it, rather than just a passive heatsink - check that the fan is actually spinning ?

I get no problems at all. I just wanted opinions. The computer looks clean inside. Just run SIW again and the temperatures are almost identical.

andsome Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Just phoned the man who built is and asked him what sort of temperature I could expect with this computer. He said 60 to 70 degrees but could run hotter with heavy usage. He confirmed that it is on board.It doesn't get any hotter with normal use and reaches that temperature in minutes when first switched on.
