CPU / System Temperature in Antec Fusion

digitalfm · 2008-04-21, 14:21

Hi, I have just completed a new HTPC using an antec fusion case and passive coolled Scythe mini ninja CPU heatsink. I changed the two case fans to Noctua 800rpm silent fans and the system is completely silent. Perfect!!!

My processor is an AMD Brisbane core 5200+ dual core. It works at 65w.

Running AMD Cool & quiet the system temps are :

Idle:
CPU : 28 degrees
System : 35 Degress

Average load:
CPU : 35 degrees
System : 37 Degress

High load (decoding 1080p Bluray disk in Media Theatre):
CPU : 51 degrees
System : 40 Degress

The 'High load' temps are about as much as my system will ever need to do. I do have a passively cooled Gigabyte 8600gts graphics card which does get hot which I suppose doesn't help temps.

My question is, do the temps above look ok for a long term stable system? I know the lower the better but are my highload temps ok? I have had Media Theatre lock up once at the end of a film, but Windows was still responding so don't think it was heat that crashed the system, just Media Theatre playing up.

Thanks

Hi what temp does your GPU get to? What motherboard have you used? Can you run speedfan on it? Could you check it? Speedfan can throttle your case fans up and down depending on your gfx and cpu temps. This is what I am trying to achieve. I am looking for an MB that speedfan works on, that I can fit a passively cooled gfx card to and is MATX for my antec nsk2400, as per this thread. Those temps sound fine to me by the way. My old P4 socket 478 (I think) used to run up to 70 degrees under load, and is still going. I know this is comparing apples with oranges, but 51 degrees is not that hot for a CPU.
