Hot? Imagine how hot it is over here! Well... We have a saying over here: "Football is 11 against 11 and in the end the Germans win"... Hope we can change history (1974 anyone? :P) The Germans played very well, I think they can beat Spain. Spain, Netherlands, Germany... Sounds like an European Championship :D Rig name: "x6Crunchy" OS: Win 7 x64 MB: Asus M4N98TD EVO CPU: AMD X6 1055T 2.8(1,2v) GPU: 2x Asus GTX560ti Member of: Dutch Power Cows |

CPU reaching 76C (168F) even with the Corsair Hydro H50 Cooler, no a/c, slight breeze. Are you sure, that the heatsink is well fixed on the CPU? AFAIK, this is a water cooling heatsink. And with a Q6600, it should be much colder. Maybe add better case cooling (fans)? Or an other place for the radiator? ![]() |

I had to clock back my AMD 6 core to stock speed until I get my Scythe Mugen 2 cooler. With my Intel Q9550 (which suddenly stopped working) it never got over 58C... Still have warranty so I will have it back in a week or so :) Rig name: "x6Crunchy" OS: Win 7 x64 MB: Asus M4N98TD EVO CPU: AMD X6 1055T 2.8(1,2v) GPU: 2x Asus GTX560ti Member of: Dutch Power Cows |

Welcome to my world. In New Orleans we don't have normal seasons. When the rest of the country is having winter, we have a spring/fall hydrid season. When everyone else has spring and fall we have summer, and when everyone else has summer, we have a season in Hell. |

Welcome to my world. In New Orleans we don't have normal seasons. When the rest of the country is having winter, we have a spring/fall hydrid season. When everyone else has spring and fall we have summer, and when everyone else has summer, we have a season in Hell. Quit your bellyaching .... Now out west we have just two seasons, semi-wet and desert. You all see what it looks like here on January one in Pasadena. That green stuff on the ground for the football game isn't paint. It is live growing grass. Those shirtless spectators aren't freezing, they took them off to try and cool down from the sun. Oh and a years worth of rain is 15"/381mm. Now in the desert season that grass has to be hauled away as a fire danger. Humidity is always below 20% and the furnace runs it up to 110F/44C for weeks on end, lucky when the evening gets below 80F/27C. Just lovely weather. Well, that isn't the entire southern California experience. Those right along the ocean get another season when the rest of the north has spring, they have gloom. Onshore breeze puts a constant cloud over them. And I didn't mention -- knock on wood -- the Fire Season when we get hellish hot devil winds of 50mph/80kph. If all the firebugs are in jail the season will usually pass, but otherwise we end up with a Station Fire, burning 160,577 acres (251 sq mi; 64,983 ha). ![]() |

When everyone else has spring and fall we have summer, and when everyone else has summer, we have a season in Hell. Its all dry heat here in Reno. LOL We have thunderstorms coming, dry one's, and they put a fire watch up for today, tomorrow, thursday, and friday. LOL Thankfully, I only work tomorrow, then off the rest of the week. Thursday my brother in law goes in for a surgery, and then I'm on vacation Friday and Saturday. I hate this time of year, I hate brush season, they always are so darn busy. LOL But, my 2 computers keep chugging along. Thanks to my swamp cooler, it keeps my house around 75F-80F. ![]() |

Neither Serbia had no chance. ;-) But hey I'm with you on this one. If you guys get the trophy, we'll be the "moral winners" as the only team that beat you. BTW 04.30AM here in Belgrade and it's 15.7°C(60F) so I'm freezin' my ass off, but during daytime it's a freaking rainforest. It is so humid and hot you could slice the air and serve it on a plate. ![]() Who the hell is General Failure and why is he reading my harddisk?¿ |

ALways windy in Reno, I remember one spring I got a real bad sunburn laying out in the sunshine...the next day was a snowstorm. Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! ![]() |

Gosh, am I glad that my dutch collegue is about as intrested in football as me. Getting colder here again in the North of England. That does not deter the office A/C from blowing cold air towards my neck... My notebook is sitting on a selection of office oddbits to help it keep cool...

Fourth HEAT WAVEof the year in Philly Town. Actual temp reached 102F (38.8C), Index @ 103F. Shutting down machine until cooler temps. CPU reaching 76C (168F) even with the Corsair Hydro H50 Cooler, no a/c, slight breeze. The system is a stock Q6600 with a stock EVGA GTS250. The H50 is a closed loop cooling system. Normally the system sits about 58C idle and 60-62C when crunching. The GTS250 is normally at 56C idle and 60-65C crunching. The H50 is working nomally. As noted in other posts of this nature, the machine resides in a second floor room that is on the wrong side of the house. This room has no a/c and is cooled with only a ceiling fan (on max) and a window fan. Taking all of this in account when facing ambient temps of 100+ (dry or wet), the cooler is working overtime because EXTREMELY HOT air is being blown across the cooling radiator (push/pull); and the system does not have a chance to cool down. When temps are below 90F, this is not a problem. I keep an eye on the vcard and when it approaches 70, I put is in snooze mode for a while to cool it. Right now at 08:32 its 86, never got below 81 overnite, processor is at 67C (147F) and the vcard at 57C (134F). Temps for today are forecast at 102-103F with the index approching 106. When finances improve, currently unemployed for 15 months, I will be investing in a COOLER MASTER HAF932. Until then, donations will be gladly accepted [sic]. ![]() ![]() I don't buy computers, I build them!! |

Gosh, am I glad that my dutch collegue is about as intrested in football as me. You really mean the temperature is returning to normal for the north of England. Anything over 68F (20C) and not raining is regarded as a heat wave and encourages the locals to wear the minimum of clothing, and think they need cooling with many pints of lager. This is often not a pretty sight. |
