That sounds about right, my Phenom II idles at 22-24C.
This must be the new K10 driver for lm-sensors, how did you install it?

Idle vcore is 0.975 both stock and overclocked. My 3.7GHz is a straight multiplier overclock 200x18.5 at 1.425 volt. Cool'n'Quiet and C1E are both enabled, the only difference when overclocked is that CPU max p-state jumps to 3.7GHz/1.425V instead of the stock 3.1GHz/1.325V 800-1900-2400-3100 = sto...

Yeah, I set 1.425V in BIOS, mobo is ASUS M4A78T-E and it’s behaving as designed, no change in power consumption at idle, and a voltage-proportional wattage increase at load. What VCore does CPU-Z report at idle at stock VCore and when over-volted? I’ve never come across an AM2/3 or LGA775 board...

My Phenom II 550BE with Cool'n'Quiet enabled idles at 52 Watts at the wall. When overclocked to 3.7GHz (200x18.5 at 1.425 volt) it still draws 52 watts at idle. What is the reported VCore at idle on stock settings and when over-clocked? Did you manually set the VCore in the BIOS to 1.425V? It sound...

When it runs fanless, a negative pressure case could cause heat from PSU to back INTO the case? Why do they have 2 different output plugs labeled MB? They should color-code plugs and cables so you know what goes where. Also the cables don’t look interchangeable with the older M12 series, so I feel...

I’d return it.

You can also buy steel or alum sheet metal with various size perforations and easily make your own. There is even a size that can be made into mobo tray with perforations that match atx standoffs. That almost sounds like a supplier of standard ATX case parts. Do you have a link? No, nothing to do w...

I think Speedfan has been broken for a while. If I use "software controlled" and then back to "smart guardian", fans stop completely and BIOS (or any other utility) cannot detect them. Happens on both my machines, and only a reboot will get fans working again. Also, it does not detect my AHCI disks,...

Rebellious -- There's no need for such an experiment, it's already well known that direct conduction -- via heatpipes and other methods -- between CPU and aluminum case panels can be used for effective cooling. There have been cases going back almost to the very start of SPCR that use such technolo...

The superior test results could be due to the aluminum construction, aluminum transfers heat many times faster than steel. No way. Aluminum has nothing to do with cooling in a case unless the hot parts have direct conduction paths to the aluminum. With only air to transfer the heat, I assure you th...

A friend of mine built one of those, the B10 is a handsome case but has many weaknesses: The bottom 14cm fan is somewhat wasted because it misses the mobo, and if you put case on the floor it's gonna suck dust & dirt like a vacuum cleaner. The 12cm fan in the middle is in good position but it robs y...
