Thermalright 120Extreme Temps

Post by canucks.bradley » Tue Jul 31, 2007 7:17 pm

So I just bought a 120 Extreme, and my temps are
CPU: 45
Sys: 41
Core0: 27
Core1: 28

does the CPU temp look high? any suggestions?

Depends on your CPU but it looks in line with Anandtech's review of it in terms of temperature.

Which CPU do you have ? what's your idle temp ? load temp ? room temperature ? case ventilation ? All those variable will come in play to determine the CPU temprature

Totally different CPU (AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+):
Scythe S-flex E @ 600 RPM:
Idle: 31 °C
Load: 41 °C

Antec P182, should not make much difference with a P180 concerning temperature, almost the same fan setup as yours (top fan blocked off, but no fan in front intake main compartment, instead it is in lower PSU compartment).

I have also got a Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme on my e6600. All of my temps are measured using CoreTemp, which is MUCH more reliable than speedfan. I use TAT to put my processor under stress to get the load temps.
My case is an Antec P180B and I have got all Yate Loon D12SL-12 fans on everything including the Thermalright HS, running at 7V.

Stock speeds:
Idle - 28
Load - 47

Overclocked to 3.2GHz:
Idle - 31
Load - 63
