45,55 oC are not intolerable in INTEL systems anyway!!

they can handle heat MUCH better than AMD chips :)

Even 60oC for INTEL is quite common, I don't know what people get worried about? Obviously the cooler the better but believe me....I've seen a hell of a lot worse;)

Well I can't really explain as you live in a warmer climate than me and are using stock cooling:rolleyes: . However I did notice that your 12v rail in your PSU is running just over 8.5v ? Would this affect OC'g and temperatures?.........anyone?..........:eek: Here's my readout-

NO! In fact it will just make a bloody mess when it liquifies- a mm thick is about just right, and dont go right to the edges of the CPU with it either or it will ooze out onto surround MOBO area which could cause a problem if you are using something such as ARTIC 5 paste.

The main idea of the paste is to take up any microscopic imperfections in the surfaces of both the CPU and HEATSINK, giving a more effective surface area with which to dissipate heat away from your CPU :)

this is high.for my seagate 80GB.max it comes 41-42.
@pushku:I suppose your on windows.there may be some software that comes along with ur hdd or get some software to do a S.M.A.R.T Test for ur hdd.check whether it passes!

The cooler a HDD runs, the longer it can last(as a general rule)
Firstly if you have more than one HDD , then place the System drive in the bottom slot of the rack inside your case as the air is coolest there.:cool:

Secondaly if you have more than one HDD, then placing it anywhere else would cause the heat from the other drives rising and contributing towards the overall temperature of your system drive!;)

Thirdly have you got a HDD fan attached to the underside of you HDD? I have one on each of my drives and it REALLY helps to knock off a few degrees :) Something like this should do it for you LOOK HERE:)

P4 Prescott 2.8GHz@stock cooling with AS5

Idle - 55 degrees @ 2000-3000 CPU Fan RPM
Load - 65-69 degrees @ 4000-5000 CPU Fan RPM ---> Gets freaking noisy! As if you're near a formula one engine at top revs!!

^ Na.. not 7, but... My cabinet has 3, and CPU has 1, PSU has 1 and GPU has 1.. here excluding PSU and GPU, 4 fans will cool my proccy.... and my goodness the +12v rail is around 8.14, this is the main reason i think... And after overclocking the 12v rail remained the same... but my FSB was gone up.
