I'd like a few estimates, as my current rig is an OEM computer and it has a load temp of 45 degrees C. The load is Prime95 for 15 minutes, I would just like an estimate.google ftw?
Will this bottleneck my PC?

I tried, but there all about different cases with different heatsinks, and the results are quite varied. One person said his processor was overheating, while others say it idles at 25 C. Its really varied, so I'd like something more accurate.

Its really varied, so I'd like something more accurate. Well of course! Sigh....you still don't get it. Read this again: Quote:How the hell would somebody know that? Do you think we know the ambient temperature of your room? How the airflow is set up in your case? Air volume inside the case and inside the room? The thermal conductivity of your thermal grease? HSF contact surface area? The thermodynamics of your HSF (thermal dissipation of the base, thermal dissipation of the pipes, thermal dissipation of the fins, size of fan, velocity of fan, shape of fan, number of fins, thickness of fins, space between fins, shape of fins, material of base, material of pipes, material of fins, etc.)? Even if we had all of this info. and more we would still need a physicist to make sense of the data, and even then you wouldn't have absolute certainty. There are so many variables to take into consideration. It's like predicting a coin flip. If you found varied results on google what made you think we would be able to give you precise numbers?

If it's any help:
My Raidmax Altas has 2 fans, an i5 2300 with the stock cooling, a GTS 450, and TUNIQ thermal paste, and an ANTEC 550w PSU. I have a room that is hot nearly everyday. (Usually 10 degrees above any other rooms in the house.) My idle temps are from 35-40 degrees celsius. The hottest I've ever seen my processor get is 57 degrees Celsius, and that's after FOUR hours of Shadow of the Colossus (via PCSX2) @ 720p. (Of course my GPU never went past 70 Degrees, but it usually stops in the 60s.) Here is the case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6811156247 (Despite the reviews, it is absolutely lovely, aside from somewhat inferior build quality, flimsy metal... but the great stock cooling cancels that out... and it makes a great night light! ) 01-26-2012, 10:27 AM
thanks so much for all the help, btw, windows 7 is overpriced

.....you can get a win 7 home premium x64 for $100 last time I checked. If you're a student you can get it for like $75. MSDN alliance users can get it for free.

Because money is exchanged for goods and services.
