As you may or may not know i own an Intel Celeron D 335 Processor, overclocked to 3.5Ghz. And to cool it, i use a Zalman superflower fan.
Well, i decided to play around with the fan controller, and run some CPU intensive programs.
My CPU intensive program is called United Devices, cancer reasearch program, etc. It basically uses all the spare processing cycles to do its work.
I turned the fan speed down from 2600rpm on my CPU to... 1300rpm.
The attachment shows what happens to temperatures...
Was the lesson an expensive one, or did your CPU survive this cooking lesson?
Second question is: Just what were you hoping to accomplish with this? It just seems logical that a cooling fan would cool a system, so turning it off while running up the heat production would cause temperatures to rise.
Don't baffle us with science.Quote:

lol. There is a sweet tomshardware article about them overclocking a processor to 5 Ghz http://www.tomshardware.com/2003/12/30/5_ghz_project/
wow thats real cool,
Does that mean, the more we cool our CPU, the better its performance will be? I mean seriously, should I put my CPU inside my refrigerator? Will the performance be better then? My PC has been really annoying me lately, if putting some ice cubes around my CPU will fix the problem then I do not mind?
Would he have a screenshot? :DQuote:

Wow that's really boring. :rolleyes:Quote:

Demasterjo, i've read that article before, and wonder why they wanted 5Ghz in the first place, it wouldn't have been very practical at all, and i'm betting you couldn't even run Quake (the original) on it without it malfunctioning.
The CPU actually hit 65C before starting to cool down, and is actually idling at about 33C now, so everything is fine :)
Oh, btw, NEVER overclock a laptop, they're not meant for the excess heat.
Yes, the cooler, the better. This is because heat creates resistance in the traces of the chip so the electrons flying through them at 99% the speed of light slow down a little... lol.Quote:

I wouldn't put ice cubes in your PC. Water is a conductor.
Minus degrees?? I hope you wern't referring to Kelvin... :cool:Quote:

Not uncommon to see rigs working at -50C on liquid cooling... They don't stay that way for too long though. The lowest i've seen is -190 ish on LNO2Quote:
