To fold and beyond.

[Norwegiantweaker]

So whats the usual temperatures one have while folding?.

Such as GPU/CPU % and Heat, ppd.

 

Im using my machine fulltime while running folding at full.

i get about 60C on my 7970 ( XFIRE )

and tops 78C on cpu. I7- 3820 ( 4.3ghz oc atm )

 

While idle but at full folding load, i have about 55C GPU and 60C CPU

 

Is this high?. im used to running my system very cool so im just wondering if in the long run ( speaking months ) can it shorten cpu and gpu lifetime tremendously ?. like years ?.

 

Usualy i get around 200k ppd while using my computer for gaming and normal activities.

 

Im sorry if this have been asked alot before :3.

 

Thanks.

Gpu sound fine with 60°C but the cpu seems a little high. (Not dangerous but high) what are you cooling it with?

Closed loop H80I with pushpull config middle setting. Runs quiet

. inroom temprature is 22-24C tho.

There's a thread about this, but maybe less specific than your questions

But your temps look completely fine, that's pretty low for a GPU too. It would take extra voltage or tons of extra heat to shorten the lifespan significantly, these computer parts are made to actually be used after all, not just sit idling at 30C. The fan will probably die before your GPU or CPU does.

With that cooling solution and ambient temperature, your temperatures are correct, and highly unlikely to shorten the life of your harware.

Well, not enough for you to notice it (you'll probably be upgrading long before it dies)

100% load all the time, maximum of 60 on the 670 which is at stock, that is, 980MHz for the windforce cooler and just under 80 for my CPU usually, sometimes up to 95 depending on the ambient for my 3770k which is clocked at 5.1GHz

What cooling solution do you have for a 5,1ghz oc with a steady 80C ?. and does it sound like a jet engine ??

5.1GHz on a 212 evo!?

i am eager to know this aswell!.

Running 4 fans on each side ? lol

Haha!

Or 2, 212's soldered/welded together

HAHAHA This cracked me up!. whats next. car radiator welded to the block lmao

I used to have a 212 evo for the longest time, untile 1-2 months ago when I secretly upgrade to custom watercooling loop, and no, I've never had an issue with noise on my computers... So far.... I have plans for something in the future, it's going to be hard for 18 fans to remain quiet

 

5.1GHz on a 212 evo!?

It was quite remarkable that I was able to do that, when I was using the evo though I dialed the OC down to 4.5-4.8GHz, even though it handled it just fine as my voltages are only ast 1.35 and a 212 evo can dissipate that quite well

Fair enough

You appear to be a winner of the silicone lottery... I was not

Silicone ? whut

that is some impressive temp's with that cooler im sort of jelly.

[Hazy125]

Hmm. You guys must be new to the forums or something, my temps and overclocks are old news....

Anyway, this thread is about folding not overclocking...

haha!. might be. congrats tho. time to buy an evo and see what the fuz is all about. might buy a new cpu inb4 i fry the old one to beat you lol

Yea the processors are made of silicone.

This means that every chip is a little different in how much voltage it requires to run at certain clock speeds.

If you get a "good chip" you can run at high clock speeds with comparitively low voltages to what's required on a "bad chip."

This "luck of the draw" when you buy your chip is refered to as the silicone lottery.

If you get a good chip, you're said to have won the silicone lottery

There's a difference between silicon and silicone, CPU's are made from silicon while many thermal pastes are made from silicone

I never knew this, thanks
