I'd be upset if that was my CPU, even more upset to find out they weren't grounded when handling it.

Even so, surely the ambient difference cant make that much of a change? Unless clauss is sat on an f16 afterburner?

true but we have to wait for claus so we know what's up. maybe he is playing it on the bed. i have seen somepoeple game on the bad and wonder why there system is getting so hot???
-
also be on the lookout i just got a new high on 3dmark06 that i believe beats the previous high by mandrake, pics coming along with temps -
-
OCCT is designed to really push the hardware though i think mandrake, i dont think Crysis has been 100% optimised for any card, i'd say there should be a 5-10C difference for crysis and OCCT, crysis being the lower.
-
New 3DMark06 record??
Temps during that run
Time for a vantage run now -
Its a good score i'l give you that, can anyone confirm this is a new record?

No the ASUS W90 has gotten into the 17k range... but yes for M17x it is! GJ

MrButterBiscuits ~Veritas Y Aequitas~
Also a factor to consider in actual gaming and 3d applications NVidia tends to do better..ATI has inflated 3D mark scores, they are very good for benchmarking at least
-
-
Yes i always had the feeling the ATI cards in general had an overinflated 3d06 score(see 3870s) . Would love to see some 12.5k vantage scores though

if your cooling is that good then maybe a prolong test is needed????
i have a fn + 1 feature that makes my fans run at full speed and i can make my idle shoot all the way down. helps alot. but it will raise it eventually. looking at your graph
2min 30sec from 34 to 70
then 9min it hit 80.
compared to vic's w90 that hit 105 in 5mins
my np9262 hit 70 in 2min
then 5min it hit 90
it could be that it takes some time before it reachs high levels. -

Hey Kcissem are you FSB pumping now instead of Overclocking through the Multi ?
-
MrButterBiscuits ~Veritas Y Aequitas~
Yes he is, he finally listened to you guys lol... before he was caught up in Benchmarking, and OC through the bios multiplier
-
Also vantage scores did not change so i need to try to up the gpu a bit more. -
Are your posted temps with the Cryo?
-
-
(backtracking a few pages) Sorry don I didnt get around to your tests, I wasnt able to discern what was going on and the download for one was pissing me off. But I am playing in a mildly cold room, also on wood desk. No blanket/bed. I bet i could get the temperatures higher if I played longer, but 82 seems high to me. How high should you go before you stop playing? and is 82 safe to play at for long periods of time?
-
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
run occt for 20 mins and let see. do the power supply test.
also kcissem can you run it to. mandrake i know you have done this but i'm not sure if you have done the power supply test. lets see what number you come up with.
82c is a bit warm but isn't nothing to worry about but help from to who has the system is better. -
FYI i wont be touching those OCCT tests with a ten foot pole lol , i just dont see the need for them . My stability/heat will come from the basic benchmarks i run along with the games i own . Most i will do when i get a new CPU is run orthos for a bit to make sure it doesnt crap out.

my whitebook hit's 86 all the time. and it was fine(not for me though) but again we are dealing with nvidia components.
if the 280m is infact a 9800m gtx with more SP's, then it should do the same thing(maybe at 95-100) but if it is a desktop 9800 gtx+ then it may or maynot be ok. get me??? -
keep it mind though those temps are with being overclocked almost to the point if i'm going to go any further i'd have to up voltages. -
@Dondah
Oh i get you loud and clearim just not running those tests personally , thats not to say others should or should not . Its all about the numbers from things i care about IE Vantage,Crysis etc and thats where the numbers will tell you whats up with the system and also about real world stability . I have never been a fan of torture tests and never will be period. The conditions they put your system under are so unrealistic i just never saw the need , but again thats me and not everyone else .
-
by the way i bought crysis maximum and gta4 not only to play but to run benchmarks, should i run them at 1900x1200 or 1080 to compare with the w90? (which i actually ordered but cancelled for the M17x)
-
What resolution should i run OCCT power supply test at? 1900?
-
-
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
ok class are you using a cooler.
kcissem. at least we know about where your system stands. 92 overclocked and overvolted. so 82 is about right. maybe alittle high. but it's fine. at least from one person.
-
-
Im very anxious to here how GTA4 runs
make sure you get it all good and patched up before even running the game at all as the patches made a huge difference in performance.
-
No cooler don
(twiddles fingers) -
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
Lol.
i'm officially lost. -
Didnt you ask me earlier in this thread if I had a cooler..lemme go find it. You spelled my name class, but no idea if that has any matter in this.
-
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
Lol. my bad. yeah i asked if you had a cooler when it reached those temps.
-
Ah, sorry for confusion. But no I dont, think it is worth getting one?
-
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
yes. it is. your temps according to kcissem is normal. alittle bit higher by 1 or 2 degrees. but nothing to worry about. i would get a cooler however to get it lower.

i like the silver one. -
80 bucks....Meh 82 degrees sounds good to me lol. I just will be careful.
-
Clauss if your system is parked in one place all the time then it couldnt hurt honestly . I dont think i will get a cooler until i get totally crazy with Overclocking , the temps your describing are perfectly fine TBH .

Ok guys reporting back with some real life tests.
Did a 1920x1080 all maxed out very high Crysis DX10 benchmark loop, looped it 10 times in a row and ran HWMonitor.
I also overclocked my cards to 615/950 from 550/850 and my max temp was 79c thats safe
Cpu was OC from 2.0 to 2.7ghz
These results are for the Asus W90 just incase you did not know by now for comparison, it gets confusing with us posting other system scores.
OCCT just killed my W90 for some reason... -
Another good run, broke my own record for the M17x on 06
-
Are you using a cooler, kcissem?
-
-
Eh, since everyone is getting into temps now, may as well throw my numbers in here. Anything higher 80C for a QX9300 and 85C for a 280M isn't exactly normal. It means you need to use a cooler, get a lower ambient, make sure your laptop is open, etc.

Technically, unless you are approachin the thermal limits at or above 100C you don't need to worry.
Is 85C hot? Yes, but some ppl don't really care as long as it's within spec.... -
85c+ will fail the Occt test though
