Burn, Baby Burn!

If I were to believe this temp readings, my PC would’ve melted by now. Could you believe 705C for my GPU?  Luckily for me there’s CoreTemp and TAT that gives the most accurate reading. I’ve tried others and they are whacked! Unfortunately, TAT no longer works for me… keep getting error everytime I run it. I should’ve never Re-installed my OS just to do a stupid experiment, on which loads the OS faster, my old P4 or Conroe… like, D’uh! Well, iTAT has been removed already in their website and the dl links out there are not working. *shakes fist*

Running CoreTemp always has a 8-10C difference between Core and CPU temp. That is to be expected I suppose. Anyway, I stress tested my CPU once again for Jenn, Cecille and Nat just to prove to them all is OK. I ran RTHDRIBL and Prime95 for 25 minutes, and then ran SuperPi 1M on the 25 min. mark. Here’s the temp reading (pls. disregard hte Super Pi results it’s 18s more than usual [stock]this was strictly a temp experiment). Anyway, tmeps went back to normal @ 39C and 37C after a few mintues. I shall try Everest this weekend, if I have time finishing Julie’s rig.

I want her’s and nat’s board … Damn it! If N590 or RD 600 are a big disappointment, or if they don’t get here before Thanksgiving, I suppose that’s what I’ll have to get.

Time for a nap before my next class starts. I have to stop obsessing with PC’s in the next few weeks otherwise I’ll have a tough time this semester.
