the thing is that my cpu temperature says 0 degrees. ambient temperature is 42, remote is 54, hd is 34, and temp1 is 52. now which one of these is my cpu temperature. and is temperatures such as 54 getting dangerously hot or is that just barely on the ok side of things.
Hi Pizza. Is it me or did you answer your own question? If the application states that your "CPU Temperature is 0 Celsius, then I would take that to be accurate. That is, if the settings for the application itself are correct.
I just downloaded Speedfan for myself. My readings are as follows:
- Temp1: -65 F (blue down arrow....more than likely signifying below recommended range)
- Temp2: 28 F (blue down arrow....more than likely signifying below recommended range)
- Temp3: 79 F (check mark...more than likely signifying within recommended range)
- HD0: 97F (check mark...more than likely signifying within recommended range)
- Temp1: 71F (blue down arrow....more than likely signifying below recommended range)
In my situation, I would gather that Temp3 is my CPU temperature. I do not see anything referencing ambient temperature or remote temperature. Now, when I minimized the application, the Temp1 reading is next to the clock and is in blue writing. I highly doubt my CPU temperature is -65 degrees Fahrenheit
Now, I do not see a place to change the temperature ranges for each gauge. However, I have built many computers and in my opinion, a CPU is in the "normal" range anywhere between 110 - 170 degrees Fahrenheit (38 - 77 degrees Celsius).
.
also my fan spins at 1455 rpm and its the only one in my computer. it cools both the cpu and evacutes heat from the computer. should i consider installing a new fan.
As other have mentioned, a secondary fan would do you good. You can get fans for as low as $5 from newegg.com. My Fan ratings are upwards of 2000 RPM per fan but my system may be a lot more powerful than yours, hence the higher RPMs.
Please remember there is a direct correlation between the size of the fan and the sound you will here when the computer is running. The larger the fan, the more air that will be displaced. The more air that is displaced, the more sound you will hear.
Also, the smaller the fan, the more revolutions produced, the more revolutions equate to highed decibels.
