Do you mean 95°C? That seems not ok to me. My CPU has 28°C on idle and 52°C on ramming speed. Btw, an idle process with 90% is ok. The idle process colltects the time the cpu is idle.

Hm, maybe the cpu cooler is not correctly mounted and the thermal protection slows the cpu down. Did you check the cpu temperature?

iphigenie, f0dder thanks you for your replies. Actually i don't need that graphics power, but i need Direct X 7 support because i won't give up The Typing of the Dead. :-)
Besides that, i don't play on a PC, i have a PS2. Playing from the sofa is much more convenient.

The main focus is java programming. The applications that are nonstop running are:
  • Several Eclipse instances
  • At least one DB server (Oracle or MS SQL)
  • One DB tool
  • Browser
  • A Linux VM

As a consequence i need a fast CPU, 2 Gig RAM, a fast harddisk and a graphic card that supports two TFT.

The point about the Southbridge/Northbridge fan is a deja vu  for me. ;-)
It is funny, that this is the only fan that is not thermal controlled in my Shuttle, and that can't be steered with SpeedFan.

Living Room / Fanless computer
« on: September 24, 2007, 05:03 AM »
I'm thinking about buying a new computer. The problem that i have with the "usual" computers is: They are too noisy. I'm sitting in a really calm room and the sound of the fans attracts my attention. My current computer is a Shuttle SN 95G5 with a passive cooled ATI 9600 graphic card inside a silent box. This is a quite good solution. But for the next computer, why not try a model without any fans at all? I've found this offer. E.g., Midi Tower, Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, 2GB RAM, 500GB Harddisk and GeForce 8600GT graphic card for 2290 EUR (without OS). Not a single fan inside and the harddisk is enclosed in a noise protection case. Ok, it is not really cheap, but life is not supposed to be cheap. The question is: Can one up-to-date computer really be completely passive cooled via heat pipe? What is your experience?

Yep, i have bookmarked the User help.

So Daniel15 has a link to an image in his signature, and the image is being rendered dynamically on each request, right?
