I decided to fool around with my temps lol.
The 20c I achieved with my basement door open (My computer is situated right next to the door in my walk out basement).. The super cold air chilled my pc so violently that I actually heard the case warp from the heat dissipation :lol:
Test Procedure. I cranked up the heat in my house to a steady 85 degrees (The furnace room sits directly behind my computer room). I turned on my portable space heater for added effect. The air blowing out of my radiator was warm (a clear sign that my cpu is cooking).
Then I opened my basement door, killed both the heat sources, took off my case door and removed the fan filters.
Viola! A 45 degree drop in temps . Unfortunately Vista refused to boot. So I couldnt run any tests. But the mobo has a feature to show temps. (It shows temps on the high side compared with TaT and other apps)
Here are some pics.
Cooling down
20c
Vista gives me this (but safe mode works for some reason )
Has any of you guys tried anything weird/extreme like this to see whattemps you get?? If so, post them
