Random Hardware topics

Wonders if CPU temp was Cores or Package. I expect its cores since they normally the cooler of the two. 47 on package in games would be impressive. I am lucky if I hit that at idle unless its 8c outside (like right now).

47 on cores in game is pretty good either way. Could be most of the load of the game is on GPU though. . If CPU just sitting there doing nothing it is easy to stay cool.

I'll have to look again and post some screens of HWInfo. That game specifically already ran fairly cool on both compared to other games, so I'll also need to test more games, get a more realistic view of the temps. It's a graphically impressive game but by no means the most demanding. I tend to get higher temps in Pirate Yakuza, and I haven't played that in about a week, so I'll have to try that again.

I'm just happy I'm pretty much done with my PC for a while. It's been a nearly two week journey doing everything I did. It's a well needed upgrade, and certainly a welcome one. The temps here haven't gone above 70F, so it's still quite cool outside. Once the summer comes here in the northern hemisphere, it usually gets up to 90-100F, so that will be the real test of my cooling upgrades.

random thumping noise is back... ai shows it could be cooler not mounted right, I will have to check it. Not many other things in cooler that would cause it.

Guess its been a month between problems... sigh. I had hoped Mouse was my March problem. This should be easily solved.

we had two cool days but its back up to 86F by end of the week, but summer is meant to end next month so there is that to look forward too. I expect pretty cool temps out of this PC in winter.

Screws loose or not mounted to mobo properly? Thumping would indicate something is moving, rocking back and forth. Very strange.
