Message: Subject: Pentium 840D Safe Temperature? By: Blitz1775 (IP: 74.130.58.*) Written on: 29-11-2006 17:18 Well my computer had a few hiccups when running WOW and it hadn't did that before so I went to check out the temperature of my computer and found it to be at 63-69 C under load. I was wondering since this site says 69.8C is the safe temperature is that good?. Reason I was wondering about it was on the site it says that Intel for this set measures the temperature off internal case temperature and mines only at ~30-33 C so its kind of confusing @@. *Note*: Mine is a semi-fanless system (for lack of a better word). (I.E. The heatsink does not have a fan directly on it, but there is a cover you put on top the heatsink that connects to a fan.

Having a source of fresh air fed from outside the case (via a duct) is also nice. I don't know for sure but it sounds like you have a BTX (??) system - what Intel describe as a "thermally advantaged solution". Hmmm. If you want to try to run cooler it might be worth taking the cover off and jury-rigging a decent fan to blow directly onto the heatsink (with the cover still off) to see if it makes a difference.
