Question to those who run bot farms; CPU temps.

Let's just say that I can't upgrade to water-cooling as I might not be able to, I am not entirely sure yet.
Is 30-36C bad for just leaving my computer with nothing running?

Thanks for this help guys! I really do appreciate it.

 

No not at all. You have to realize your pc is always going to be a few degrees higher than your ambient temps, reguardless if you are idle or maxing the CPU. My computer averages 60-65c when @ 100% CPU usage.

You should be fine with a good air cooler.

 

What are your specs, and what OS are you running?
In that 100% max load, what are you running?
Also, in your rig, what heatsink are you using?
Sorry about so many questions, but this is my first build, anything helps!

 

I'm a bit confused... Is the % considered C?


I have computer with Intel i7 2600 and it runs at 1-6% with Skype, MSN, and Firefox on. I can run 10 NeXuS bots on it with it staying below 20%.

Going 95-100% isn't a problem, right?

I first need to know if % in other words in C to be able to compare both my and your computer to help you.

 

Hey DMR.
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.
If you're trying to get the degrees in Celsius, I'd give CoreTemp ( alcpu.com/CoreTemp ) a try.
Cheers~
