Plea for sensible temperature reporting
OK, maybe I'm sounding a little like Wes on this, but I wish people would
stop reporting socket temps for comparisons between systems. It's useless. If you *must* post socket temps, only do it with regard to changes you make to your system. Saying "changing from HSF A to HSF B leads to a drop in my socket temps, so HSF B is better" is fine (assuming both were put on correctly, etc) and actually has some meaningful information. Saying "system A gets socket temperature B with HSF C, and system X gets socket temperature Y with HSF Z (where Y B) so HSF Z is better" is totaly devoid of any information at all, so don't even bother mentioning it. Also, if mention any temperatures, say what they are! If they are socket, say socket. If they are core, say core. Do *not* say "CPU" temperatures. Say the case temp as well, and possibly the ambient temp if you're in some place where room temperature is not somewhere around 20 deg C (eg: Antartica, Sahara desert[*]). I can't force you to do this (unfortunately ) but for the sake of increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of this group, please be sensible when talking about temperatures. [*] Yes, I know the Sahara gets freakin' freezing at night, that's partially my point -- Michael Brown www.emboss.co.nz : OOS/RSI software and more Add michael@ to emboss.co.nz - My inbox is always open |
