Windows 7: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus Cooler

I guess i just got lucky on it working right

Luck works, I rely on it regularly just not all the time as they say lady luck is finicky !

no doubt

If it works for you, that's great , however if someone had a case with worse airflow, this might very well make their CPU overheat. I'm fairly sure that if you changed from your current configuration to a push/pull configuration, your temperatures would get even better!

i don't know how much lower from 16c i can go but maybe i should test this and we can put this one in the books im up for the challenge but it'll take me some time to do it and test

That's running pretty freaking cool for now... don't really think turning the fan around for "push pull" would improve it by much but if you do get around to changing it let us know how much it drops the temps please... I recently got one of those 212+ models for my cpu but it doesn't run anywhere near as cool as yours and I do have it setup for push pull but I'm running a different CPU and used the supplied thermal paste rather then buying something better though i may go back in later if I decide to play around with overclocking... Even at boot I'm at 26C and during stress test it got around 60C but never exceeded that for the four hours I kept an eye on it but after that I'm uncertain though I ran the test for nearly 12 hours after unlocking the fourth core

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
Case: NZXT Lexa S
PSU: Cooler Master GX 650
Mobo: Biostar A770E
Optical drive: LiteOn (iHAS424-98)
CPU: AMD Athlon 450 Rana 3.2 Ghz (Unlocked into a Phenom II X4 B50 3.2 Ghz)
CPU Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 (Push pull with 2X120MM fans)
Ram: PNY 6 Ghz @ 667 Mhz (mixed it up for duel channel with matched sticks but 2 gig chips in first two dimms and 1 gig sticks in second two dimms)
Hard drives:2X Seagate Barracuda 320GB 7200RPM
Graphics: 9600GT (To be upgraded to GTX 460)
Case cooling: 2X140 exhaust fans on top, 1X120 exhaust in the back, 2X120 intake fans

I get idle core temps from 27 to 32 for highest core, and max temps about 52. Each persons temps will vary, and yours are no problem. And if Solarstarshines is getting 16c, push/pull, smush/pull, I'd leave it be

Core temp and Speed fan shows diff cpu temps on my rig, i think speed fan is telling porkies..

Check for your self peeps, 2 progs against speedfan hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I think you can trust Core Temp. I have it, but use Real Temp mostly (it's for Intel). But they give comparable results, and I know I can trust Real Temp.
