SpeedFan

[george]

I was just wondering, what would happen if you set your HDD and CPUs TEMP really low with a program like SpeedFan? Since having them really hot is bad, what happens if they're like 50 F? What would be a good temp to keep them at?

Well unless you have fans blowing over your drives then you can't really cool them down, and all 5 of my drives are currently running at 32*C, which is fine.

And there is no possible way to run a CPU at 10*C simply by turning up the speed of your fan. Turning that to max will maybe lower the temp by a few degrees, but it will never go below room temperature, the same goes for water cooling unless the water is refrigerated instead of air cooled.

Unless "wow" is some technical term that I'm unaware of, then please don't post unless your contributing.

32*C

Which is 89.6*F lol
Wouldnt 50* be harmful?

He meant 50F not 50C.

We're getting a mixture of F and C here lol.

CPU's generally run at 30-65*C (86-149*F) You could run it at -2000*C if you want, it's when it reaches above 65-70*C that it's a bit too hot and could shorten the life of your CPU. Using a fan alone will not cool the CPU down to below room temperature, as all the fan (watercooling included) does is remove the heat away from the CPU.
