answering a question with a question I see
plz tell me how idle temps matter??
cuz I can passively cool an overclocked cpu and keep it at 30 degrees idle, but wont last long once load hits, da fucking ghot logic
If you have a question...I would think you would know how to Google.
As for idle temps..it doesn't matter if they are idle or load...physics is physics.
Most ppl do NOT buy reference cards. Reference cards DO exhaust out the back of the comp. Non - reference cards do as well, but not as much. Hence, they raise the ambient temp in the case.
When the ambient in the case is higher, all other temps will be higher, w/e "normal"cooling method you use.
When you keep the ambient in the case lower you can overclock higher. Again, simple physics.
I have explained this at least 50 times over the years. I would think that by now, some of the regulars would understand it.
Like I said, try some coffee. :/
