POLL: Whats the Case temp of your Air-Cooled Rig?

[DivideBYZero]

Lets get a good cross section for reference.

I'm around 38C but my place is a little warm and I don't have the best case. I been experimenting moving the case fans around but I just can't get those temps much lower. If i take the cover off,it goes down to 33.

currently 26C.

almost never gets over 28.

Depends on the ambient temps in here. In the morning when it's cool my case temps are hi 20C to low 30C. By the afternoon/evening when it's hot (90-100F here in sunny SoCal + no AC) case temps run mid to hi 30C range.

It hovers around 32-35C

 

[Anubis]

mines usially 21-23 C and whenits really hot outside ist gets to like 30. iv enever seen mine above 32c

DivideBYZero, I get about 38-40C depending on ambiant temp's during the summer as my rig is in a non-air conditioned room.

 

[amdskip]

30-35, too many hard drives a going

 

[boyRacer]

27 to 30... 3 hard drives... room temp is more or less the same... when winter comes it should be around 22-25... can't wait.

geez, discrimination against the heat-challenged rigs. boooooooooooooo

51 idle.

Well, I have 3 systems. My main system is a Celly 566@850MHz on an Abit BH6 in a highly fan cooled Addtronics 6896A case, and it hovers around 33-35C in the day, and down to 27C when I turn on my aircon.
My HTPC is an Athlon Tbird 1.4GHz on an ECS K7S5A in a default cooled Enlight 7237 in a stuffy rack with not much ventilation. Case temps are normally in the high 30s.
My dad's PC is an Athlon XP 1800+ on an ECS K7VTA rev3.1 in an "iCute" Taiwanese brand mid tower case(these are popular over here) and runs above 40C with the case open. However, I don't think that is entirely accurate as there's no reason why it should be that hot. I guess it might be the sensor.

How come there's no choice for >40C?
