Can it get too cold?

[Dave726]

I know everyone is worried if There comp is too hot but im worried if its too cold? or if there is even such a thing?



I have air cool i have all fans on intake and i have my rear facing my heat sink. My rear fan is a ultrakaze 120m 3000rpm 133.60CFM this is aimed at my heat sink. I also have a 250mm fan on the side and a kaze-jyuni 120mm 1600rpm 88.11cfm in the front. The room temp avgs around 20C(im in a basement in NH USA). I have a Q6600 at 2.4 and afreezer 7 pro my temps are, Cpu 26C System -9C. AUX 25C Core 0 25C, Core 1 26C, Core 2 24C, core 3 21C. This is idle my temps jumps about 4-5C on load System goes up around 3C.

dude your great. the cooler the better. a cool processor will make the electricity flow better. i wish my processor ran that cool.

tom's overclocked a p4 a while ago and that had a core temp of -190 (f or c, i don't remember) using liquid nitrogen. I suppose you might have a problem when you approach Absolute Zero, but i highly doubt you'll ever see a pc that cold. 4-5C is above freezing for water - i've never seen a component spec that is that high for minimum operating temperature.

Your temperatures seem fine, things will perform well at those temperatures.

And, no you can't really get a temp too cold. Really the only worries about getting temperatures THAT low is the mobo actually becoming brittle enough to crack.
