 |  Winter too cold? So I'm OCed to 3.0 ghz with my q6600 and its friggin freezing cause its winter here in cali and today I turned on my computer and went straight to bios and was amazed that the CPU temperature read 13 celcius and went quickly went up to 18 celcius. Now I know cold can damage chips just as well as heat, so I'm wondering is this a hazard for my q6600? All I can do now is lower my tuniq tower 120 rpm and the idle speed is like 30-18 celcius with a room temp of 60ish Farenheight.

| Re: Winter too cold? It shuts off because it doesn't need the cooling at that point. It can run just fine at those kind of temperatures without a fan on it. You can change that in the BIOS on most boards if you'd like.

| Re: Winter too cold? Well mine is always around 30c If I'm correct. At least next week I'm going to clean my whole PC and re master all the wires so it can look good for Christmas  , too bad here doesn't snow & doesn't get too cold either.
