Today was the warmest day yet this summer. I got temperatures of 40C in my computer room (I know I need AC! Got the stock AMD fan and it keeps my 1.2 thunderbird at around 64C and stable).

To do a quick and dirty conversions…40x2=80+30= aprox 110F!ACK! And it feels worse due to the high humidity.

Geeeez Chako, you scared me with the topic's name ... thought it was something .... else....



Posted by: Chako

Oh lol...as if I would do something like that to your forums!

These new athlons are great... my processor was running at 65C all day yesterday cause of the extreme heat... my case was reading 35C... and not one crash.

Gotta love em

C meaning celcius right?



Posted by: Null Actor

Of course.

whats that in real measurements



Posted by: Pepsi-Man[OTS]

C damn i dont have something to measure C in my room all i know is its about 95 degrees F in my room all damn day hehe. then its 90 degrees almost all night my room sux dude ill have nothing on my window open and my fan on high (ceiling fan) big fan hehe. and it will not cool down damnit =)

C * 9 / 5 +32 = F

F * 5 / 9 -32 = C

40 C *9 = 360
360 / 5 = 72
72 + 32 = 104
40 C = 104 F

95 F *5 = 475
475 / 9 = 52.7
52.7 - 32 = 20.7
95 F = 20.7 C

That is real measurements.

You americans are pretty much the last people in the world to continue using an outdated system.

And you like crashing satellites and spaceships because of it

Kablammo!!! hehe

yeah, i got a program on my calculator that is for temperature changing, changed celcius to farenheit and to kelvin, farenheit to celcius and kelvin, and kelvin to celcius and farenheit... w00t hehe

K = C - 273 (i think)

370 K is read as "Three-hundred Seventy Kelvin"
while
370^o C is read as "Three-hundred Seventy Degrees Celcius"
and
370^o F is read as "Three-hundred Seventy Degrees Farenheit"

^o is a replacement for the Degrees sign, because I don't know how to write it in here.



Posted by: redwench

K = 273 + C

R = 459 + F



Posted by: Hackenslacker

yeah, that's what I meant.
C + 273

what's R?



Posted by: redwench

dont quote me on the spelling here

renkin (thats what its pronounced as, not spelled right tho)

its the absolute temperature scale for fahrenheit, like kelvin is for celcius.

0 R = 0 K



i really should look up the spelling, but i dont feel like it.

Here you go. I have never used this temperature scale in any science lab (it is considered a dead temperature scale). Taken from a book I have here at home.


"Rankine temperature scale

A temperature scale having an absolute zero, below which temperatures do not exist, and using a degree of the same size as that used by the Fahrenheit temperature scale. Absolute zero, or 0°R, is the temperature at which molecular energy is a minimum, and it corresponds to a temperature of -459.67°F. Because the Rankine degree is the same size as the Fahrenheit degree, the freezing point of water (32°F) and the boiling point of water (212°F) correspond to 491.67°R and 671.67°R, respectively. The temperature scale is named after the Scottish engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine, who proposed it in 1859. Another absolute temperature scale, the Kelvin temperature scale, is more commonly used for scientific measurements."
