Solved What are you're Cpu and System Temps ?

[tw33k]

Ceramique is a great one, as is arctic silver. Thin, even layers are the ticket. BIOS agrees with HWmonitor and SpeedFan about CPU temps. I'll hit it with my IR thermometer later when I have the gumption to dig it out of my tool kit.

I used a very thin layer spread over the whole CPU when I first put my PC together. Today, I replaced the compound and just put a pea sized dot in the middle and let the heatsink spread it when I re-installed it. Temps went down nearly 15c! The reason was probably too much compound and/or when you spread the compound out and install the heatsink, tiny air bubbles accumulate and this will give increased temperatures.

Yeah definitely something isn't right. I'd replace the compound as well.

Yeah, I have some Arctic Silver lying around somewhere. I'll definitely change out the compound as well.

Tweek like i promised temps with a little load

i took a full screen shot with a few windows open and some apps running such as a movie and full virus scan and a couple browsers does this justify my temps

TMPIN0 is supposedly my CPU's temperature (AMD Athlon II x2 240 Regor 2.8 GHz) When I was rendering a 1080p video file, the load temperature peaked at 48'C. Didn't get any higher than that. This is on a stock heatsink, fan, and thermal paste.

TMPIN1 is the northbridge. It never exceeds 42'C, but back when I used the integrated video, it did.

I'm not sure what TMPIN2 is.. if I had to guess, I'd say it's the thermal readings?

Anything under ACPI and "AMD Athlon II x2 240" seems to be screwed up.

My GPU core heats up to as high as 70'C during a heavy game, but it's fanless too.

Mine look a little high to me

I have the same processor clocked at 3.17 and it runs what your running under load :S

your gpu is fanless and gets up to 70C thats not bad 4670 ? you sure it didnt come with any fan ?

My fathers is a 4670 and has a VERY VERY small fan. Im sure if you put big enough Heatsink on there it could be fan less.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Oh i got you now like a big copper heatsink with atleast 4 pipes

 

[mckillwashere]

not even that the 4670 is a very low end video card... very light weight even under load.

Fanless

[Solarstarshines]

well youshowed me huh lol i never knew they had that style for the 4670 i know it is low end but still faster then a 3560

My CPU tends to stay pretty cool. Basically anything Pentium III and older doesn't really need any large-scale cooling.

Cpu/ gpu

 

[Nid]

After 60 min of a trial run newly install ASUS Crosshair iv.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Nid the cpu cores are high at 51 arent they ? what is the max temp for the hexcore you're running?

 

[LiquidSnak]

This particular processor has a maximum TDP of 125 watts and a maximum temperature threshold of 62°C

If after a grueling hour, the CPU reached 51C, that's not too bad. (could be better, but not bad)

 

[Hopalong X]

Nid

Those are great temps.

That is a 125W heat dissipation CPU. The cooling is working very well.

Mike


Solarstar yours is a 95W. A whole lot less heat to get rid of.

 

[Nid]

Yes, it is 125W chip. I don’t have a screen shot of before OC but I think HWMonitor was showing 116W or something list that and after OC it is showing 141W. My max temp were between 51C ~ 56C according to HWMonitor during 60 min stress. I have nowhere to make an accurate measurement of the CPU temp I just have to take the BIOS and HWMonitor word for it.

I went up to 4.15GHz but have to abort the run after 30 min or so as the CPU temp went up to about 59C. So I back off and settled to about 4 flat. The true is my every uses of this computer will be nowhere near the stress that P95 slam on it, I could leave it at 4.15 but I decided not to.

Also I am reaching or close to the edge of Air Cool VS. Water Cool. I may consider it at some point but not likely. My Antec 300 did a decent job in case cooling department, it kept everything else nice and cool. My MB, NB and SB temp was where they were before I started the stress. With fans going at max RPM I won’t be able to sit next to it for very long during stress. All fan folded back around 750 RPM during normal operation so I am okay with it.

The motherboard is worth every cent, I still have a lot more room to OC but hit the heating block.

 

[Solarstarshines]

my board maxes at 125 w but was told in the long run upping my cpu wont make much of a impact

i know it would impact it changing the board and ram but just a simple cpu changed im told i wont see much out of it based on my current set up

 

[LiquidSnak]

I relocated my residence, so new house, new temperatures. Ambient is still around 22C, but the PC is no longer against a wall

 

[Nid]

Walk around local retailer and saw H50 next thing I knew I walk out with one

But after 7 hours last night I was try to get this darn thing to work. Just couldn't do it. I installed per instruction manual, Corsair Tech Video, Youtube. Also tried 1 fan 2 fan, direction of the fan(s) and re-seated the thing for 4-5 times. No joy

17 min of P95 blend my temp shooting up faster then Space Shuttle. I set up my Probe II CPU temp alarm @ 59C, by the time I ran from downstairs to computer room my temp went up to 62C in less than 30 sec from the time I heard the alarm to the time I abort the test.

Going to return this thing and stick with my good old heat-sink and put $85 back in my pocket.
