Show Us Your Rig [5]

[DocBrown]

Congrats Gary, another great science experiment!

Keep that roll of Duct Tape handy :roflmao:

 

[Britton30]

Thanks Kelly, I thought the tem spread was good too, the Sandy's sprerad is 16-18C.
Try this zip for the CPUz.

Yup Jack, the tape keeps my cables from falling on the floor.

 

[kbrady1979]

Awesome! Thanks Gary

 

[Britton30]

No problem, nice OC you have there too.

Unless you want the ROG version.

Unless you want the ROG version.

I like that version too, never tried the asus one

Oh, if you notice in the IBT snip, Core Temp doesn't recognize the 4670.

When it is installed in the case, core temp will recognize it :sarc:

 

[Britton30]

LOL, maybe like it does the i5-2550K.

 

[kbrady1979]

Has no problem with Ivy Bridge....I'm guessing there will be an updated version of CoreTemp that will have support for Haswell.

 

[Dude]

That's weird

Edit, talking about the 2550K

Yeah it sure is.
Here's an IBR High run after putting on a Hyper 212 EVO cooler.



It was idling at 37-38C, now in the mid 20's.

I idle there with mine. I wonder if I need to re-seat the cooler or it just because it's so hot here. It is about 30C in the room where I have my PC.

 

[Britton30]

If you've nothing to do, reapplying the paste may help some. You're only 7-8C above ambient, so I don't think that's too bad. My room at the moment is 21-22C.

 

[Dude]

Yeah you're right, I'm just talking myself into getting a water cooler Now that I got a chip I can OC I want to play more

Looking very good so far Gary, nice winsat score and a 7.7 WEI score for the CPU at stock speed?

I think you are going to have a good time with your new setup.

Paul.

@Britton30, thanks for your input, and yes have a good time for your new setup!!

Ah ha, a method to your madness. I'll push this a bit to see how hot it get before I decide on a closed loop. A full custom loop is too $$$ for me.

Yup, stock so far, 3800 on Turbo after burner.

Thanks mate.

Looks like it is going well there mate that IBT is that something I could try on the Sandy Bridge to see how mine scrubs up?. I am running an Artic Freezer 13 Pro on it at the moment and often wondered how good this cooler actually is.

 

[kbrady1979]

Yeah, just download IBT and I think it should be good to go out of the box. Here are the settings they recommend to test for stability.



Also, either have RealTemp or Core Temp opened to check your temps. IBT is VERY intensive and will produce quite a bit of heat.
