a bit hot

a bit hot

oc'd to 3.6ghz @ 1.475v

spiked at 87 degrees under stress testing

Think i'm gona have to re-fit the massive and fiddly cooler

thoughts?

Get a girlfriend

Its all about the Noctua. got one on mine and it keeps mine chilly!

it has a Tuniq Tower mate...it just musn't be seated properly.

Lots of people clock these chips to 3.6GHz with good air coolers, temps under max stress are meant to peak at about 70.

Just means i'm gona have to take the damn thing to bits again, never mind

just wondered if i'd perhaps missed something..apparently not!

whats your ambient room and case temps? wouldnt be suprised if overclocking geeks sat in a 10 degree room with puffa jackets on to try and get and extra mhz here of there so id take other peoples readings with a bit of sceptasism

Your all a bunch of complete gimps!

fuck off and play with your decks cool dude

lol it's probably true

the lengths people go to to get slighty better benchmark scores are quite amusing

Room isn't particularly warm, case...can't remember off the top of my head i'll check

seems the heat sink is deffo not seated properly, but i put it back down to 2.8ghz on auto voltage and under max stress it was showing 57 degress, idle temps are low 30s. My main worry was if there is risk of damage even at perfectly safe speeds..would seem not though.

Will try with 3ghz on auto voltage and see what happens...don't want the max temps going over 65 really.

Then when I get the time i'll get the relevant stuff and re-seat the heatsink. Just a bit of a pain in the ring to take out the mobo which i'm pretty sure i'll need to do



theres not much clearance between the rear of the case and the heatsink so getting to the upper left screw probably isn't gona happen without taking out the mobo

Have i hit a nerve?

i should have really put a on the end shouldnt i

My noctua has my overclocked e4300 at 3ghz, running at 27degrees idle. and about 40 stressed.

tuniq performs as well, so you must have something wrong. try dropping your vcore on your overclock too, see if you can get same stability with lower voltage for better temps

Maybe theres something wrong with the umpa lumpa valve, and you need to connect the thigh bone to the knee bone

only works if your ballcock is attached to your wanger and has free entry into the buckethole, otherwise its fucked

I have a lot to learn

upped to 3ghz, left vcore on auto - temps peaked at around 68 degrees but mostly no higher than 65 (well...when i looked the odd time)

left the stress test running for 6 hours, no errors or warnings...think i'll leave it at that for now though, will refit the cooler when i can be arsed.

I dont bother stress testing, i play the games i like as a tester.

its very rare that the pc will be stressed to the same level as orthos or something similar

just use the comp for your day to day stuff, stress testing is nice, but not essential

oh yeah I was thinking the same, I just wanted to see how hot it would get tbh

WTF are you's on about?
