I have tightened the screws in the X pattern as well as counting the rotations. The thermal paste was applied 2 days ago. I have reseated 4 times in total, wiping the thermal paste off with mineral cleaner each time. Ambient temperature is also 73F

post a picture of cpuz at full load

MikeJeng · Jan 4, 2011

I'll post the results in a few hours. I don't think having the CPU on full load for 10 minutes will show anything useful.

That's all the longer it will run for?

I don't understand, could you please rephrase that?

You said you don't see what running the CPU at 100% load for 10 minutes will yield. What do you mean by only running it for 10 minutes? Like 10 minutes until you stop it, or does the machine shut down around 10 mins because of temps?

I thought I was supposed to post the temperatures during the torture test after a couple of hours. What I meant was that I didn't think 10 minutes at 100% would change the temperature much. Sorry, I am unfamiliar with these kinds of things.

10 minutes should heat the CPU up plenty. If you ran it for a few more hours temps may go up like 2C but it shouldn't be much.

Post a cpu-z screenshot, and use real temp or core temp for your temperature monitering program. Post up a screenshot of both those after about 100% load for 10 mins.

Oh another thing also, what HSF where you using before the h50? What were your temp's like on that?

One more thing, what is your CPU V core set at? Is it at auto in BIOS or have you manually set it?

From the looks of it high temps will ensue long before 10 minutes. The idle temps are way out of spec for that frequency. I would temporarily go back to the air cooler to verify.

Yeah, but their is so many things to consider before blaming it on the cooler. If you don't mind swapping to a air cooler, then try that and report your temps.

Was using a Tuniq Tower 120 before with idle temps of 42C.

That's using your h50? If your tuniq tower was idling at 42C i would say that it's not the coolers faults. What's your room temp? Also what is your ambient temp in your case?

I noticed that my h50 didn't idle at amazing temps, but it stayed much cooler under full load.

MikeJeng · Jan 4, 2011

74f - Room Temperature

So are the temperatures ok? There doesn't seem to be a large gap when under load. By the way, what temperatures are you getting?

Well if room temp's are 74f something has to be wrong somewhere. But you mention your tuniq tower idled at 42C makes me really confused. Your chip is at a incredibly low vcore under load and it's at stock clocks. Im so confused why both the tuniq and h50 idle so high.

Your sure you have the h50 as a intake?

MikeJeng · Jan 4, 2011

Yes, I can feel cold air being pushed into the case. The radiator itself is not hot when I touch the fins. Could this be a problem?

It shouldn't necessairly be hot, how does the air feel being pushed through? Is it warm after running prime 95?

The air is cold.

How do you get 100% load with Prime 95?

QX9650 running at QX9770 specs -

LAN_deRf_HA · Jan 6, 2011

I got 3 inch screws for my H70 to do a shroud. About 1/2 longer than I need. Is there gonna be a problem just threading that extra length in or are the holes too shallow?

Josh154 · Jan 7, 2011

Umm.. I wouldn't. It will go straight into the rad fins. Got a dremel or a grinder? Just cut the extra off.
