i7 950 stock running hot !!! help plz

kayawish24 · Jul 17, 2009, 11:21 PM

i managed to build my own gaming rig and the specs are:-

My System Information
CPU: Intel Core i7 950 3GHz stock
Cooler:- Coolermaster v8
Board: ASUS P6t6 Revolution
Mem: 6GB Triple Channel DDR3 Corsair XMS3 1600MHz 8-8-8-24
GPU: Nvidia 3 X XFX GTX 260 Core 216 3 WAY SLI 715/1270/1431 (Core/Memory/Shader)
HDD: 640GB S-ATA Seagate Baracuda 32 Mb Cache 7200 Rpm
Sound: SoundMAX Full HD 7.1 Channel
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 x64 *Activated*

PSU: Corsair TX-850 Watts

i have serous problems with CPU heating issues even nothing is been overclocked except GPUZ..CPU is @ stock settings...

Idle cpu temps are 41 39 42 36 according to core temp and in 100% load temps were 61 61 61 57.... also checked the temps while running prim95 small TFTs still load temps are the same...please help

erocker · Jul 17, 2009, 11:24 PM

That's perfectly normal with the stock cooler.

kayawish24 · Jul 17, 2009, 11:31 PM

i have Coolermaster v8 not stock cooler

erocker · Jul 17, 2009, 11:32 PM

Aye, well first thing to try is taking it off, reapply thermal paste and put it back on / Test the temps again.

kayawish24 · Jul 17, 2009, 11:38 PM

cpuz shows my core voltage 0.984v - 1.0016v

douglatins · Jul 17, 2009, 11:41 PM

definitely reinstall the V8, then put high grade TIM.

Psychoholic · Jul 17, 2009, 11:44 PM

So where did the 1.216v in the screenshot come from? thats higher than normal and could cause some higher than normal temps.

DRDNA · Jul 17, 2009, 11:44 PM

my guess is that it will be about the same with the V8 re-installed....these CPU's run hot...And 61 is pretty okay for WPrimeBench...that and Fritz Chess Benchmark cause more heat than any normal game or application will...SO yes you get to 61 but I bet you will not find a game that will do that to your CPU.

Paulieg · Jul 17, 2009, 11:46 PM

Those temps are fine. Take it from a guy with 2 DO's. This is exactly why these chips beg for water cooling.

kayawish24 · Jul 17, 2009, 11:48 PM

i just disable the HT option in bios and now cpuz shows my core voltage 0.984v - 1.0016v

mastrdrver · Jul 18, 2009, 01:00 AM

What case is this in?

Look normal to me. I run 40-38 idle and 50s loaded at stock speeds with same board and Vendetta 2. I think my HAF is helping me a lot as its like a open bench with an almost invisible wall around everything.

kayawish24 · Jul 19, 2009, 02:49 AM

i think i shall change this v8 cooler to Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366 - Retail

my be the temps go down

I doubt it will help that much.

kayawish24 · Jul 19, 2009, 02:51 AM

and why is that...in prime 95 small tfts temps go over 85C @ 4ghz on 1.33V i must do something

mlee49 · Jul 19, 2009, 02:54 AM

Have you visited the i7 overclocking thread? Edit: I see you have. Temps are a very 'hot' topic over there, so much that an i7 WaterCooling thread had to be started.

I'm running mine at 1.3V for 3.4Ghz and my load temps are mid 70's under water cooling. So yeah they run hot my man.

There isn't much difference between 85c and 82c is all. That's about how much difference you'll see by switching coolers. Core i7's are hot, you don't have any temperature problems.

Are you on Air or Water? If you're on water you can drop yours down to 1.25 or even 1.22 and be fine right? Mine is running @1.25 with 3.6Ghz.

how shall i check my cpu stability in prime95 if the temps are going above 85C?

douglatins · Jul 19, 2009, 03:41 AM

Getting a True will definitely help, and you can even put 2 good fans, but then what would you do to the V8?

Another thing when i said mine is 35ish idleing its because over here is winter temps are 15Cish what are your ambient temp?

And come on, its on water and not 4.0, shame! hehe

kayawish24 · Jul 19, 2009, 03:52 AM

douglatins · Jul 19, 2009, 04:29 AM

Is that GPU score right? I have no experience in multiple card sli

HellasVagabond · Jul 19, 2009, 04:53 AM

1.2v here at 3.8GHz...
The i7s dont really like too much voltage.

That aside what is your room temperature ? Plus those 3 XFX GTX260s already produce too much heat, so my guess is that your temps are normal, especially for the summer.

freaksavior · Jul 19, 2009, 04:55 AM

yeah dude, your temps look fine.

nothin to worry about

kayawish24 · Jul 19, 2009, 11:54 AM
