Hi, I recently got a Core i7 940 ES and bought a CoolIT Domino to cool it. The temps I get with a 30 min load with Prime95 x64 and with an ambient temp of 28 ºC (34 ºC inside the chassis) are:
And my idle temps, after 5 minutes cooling down are:
At first, I thoght the idle & load temps with Prime95 x64 Blend were normal... Until I got here and started seeing that it seems that load temperatures for everybody are around 50 ºC. My temps are monitored via Real Temp and I think they are quite right because I can feel the heat exiting the back of my chassis.
When I installed the CoolIT, I checked that the water block base was flat; what I didn't check was the CPU's IHS. Could my high CPU temperatures be due to a not really flat IHS??
There is another thing, also: I have the CoolIT in the Performance mode wich automatically adjust its speed regarding water temperature. The thing is, when I star the system, it runs quite silent and logically, when I load the CPU, it increases the fan rpm. But after I stop the load and the CPU cools down, the rpms doesn't go down, they stay the same.
Thanks
