Temperature Check: i7 920 + Megahalems

[douglatins]

But still those temps you are having are awesome, like WCish, how come? you must have a golden sample of both it seems.
How did you apply the TIM? line, dot, spread?

This time around I just a plastic bag and spread it thinly. You sure you mounting cooler properly? You tightening both screws all the way? Yeah my temps are really good as a matter of fact.

Yes i am, i have also use the plastic bag but noctua tim is very thick, so i dont think it was the best. Look at this post:

Thats whats got me wanting to reseat and also the temps

Oh wait those temps: HT on or off?

Try the different methods. I have tried the two lines, and they spread very well, but it wa a different cooler. I suggest trying different combinations. Do you have aim? Pm me ur s/n and w can talk through there better sinc I'm at work

Cool, I just got home. I'll be on later

I ran Intel burn test with 8 threads and very high load and temperatures were always aroun 53ish on the cores with realtemp, being the fist 2 always around 2C higher. idle is 29-30 ish

No, but i was wondering is the temps are correct, its 25ish ambient

still too much IMO. My stock i7 and mega gets to 37C idle.

My i7 stock @ 133x21 1.2Vcore 1.15V QPI and the megahalem gives me idle temps of 37C with ambient 30C.

Im at 4.1 Ghz. I have it blowing sideways, however, mine is outside of a rig. Its on a tech station. Both fans push and pull, here are my idle temps.

ambient is about 25ºc

Douglatins, what is your stock voltage? You all are running the same temps at idle and load given the difference in ambient. I think you fine.

My i7 D0 idles mid 30C on a Vendetta 2 with same R4 fan in 25C ambient. I would love to have your idle temps. My stock voltage is 1.175 in bios but those temps are with speedstep so voltage drops to 0.920v. Pretty sad if you ask me.

 

[douglatins]

Ok now im at 1.325V 3.675Ghz with HT on and my idles are 39ish on hottest core. and linx loaded 76 though not a prolonged test. Im beguinning to have a feeling my U12P performed better, what could be wrong?

Why do you say it performed better? what clock/voltage were you running with that cooler?


Think about something forget about me been at 4.1 Ghz, it's voltage that matters, I'm only using 1.247v full load under linx. You are using over 1.35v. If I go that high my temps do climb that high. Only difference is that since I have a C0 that voltage gets me up to 4.4-4.5ish Ghz.

Your temps seem better now however, I think you will be fine. Don't let the difference in clock speeds throw you off.

What are your loads at stock?

Not 50s I can tell you that. I know with Linx, running 1.225v gets me barely touching 80s on 2 hottest. By 1.2625, which is 4ghz stable voltage, I'm about 85C max. 1.275v is 88 to 89 depending on ambient. Can't do anything more as temps just take off into the 90s. I believe 4.1ghz to be 1.30625v LinX stable and 4.2ghz to be somewhere in the 1.325v area just from initial testing since I know what uncore takes. Just can't run the 10 minutes minimum with LinX to clear vcore as temps go too far into the 90s.

I just need to get some money together to get a Mega, IFX, or the Noctua version if it ever shows up.

Just ran OCCT under 4030 Ghz 21*192 1.3475V and max were 79C, but dont know if its stable, running linx now 20 operations to see

 

[douglatins]

quick question what does it mean if linx doesnt do nothing? 6 minutes and no load...... not running as admin hehe lol

weird, you sure it is going and it didn't stop?

Config is 2 pushpull CM R4 with 1800rpm

At stock

After binges suggestions, i have yet to reseat the HS, though if you believe it to be right, etc, let me know

what 53ish load ?? wtf is wrong with that lol

And yes I just read the first 3 posts incase someone has mentioned this already lol

Dunno if thats expected behavior from the mega

 

[douglatins]

well until now linx max temp was 85C, thats not good right? 21*192 4030mhz core 1.3475V QPI 1.4125V

thats not bad. What clocks can you get with 1.24v? Get me a run at that voltage and let me see the temps.

 

[douglatins]

ok will post in a while

 

[Chicken Patty]

ok will post in a while

k, thanks. I just want to compared voltage wise how our temps are.

1.25475V is 36-38C Idle and 71C
