Accidentally ran my CPU at 80 degrees

dude which thermal paste / compound are you using?
I would like to get those temps on my i7... using my water 3.0 Pro

You won't on an Ivy Bridge...AMD chips are soldered to the heatspreader, Intels use paste again for the 3000/4000 series LGA 115x chips to supposedly help prevent people from reaching dangerous current limits.

Intel uses half the wattage.

True, but with an extra layer of thermal paste instead of solder, along with different thermal diode placement in the die, those processors only really reach 35c at idle on ambient temperature water. I'm fairly sure my 3770K and 4770K idled between 40-50c. Also, AMD chips show unrealistic temperatures too, I'm highly doubtful a CPU can really run at 65F (18c) at idle in normal room temperature.

I am using As5. Also I don't think you will see this low of temps on an Intel chip. I have a i7 920 that runs 47 under load oc'd to 3.5 or something like that. I was floored to see it that low.

Your right mine runs 12c at idle. I will admit it's like 50 to 55f in my basement.

Excellent, I do have Arctic Silver at home, but on January i'll buy some things that I need, so I would order Arctic Cooling MX2 to replace my old stock paste,

about ivy "oven" processor, I have been thinking on Delidding it to see if i can reach lower temps… but I have a doubt, how to install cooler on a delidded processor? how I make the cooler fit without processors IHS?
Regards,
 
As far as delidding I have no advice for you as I haven't done that.
 
Well… thanks for your help dude, I'll replace paste and see how it does…
 
I don't know. I still don't get it. Your CPU temps are missing in OCCT?

Should look like this. Anyway insane low temps. Ive ran a FX8350 with a H100i and at 4.4 Ghz no where near that. More like 65c

This is my Intel with a H100

I have 11 rigs in my basement. It is winter and in the 30's outside and I keep 2 windows open. Ambient temp is low in here. I say it is high 40's to low 50's in this room. Cold enough to keep temps on the rigs way down but not so cold you have to where long sleeve shirts and such. I am comfortable in a short sleeve shirt, pants and socks. Also I have never seen temps above 45c on any of my Fx rigs. Even the air cooled ones. I tend to freak a little if they get near 50. I shoot for low to mid 40's And even in the summer they don't get above 45c.


Also I don't see any option to add sensors and such to OCCT. Maybe it can read from the board or something. I also checked the box to use all Logical cores.




This is from one of the other 8350's I have here with a Enermax Liqtech 240.

Ya I see your low is 5C. Thats fn cold
 
This is my 8320, this one is running a Deepcool Maelstrom 240. Now this one is a little weird as The head unit controls the fans and right now under full load the fans aren't even running.

I am going to add my other 8350 screen shot and it has the other Maelstrom 240 in it.

Can I move in with you @ThE_MaD_ShOt ? :D

Sure lol but the main oven is off limits to experiments. My girlfriend wont be to happy finding pc parts in the stove baking. You will have to use the small one in the basement.

As long as I get a bed, an internet connection and an oven. I'm all good.
 
Your going to freeze to death
Not with my mound of baked heatsinks. I could have a throne of baked stock Intel and AMD heatsinks and be toasted.
 
Those can't be the real cpu temperatures. Those must be the wrong readings. Just like these are the readings for my cpu (the real temperature is in the green box, the red I dont know what it is, but not the cpu temperature that's for sure).

Here are the temps with prime 95 running. But they are just not correct.

I trust the temp readings in core temp to be very close to actual. But just for shits and giggles.

The melted laptop power bricks permanently fused to the carpet might be an issue too. :p

A Phenom II 720BE I had once ran passively for a while on a tower cooler at about 70c (fan fault), and was fine. I know AMD CPUs supposedly can't operate near the temperature thresholds Intel CPUs can handle, but I also have a mobile Phenom II X920 that has been running between 65-80c 24/7 (temperature depends on when the heatsink clogs up, I have to spray compressed gas in there every few weeks) and zero problems after 4 years.

I know that the 1090t should stay under 50/52°C but the throttling kicks in at ~90°C, so they too aren't that fragile as most people think.

My 1090t ocd also is mid 30's on air.

Actually it was the metal pins on the inside of the brick that melted. :roll:
