If it keeps happening then you have stability issues somewhere. One every great now and then is ok, if it is happening often you need to start checking hardware. WCG the true hardware stability checker.

Thanks dude..!

Yeah, What @ThE_MaD_ShOt said.

Ok no OC. Can you give us the specs on this system? Also what's your cpu temps?

If I am reading the temps right. that may be your problem. That cpu has a T-case of 72.7c.

That's almost Identical to my i7 860 system. Everything looks good to me except those cpu temps are high that's probably your problem.

Hopefully it doesn't happen anymore. If you start to get a bunch of failed results then let us know and we'll try to help you resolve the problem.

Also, I checked my i7-860 system Temps and the cpu cores are all in the mid 50s crunching at 100%. I have this cpu running at 3GHz and undervolted.

Agreed in certain way ...!

well this poor guy has been hotter... also on Throttling, im looking forward another cooler,
thanks for help, this is the first time i have seen something like this...

In regards to another cooler @peche I run a CM Hyper 212 on my i7-860.

thats what i was looking for, right now its being cooled by stock crappy cooler...

 

[bubbleawsome]

I had an 870 too. Take the stock cooler and use speedfan to crank it to 100% and 6k rpm. It works fine!
Also, anything in the 212-T40 range should keep it cool.

I was going to say that even the stock cooler shouldn't do that poorly, but then I saw "Costa Rica". Google the weather had highs of 28c today. Still, I'd check the stock fan for dust or something. If it's hitting 70c, the motherboard should have already ramped up fan speed to 100% (although it might not).
Minor sidenote, I've never had speedfan work on any system I've run it on. It'll read voltages (usually wrong) and sometimes fan speeds, but fan control never works for me. Everyone else seems to have success stories with it. I'm not saying don't try it though.

Might want to check out Frosty Tech - http://www.frostytech.com/

They do a lot of comparisons you might find helpful.

Mine didn't run at 100% even up to 99c, it just throttled. Also, speed fan has a very specific way of telling it to override fan speeds. Otherwise it just pretends to control the fans. I'd be happy to hemp you out with a guide.

stock cooler for this plataform suck trsust me !
im looking forward a new cooler!
Dont worry

I've abandoned the concept of fan speed control almost completely. Only my CPU fans are controlled by the MB, and at 100% load, they run at full speed. All case fans always run at full RPM, since I believe the days of low-quality, noisy and undersized/over-rotating case fans should be over by now. There are a lot of real quiet, slow-RPM fans available for low prices, so why bother throttling them? Obviously power consumption is not the problem, and if noise is - well, time to upgrade the old 80mm "Tsing-Tsang" fans to something better.
As for SpeedFan, I used it way back when and, yes it was buggy. Better use a fan controller panel or something. Or, newer, bigger and better fans!

My gigabyte board has such a bad PWM curve ( 30% or 100% nothing in between) I would go crazy and break it in half if it wasnt for speedfan

You're right, that's the main reason to use these programs (if you don't have a fan controller, that is). But why would you go crazy? Because of the noise or something else?

Because there is no gradual speeding up. It's either "hey is this fan on" or "hold your pants there is a hurricane outside". Stupid gigabyte... my previous asrock board had an awesome setting called target temperature and it worked great

Fans went out this am to @T-Bob, @ThE_MaD_ShOt , and @thebluebumblebee - check your PM's for tracking info

If anyone on the Team needs anything else please post or PM- my supply is pretty low atm but may be able to find something useful for you if I need to

Thanks bud also I could use a winning lottery ticket if you have one laying around.

Anyone have a line on a cheap, cheap, cheap 120mm AIO cooler? I have a CoolerMaster one that's making too much noise for me to be comfortable.

The pumps are usually near silent, the only noise will be from the fan.
It's pretty cheap to swap a fan on those.
I'd suggest checking where the noise is coming from first, if it is the pump, something might be wrong with it.

 

[xvi]

I've seen deals on AIOs in the $30 range before, but I generally wouldn't recommend them over a $30 air cooler. Any particular reason you're set on an AIO?

if it is the pump, something might be wrong with it.

Was thinking this too. If it's gurgling air, you might be able to chop it up, add some kind of reservoir, and bleed the air out by adding some distilled water.

 

[t_ski]

It's the pump and not the fan. I wouldn't be as worried if the fan was going to die

I was told by the person it came from that it was air and he got it to work out and stop the noise. I however, don't seem to be able to do so. My only option in the case is a single 120mm or 140mm fan, so I can't mount a dual 120mm rad, and I'm not sure a single 120mm is enough to cool both chips. Both procs each have their own 120mm AIO, but the CoolerMaster one is buggy. The other one is a Cool-It model I got cheap and is doing well to keep the CPU cool while being quiet.

Probably got some air stuck in there somewhere. In CLCs, you want them stuck in your radiator (because the only other option is stuck in the pump). I'd suggest chopping it up. For minimum cost, could probably just stick a tee inline and a bit of hose with something to cap the end. The T fitting and hose acts like a reservoir and can be used to bleed out air bubbles. Shouldn't be more than $5 and a trip to the local hardware store.
