This is only my 3rd build, so please be kind (but brutally honest)...
I started having some thermal shutdowns unexpectedly on this new build:
I admit that I did not run a temp check upon build completion and have been running for about a week... I beleive that the temps in the first test below have been consitent since the build, but can not be certain...
I can achieve "normal" operating temps by running the CPU at 2 Ghz (failsafe BIOS)...
I am looking for input on how to able to run the CPU at rated speeds or better and still run well below 60 degrees C MAX in the cores.
The following images tell the story...
TEST # 1
(CPU Overclocked to 3.3Ghz)
TEST # 1b (confirmation)
(CPU Overclocked to 3.3Ghz)
TEST # 2
(Bios Settings at “Load Fail Safe”: CPU @ 2Ghz)
TEST # 3
(Bios Settings at “NORMAL”: CPU @ 2.8Ghz per specs)
SpeedFan Info from Test #3 above:
First Attempt at Thermal Grease…
Any input at all is welcome... Happy to provide more info if needed...
I am planning on replacing the OEM heatsink/fan and suggestions are welcome (1156)
Thanks a million in advance!
Hugh
