Thermal paste

Will this be good, because that would save me a ton of money lol. I just don't want it turning into a 'glue' and never coming off of my processor.

Also the Shin Etsu is very good, i didn't know Intel used it as a stock thermal paste for their dual cores back in 2005, Corsair uses Shin Etsu thermal paste on their Corsair H50, and it's pretty good.

 

i changed the voltage manually to 1.3 at 4Ghz while its 1.175 at 3.8

All of the tests were on a stock Intel heatsink and never got above 70 degrees Celsius

 

I think at the very least, he had a really cool running chip and he switch out the thermal paste.

 

well at least your right . it wasnt the case with me at all i went to 95c

 

i cleaned up the stock heat sink and there was loads of dust in it , i moved to vcore 1.3
tested with 15 min full load with real temp load test and everything is fine here : 76c max

with normal benchmark 3dmark11 max temp 67c

so you underestimated that stock heat-sink ?

 

Yes, I've switched to using Artic Alumina entirely now that I've run out of MX2. It is really good paste, and doesn't turn to cement after a few months of use.

Ah, sorry, I missed that. None the less, he just said he was using a stock Intel heatsink, not the stock Intel heatsink.

Thre is a big difference between the older style stock Intel heatsinks with the copper core and taller design and the shitty low profile all aluminum things they include with the processors today. I would say it is possible to hit 4GHz+ with a 45nm Core 2 Duo using a stock heatsink from a Pentium D. Because the stock heatsink from the Pentium D was a beast.

Lets see some OCCT Linpack tests and then we'll see how temps are. But that looks good.

 

STOOOPPPP Don't do it!!! You Stock CPU Cooler won't be enough...... Try looking at something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ at very least. That is a CPU cooler on the cheaper end but it is one of the best ones.
If you want better and a little more expensive a Zerotherm ZT-10D would do the trick too. Also of course you got your normals of Prolimatech Megahalems or Thermalright True 120's.
As far as the thermal paster don't worry about. It can handle temps way higher then you CPU can put out!!!
If you are looking for a good Thermal paste I would look for maybe The Artic cooling MX2/MX3 maybe the Gelid GC-Extreme (What I use found it to work best for me) or just good old Artic silver 5 (which is not as good... but it was one time the best)

Maybe also do a little more research on overclocking too. Just for safety sake it sounds like your possible first time.

 

i dont want to use cpu burn s/w . i think benchmarks and real temp are enough at this time .
if i had crashes i will come back here and ask for help . ok ?

 

temps are alright, as long as it wont hit 80c over like 3-6 hours you will be fine

 

after 40 on real temp ut wont pass 76c so its not gonna go higher .
but if i crash because of other settings u will ask here . i dont think it will be
vcore issue right ? maybe ram voltage or something ,

 

I wouldn't bank on that. It isn't a good idea to not load the CPU to the max and make sure the heatsink can handle the load. If you are going to be running these settings 24/7 then you want to make sure the heatsink can handle it. Otherwise the CPU could overheat.

 

but in that screen i opened 4 load tester screens and ran it for 15 min like you see and
the load was 100% so ? ill make another real temp 1 hour test . but not burn tests

 

but i have 8500 and my tjmax is 100c i dont get ure point

 

used to be 95C and they put it to 100C after

 

so i went to 97 c yesterday , that means i passed tjmax??? what then? the thermal might be waned off? , what about max temp in bios ?
should that work also?

am under 75c with stock fan i know its not recommended but its working so...

 

Yes, but my point is that you need a burn test to make sure 1.) that your overclock is actually stable and 2.) that your heatsink can actually handle the heat in a high stress situation.

 

ok its an old boot anyway , am getting a new upgrade next summer .

all i want is to be stable at my current settings ,if i crashed and it wasnt a heat issue i would
appreciate further help from you guys ,thanks

 

btw isnt real temp made by this web ? why dont u guys update the tjmax to 95c ??
so that your software would not damage any hardware , right ?

 

yes i will post there , but what if the user truted the tjmax of the s/w ? and didnt ask at
the forum? i did that and am not such a newbie .
