Stressfree - You're CPU is 10C Hotter than mine.

**emosun** · 06-27-2009, 03:30 PM

Mines like 20c cooler. Only because my board doesn't actually have any overclocking options , lol.

Well, is this such a bad thing though?
It never ever breaches 55 which is 9 below redline (at least in my books)
It doesnt fluctuate too much either, from 33 to 55 at all times (1.375v, droop to ~1.3).

I guess its my Asus triton that isnt up to the job.
It'll do until I hit watercooling.

I forgot to plug in my CPU fan right after I installed my new motherboard and it was running around 45C on idle.

**Jtsou** · 06-29-2009, 06:03 AM

Mine screams at me when I do that.

~~Mcninjaguy~~ · 06-29-2009, 07:07 AM

Well my CPU heatsink is a big 120mm sucker so just the case fans in my Antec 900 cool it down fine.

**Jtsou** · 06-30-2009, 06:04 AM

I still dont think that it gets enough direct air movement to cool efficiently, though im sure it does ok.

Technically speaking, mine is too.
However the design of the Triton means the heatpipe risers are supposed to be nearest the I/O plate, which leaves the louvres facing in the wrong direction for decent removal by case air-flow alone.
It'll do until I can get all the W/C parts I need.

EDIT: Just did another quick blast of Prime to get the temps up to max, it now doesn't breach 50c with the Scythe 110CFM fan blasting. Bloody loud though!

~~Mcninjaguy~~ · 06-30-2009, 09:05 PM

My CPU fan blows up ward towards a 200mm on max (not that loud) and there's a 120mm fan in the back on medium. The fins are going fron to back so the air in the front fans pass air through them nicely.

Pics coming soon in the middle of respraying the case, will post when all is finished

~~Mcninjaguy~~ · 07-22-2009, 06:18 PM

Hey Peachez

You should be using a Corsair 750w or a Corsair 850w for that strong of a graphics card.

**grimx133** · 07-22-2009, 08:20 PM

Nice bus. Did you let it error out, or stop there?

4Mhz, short though. that's the bonus of the E8500, 422x9.5 is so easy to hit.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-22-2009, 08:37 PM

grim you talking to me? ive been running this stable for ~3-4 months

Ive been trying to search to see if the PSU i have would of been enough for it, but as the graphics card is the last thing on my list to upgrade, i suppose ill fork out for a n ew PSU at the same time.
Cheers

That's excellent! I can't run on a bus that high with this board, get a tad unstable just below 430, though I can boot and run at higher, it just isn't prime stable.
Should pull the E8500 and slap it into the EP35-DS3L I have, too much going on right now, maybe when I have some time, whenever that is. Either that or try a wc loop, been thinking about that a lot lately.
Tried to reply here last night, got dinged by the everpresent site update, be nice if they ever get the bugs sorted eh.
