Coolermaster V8 Temps

I suppose that points towards not enough air entering the case via the front fan?

Either way, that is quite hot...

V8's do tend to have lumpy idles though! :p
 
When my pc case is open it drops mine 4c as well. that is normal. does your psu rest at the top? mine does and it really spews out the heat. What kind of temps were you getting at stock speeds with the stock fan? That is the question I want to know. I think that would maybe help narrow down the real problem.

my psu at the bottom. never put the stock fan on but still got it if i need it. i bought i7 system same time when i my v8 cooler. all voltage setting in the bios are on auto
 
Try to set your voltage to 1.18 or 1.15, as opposed to auto. You should be able to have a stable 3.2ghz setup right at one of those so I would imagine stock speeds would be fine too. See if that doesn't lower your temps, although still doesn't make sense for them to be that hot unless somehow your auto setting keeps upping the voltage during high loads which I guess may be a possibility.
 
V8 works great for me, the fan seems to be engineered for quiet rather than performance but even then it works pretty great, with a couple of simple airflow mods it will keep my Q6600 under 55C even with 1.6 vcore.

I can't believe how quiet it is when on high. But to offset that performance piece, I bought a 120mm silverstone to move 110cfm. Talk about loud, that fan is loud, but does give me the push pull effect I was looking for. But even before the exhaust fan, my temps were never as high as fighters.

ok i lower down my vcore to 1.18 and my temp went down a lot 58c run prime95 10 min to. and i put my 2 ati fan to 60% speed ;)

Those are great temps for 1.6 vcore, what clockspeed are you running Rroff?

If you are doing 58c in prime95 that sounds much better. You could probably set the qpi (bclk) to 160 instead of 133, and get 3.2ghz without having to raise your voltages and that should be a stable setup. Temps should not increase much either, but they may a little.

Really I just wanted to never hit over 75 per core in prime95 cuz with tjmax at 100 that's still 1/4 under that. In normal use, I would never max out all 8 threads so temps would be fine if I wanted to go 4.2ghz for my everyday use. I just would probably crash in prime95 without raising my voltage, which would in return put me closer to 80c under 100%load.

ganna set the qpi (bclk) to 160 now and see if it stable at 3.2ghz.. thx help ninja
 
ok am running (bclk) to 160 mult 21 and my clock are on 3360mhz max temp 69 at full load useing prime 95 for 15 min.. think temps to high for 3.3ghz

Nah, temps are fine for that setup. They are maxed @ 100. And you are far from that. You cpu will most likely NEVER reach those temps gaming as gaming rarely uses more than 2 cores, and even ones that use more will not max them out. If you are just gaming/music/media you should never see them get that high.
