i7 980x

SC.Jace · 23 Jul 2010 at 22:22

hi,

i was wondering if anyone can tell me if these temps/volts look ok for an i7 980x at stock speed.i keep seeing the leds below the cpu flashing red while playing games..and does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to change in cmos..

Gigabyte X58A-UD5
Corsair XMS3 DDR1600
saphire 5970
corsair h50 with 1 fan (push)
corsair 850w psu

thanks

that too high temp for stock speed @ 3.33Ghz. All cores should be around 25C in temp with vcore of below 1.10. I can see your TMPIN1 is 35C (should be 30C or less) reseated again.

ok thanks, i'll reseat it.what about tmpin2?

Those temps look ok to me but what are the cores getting up to while gaming?
Use either coretemp or realtemp to monitor cores as both will give you a more accurate reading imo.

Run CPU-Z to see what vcore you are putting through the chip

SC.Jace · 23 Jul 2010 at 23:14

average was 42 - currently 31 to 39 across cores with coretemp64,only teamspeak,steam and ie running

There fine but idle temps aren't that important.
Try gaming or any benchmark/stress testing software to get an idea of load temp.

Going by your sig 1.10v is good very imo albeit i'm only going by i7 920/930 temps. :cool:

Here is my stock speed 3.33Ghz i7 980x here:

SC.Jace · 24 Jul 2010 at 00:13

tried lowering voltage to 1.04 and 1.06,blue screened,now at 1.10000

h50 reseated - temps still high

If you are using it as a stock speed (and not plan to overclock it) these temp will be fine anyway! Your system temp is 51C ? And north bridge is 70C ? and GPU is 64C ?

Look like very poor airflow case!

its a lian-li pc-p50

Bloody hell, way too high. Mine average on stock 19 - 23 I have my rig in a corsair Obsidian 800D. You need good air flow, like mine.

bulldog147 · 24 Jul 2010 at 00:26

Must be your room temp then! My room temp is average hoover around 22C to 24C

You had a nice case there! It look as your mega facing upwards the top fans exhaust rather than the rear exhaust.

His core temps are fine, note in his first post he says he is using one fan on the H50, thats why his is slightly higher.

SC.Jace · 24 Jul 2010 at 00:33

yeah,its a bit warm in here,thats way more tidy than my cables,i think i will redo mine in the morning

please ignore this.

the temperatures arent great but shoudl be fine

remember that stock idle temps dont matter. it is load temps that you want to be watching out for.

unfortunatly you are using a h50 cooler. they dont handle gulftown chips very well and it could limit your overclocking on the cpu somewhat.
the h50 isnt high end air and it certainly isnt high end water.

if you want better temps than that, you are going to need a top of the range air cooler such as a megahalem/venX or custom water.

in all honesty though, the only limitation to your £800 Extreme Edition CPU is the cooler you chose for it

here is pc under load

PaulyD · 24 Jul 2010 at 17:52

Thats absolutely fine mate

bifday2k · 24 Jul 2010 at 18:16

Yup totally fine, and you could still add a 2nd fan to make it better if u wanted aswell.
