2500k Temps

Skepticx · 28 Sep 2011 at 10:04

Hi,

[email protected]
Akasa Venom Cooler
8GB DDR3

idle: 35-37

100%: 67

Is the 67 ok for 100% load, is there anything i can do to try to lower the temps (e.g reseat the cooler)

Hi I have the same setup as you but I am at 4.6ghz, I used arctic cooling mx4 paste though and it is on a Gigabyte z68 board. My temps at idle are 28-30C after 4 hours of prime95 were 67 - 71C so I think your temps under load are OK

I've never gone above 60c under 100% load with the 212+ cooler.

I might just be lucky

Doesn't seem to far from the norm.

i5 2500k @ 4ghz @ 1.200volts idle around 28 load about 50 on water

It does seem a little toasty but well within specs for a i5 2500k. I wouldnt worry too much unless you start hitting 80's, then id start to look at reseating the cooler and checking the TIM is applied correctly ect.

1.2v? Thats mental! I imagine you could reach 4.6ghz on the stock voltage.

Hottest core hits 76 during prime in this hot weather, never sees anywhere close to that in gaming or adobe suite so Im not too bothered.4.5@ 1.36v 2600k
