3930k temps

Nickolp1974 · 22 Apr 2013 at 20:00

on my 3930 minimum core spread is 19-30c but when running IBT there between 58-65c

Now the cooler core at idle is also the hottest at load, do i have a possible TIM issue??? or is this normal

I get a 6-8 degrees c difference on mine at load, it's common.
However minimum temps are odd, i assume that's not at idle for 10 minutes and you've got some background apps doing something?

Nickolp1974 · 22 Apr 2013 at 20:30

idle's are 27,27,31,28,27,18

it is odd, room temp is about 21c so to get one reading less than ambient is strange, going on impossible, faulty sensor maybe??? IDK

my water temp is currently 25.4c and average core temp excluding the low one is 30c

Your temps look fine

Providing the max temps are ok the minimums will take care of themselves.

its normal,the way it spreads the load across all cores plays a part also

Nickolp1974 · 25 Apr 2013 at 09:12

this look like a bad mount or normal?????? trying to sort benching profile, hence high temps

this is doing some quick testing on IBT on very high.

From 66c to 80c. That's a bigger difference than most, i'd say bad mount or uneven TIM spread.

yeah i think so, just ran it again and got 67-84c, may have to lay off the benching for a while as this means i have to drain loop again :mad:

as the connection between cpu and vrm's is nearly all fittings, gutted

Did your CPU waterblock come with cellophane on it, I forgot to remove it on one of my rigs and the temps were unfortunate to say the least.

Atleast your a dab hand at draining down

Yeah it did but was removed when i first got it

Your a funny man!! Ha ha

My hands are always stained red at the moment!

Sorry mate couldn't resist

It does seem weird that its the same sensor is showing the highest and lowest

readings, unfortunately re applying tim is the only way to go

Nickolp1974 · 25 Apr 2013 at 10:02

That means i'm gonna have to buy something to make me do it

might try one of the koolance cpu blocks

Nickolp1974 · 25 Apr 2013 at 10:14

heres my 24/7 profile, much better, but cant bench with this!!!!

You know it makes sense

Looking at those temps on your 24/7 settings, I would say you have a decent tim spread :confused:

Nickolp1974 · 25 Apr 2013 at 10:22

may give cammy a shout, to see if he had the same with that core.

whyscotty · 25 Apr 2013 at 10:23

Is it the same on Prime when you have a big OC?

Nickolp1974 · 25 Apr 2013 at 10:26

not tried it, usually just test on IBT if benching.

i still think it's the TIM, possible air pocket, which would explain the very low temp on that core, unless that one still thinks its connected to a chiller!!

The sensors on cpu's arent meant for reporting accurate temps and even less so low temperatures. Although I recall reading that the latest intel chip's sensors have a greater lower range. I doubt their QC for temperature response is that rigourous or a strong design goal considering their primary purpose is to help regulate throttling/turbo.
The below airtemp temp on that core would suggest its just product variance (although more pronounced than typical) at a range its not designed to be accurate in.
