This is not good. New Build. E6300 Overheating big time.

Right I've just completed my build. I've got the following kit:

E6300 Retail with stock fan
Asus P5B Deluxe
2GB Crucial anniversary
Corsair 520W PSU
Sapphire X1950XT

I removed the pad stuff on the stock heatsink and applied a thin line of AS5 down the middle of the CPU, I then applied the stock cooler. What on earth is wrong. Need help asap please :(

Have you updated to the latest Bios? It could just be giving you bum readings, I had to do this with my system as the temps were mega high at first, then with the new Bios, all started to look normal ;)
 
I've got a pen drive, any instructions on the latest BIOS? Also double the temps, surely that's abit odd :confused:

Should I try a resit? Even thought I'm 99% certain everything is correct.
 
I need a couple of slaps :o

I forgot to click in one of the heatsink pins to the motherboard. It's now sitting at 49 degrees idle, that still is rather high? cIsn't it?
 
make sure you reapplyed thermal paste. Also give it a few hours for it to settle in :). Also its the intel stock cooler, what you expect :). Get a AC7 best value for money.
 
1.200v on a e6300?

the e6300 runs a 1.325v stock, but the P5B has a vcore undervolt issue. make sure you have the vcore set to 1.365 in the BIOS to compinsate for the undervolt. by doing this you may notice a slight increase in core temperature.

do what i have done and get yourself a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. i have my 6300 at 2.8 and my temps at load dont even go over 58c

SLAP

Im not surprised, those intel heatsink pins are a pain in the ass!






p.s SLAP !


oh thats one too many :D
 
Pfffft, I'm gonna throw a couple of claps back!

It's 55 degrees idle :eek:

The motherboard is 37 degrees! Something is definitely wrong as my Asus A8V Deluxe was arounds 22.

Any ideas? :(

Are you sure you have the heatsink pressed down firmly.

It should be slighly bending the mobo if its fitted right.
 
My CPU was concave and was running as stupid temps (E6300), so I had to lap it...

Also, you want a layer of AS5 that is a micrometer thick.. I literally just reapplied within the last 15 minutes, and boy I must have messed up the first time round as I've lost 15'c from my temps just by applying the thermal paste properly. I ignored the whole line across the processor thing and used a card to make it as thin as possible, and it's been the best way so far.

The stock heatsink isn't gonna be great.

Just out of interest, what's your product code? My week/stepping is 29B (L629B275). I'm just wondering if there's been a batch of hot chips and we've ended up with them..!

You definately wanna get a new heatsink, but tbh as an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro owner, I'd recommend a more expensive cooler. You pay for what you get ;) Go tuniq tower 120, I think that's a good one. Or Scythe Ninja..!

I have exactly the same stepping!

This is how I applied my thermal:

I know the stock cooler is rubbish but my friend recieved his pc today and he's getting 34 idle, ther'e s 20 degrees difference!

I am looking to get the tuniq but in the mean time I really want to sort this out.

Any more takers? :(
 
Turn off Smart Fan if it's on, on my Mobo Smart Fan increased temps by like 20 celcius as it never makes the fan go faster for some reason :mad:
 
Hi dark_shadow,

I'm using the e6300 and P5B Deluxe with an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro and am having similar problems (see thread in sig).

I've reseated it three times and even took the board out the case after I fitted it to check and yeah all four pins were properly engaged?

I've update the BIOS from 0614 to the latest 0804 which made no difference at all? (btw: I update the BIOS using a USB thumb drive and the built in app ez flash 2, works well.)
 
FWIW im running a 28A @ stock its around 30/32 thats core 1+2 diff temps i know?
Last week built a sys with a 29B and that was around 22 @ stock

Try to disable SmartFan in the bios.. I had the same problem and the temp dropped over 15 degrees when I did.. Perhaps its not so "smart" after all. ;)

Thats not enough paste. You need a thin covering over the whole CPU.

My E6300 was set to 1.25v at stock. Now its set to 1.3v in bios and its @ 3.29Ghz and passed orthos for 8 hours.
