ok thanks. i just ran pcmark05, max temp reached 63 degrees on one core. Ive been reading people getting under 40 Degrees under load with these CPU's. I know it may take a while to settle in, but surely that difference will be a degree or two. What is max temp for this CPU? it is around 62 degrees i heard?

Also the voltage is 1.3125, it cant go any lower due to motherboard restriction, yet i understand this CPU can run from 1.1V to 1.3275V?

Running itunes and World of Warcraft it is about 59 Degrees per core. Is this right?

EDIT: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro HSF, Thermaltake Shark Case

EDIT:I had a problem of random restarts (cut-outs). When i reseated the heatsink, a couple of days ago, i thought the problem was solved. It just cut out again. Temps were around 60 Degrees. Possibly spiked?

Just stressed all 4 cores with Prime95, hitting 63-64 degrees with no reboot.

Help!

Under water and with all 4 cores Folding at 100%, and at 3.06ghz @1.38v my readings are 55c, 55c, 51c, and 49c in CoreTemp right now.

The first 2 cores hit 60c last night.

Upgrade your cooler dude. The AF7 wasn't designed for Quads.

Then you can bump your voltage to stop it crashing.
 
can you recommend a cooler for quad cores? i wouldnt mind a nice overclock on air.

and you think its the voltage which is making it cut out 1.3125?, uguru says cpu volt is 1.35. From what i see all over the place 1.35 is excessive for stock speeds. Surely this is directly linked to the heat problem? Why cant i drop the voltage on this board?!

Thanks for your help

My DS3 reads the stock voltage as 1.275v. Tho I didn't run any tests at that.

What's your vdroop like under load? Mine seems a lot worse than it was with my E6600. Maybe your board is under-volting under load.
 
the cut-outs are very irregular, voltage seems stable, just a bit high, which would explain the high temps. i dont understand why this mobo wont allow a voltage below 1.3125V?

After this much money, not only are the components dropping rapidly in price, i can't even get it to settle in. Any help appreciated.

EDIT:Also looking for decent quad core cooler
 
The range of voltages required is 1.100V to 1.372v meaning some require the lower value while others are higher and some will require the full 1.372. Yours defaults to 1.3125v for stable operation because Intel have deemed that's what it needs.

Your best bet is to go for one of the very high end air coolers such as the Tuniq Tower 120. The Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro range of fansinks become heat saturated very quickly with dual/quad core CPUs so it's no surprise your temps are so high.
 
excellent, thanks for your response. So can i get a show of hands, what is my cut-out problem:
1. Low Voltage
2. High Temps
3. Other (Please specify)
 
Have you tried running memtest86+ or Orthos blend to make sure the memory is configured/working perfectly?

A £350 piece of expensive cutting edge silicon being cooled by a very cheap Arctic Freezer 7 Pro? :rolleyes:

You really need to read the forums, this question is asked so much its not funny! :eek:

In the middle of WoW again, BSoD. Didnt catch the error, need to turn off auto-reboot. Running memtest now. Sound like RAM problem? or could that sill be a heating/voltage issue?
 
Just checked the BSoD dump

EDIT::
BugCheck 1000000A, {f5e84668, 2, 0, 80521f9d}

i understand SiWinAcc.sys is SATALink drivers. This is the first BSoD i have had though, possibly unrelated? I am judging that by the fact it is the only dump.

Ran memtest once, no errors, will run more tomorrow.

-Memory? (unlikely)
-CPU overheat (possible)
-SATAlink drivers (possible)

Hope this can help. if you need any more of the dump, please ask.

EDIT: i also want to add that this only seems to happen when im doing something remotely intensive, pc will idle for hours even while im browsing, listening to mp3's etc. Temps were around 60/61C per core whilst playing WoW.
 
orthos only runs two threads if i am correct, but i will run it for a while, ill let you know the progress, keep the ideas coming! i appreciate it

8800GTX OC2 temp is 64C idle
