Ok I have my 2500K using 1.072v @ 3.3GHz and idle is 36/37c with a Be Quiet Dark Rock Advance

I think this is a little high think should be high 20s low 30s or am i being optimistic, have considered reseating and seeing if that helps.

Anyone any thoughts?

side not 2500k seems to clock nicely to 4.6Ghz on 1.3v havenot tried to lower the voltage, bit did get to 4.4Ghz primestable (small ffts) on 1.22v reached 76c.

Should i reseat the cooler, or get a Silver Arrow or maybe Corsair H60/Antec Kuhler .
 
first things first: what temp is your room at?

i thought my temps were hot for my q8200, but my room was around 30 degrees C :p
 
my i5 2500k at stock, with hyper 212+ in a haf 912 plus case are right now 29, 29,31,32 if that helps, my room temp is around 21-23.

Only got 1 200m intake, 1 120mm exhaust on the haf.

Im really impressed with hyper 212 plus so far, imo the best budget bang for buck cpu cooler going.
 
Do these sandy bridges really run as cool as 32/33 deg c? Damn thats nice and cool, my little e5200 idles at 41deg c (45nm) and has not a fraction of the power you guys have.

Neeeeeeeeeed

Click to expand...

Mine idle's at around 31-32 at stock with the intel cooler - room temp is around 22c so i'd say yours is a little high. I would reseat the cooler.
 
Same set-up as yours.
Mine runs at 37C idle.
Room temp 23C.
On silent mode, CPU fan 450rpm :)
I love the none existent noise!

Another thing is when at 100% load, it only reaches 50C, well happy with that!
 
76 degrees on 1.22v seems a little toasty to be honest.

at 1.3V and 4.5GHZ on Prime95 im getting 60 degrees max after 30 mins although i think i need to reseat my cooler because one core only goes up to a maximum off 53, one gets to about 55, whilst the other two go to 60. Maybe i didnt spread the paste as evenly as I thought! I know they vary but not by 7/8 degrees i wouldnt have thought.

Still, i need to do more playing as this is the first try i have made so i may well be able to go higher on those 1.3volts.

I'm using a Zalman CNPS10x extreme FYI.
 
I was getting 37C idle when I spread the paste using credit card. Then, when I changed my mobo I decided to us the pea application method for the thermal paste and let the contact between heatsink and cpu do the spreading. Idle temps are now 31C. I'm a convert to the pea method
 
Using FT-02 case, MX-4 paste (pea method), Megahalems Mega Shadow and 1 Akasa Viper fan in push I'm getting 29C idle and 51 max on my 2500k at 4.4GHz.

Also with the fan on PWM control I can hardly hear it, never get's close to max speed and I have a fan controller setting the case intakes at 600RPM.

Well chuffed as my old setup was so loud and hot.
 
Jono mine is the same as yours with a large difference between cores.

76c on 1.22v is high....would expect that off a stock cooler.

Was priming last night at 5Ghz at 1.44v and it was hitting 76c on hottest core.
 
I wouldn't worry too much about difference between cores. You will probably find it's more to do with temp sensors on the chip. All assuming you know how to mount a heatsink.
 
Reseated the cooler used some arctic silver 5, now idle at 30/31c and prime 95 small ffts 47/48.

When i took the cooler off to clean/reseat and apply AS5 the contact looked to have been poor.

Pea method used. temps look a lot better.
