Im using the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 and im getting an idle temp of 34C (CPU at stock speed). The system has been running 24hrs solid at this time.

What temps are others getting ?


additionaly can anyone reccomend some good stress tools (apart from 3dmark as its trial) ?
 
Try Prime95 , but be careful under air your temps will probably reach 80's if you are clocked around 4500+ area. When you run this choose small fft's

I'm under water and at 5GHz hit 70 and idle in mid 20's. These chips like all other chips get hot so watch your temps download this to monitor.

You want the trail extreme edition, and then when installed look for computer and sensor. This tool is also useful to montor voltages everything really good luck :)

I get a peak of 65 celcius on air at 4.4Ghz running Prime, small FFTs. Idle around 26-30 celcius.
 
I got 50C on air @ 3.4GHz running Prime 95. I dunno if this seems a little high ? (I am down a case fan though)
 
ITB (intel burn test - not sure what the latest version is) for stress. Prim95 for stress /fine-tuning i.e. leave it running for as long as possible once you find something reasonable stable. It can quite easily catch something after 24/48 hours.
 
I keep getting spike at 86 deg which is a bit worrying considering I'm using a haf x case as well, actually worried about playing games on it now and it's not even overclocked yet
 
I use IBT and LinX to check it quickly, then prime overnight to give it a thorough test :)

worst that'll happen is it'll BSOD and reboot - if you wake up to a plain desktop, you had problems lol
 
I actually run OCT for a custom 1/2 hour this usually will show failure of over clock right away then I prime as prime seems to take much more out of the CPU. Also OCCT sometimes gives you a reason for the overclock fail.
 
Ah, I forgot about oct, despite using it for my gpu last week :(

Pretty sure it's linpack like ibt, but it tries to track errors rather than simply failing.
 
My i5-2500k @ 4.6ghz 1.35v 72C max (only 4C higher then at 4.5ghz 1.3v) the Akasa Venom CPU fan goes into overdrive at 4.6/1.35v its good to know it can go up a gear when necessary.
