I have a B3 quad with TT @3.2 and hits 70 when loaded, i've looked at other results and this seems about normal.
Thing is, all the other things in my pc that get hot, feel hot.
Gfx card shows 70 deg, it feels very hot to touch.
The nothbridge passive cooler gets hot and when my old 3800x2 hit 50 deg, it was hot to touch and would blow out very warm air.
Now, 70 deg (TAT and core temp) my TT just gets a little bit warm.
I've lapped the cpu and TT, added washers to the screws and applied the arctic silver the correct way as per the website, this reduced my temps a few degs and balanced out the temp across the cores at load.
I've also removed the base of the TT from the heat pipes, cleaned of the ruff stuff that didn't cover the length of the pipes (think it was some sort of solder), cleaned it all with sand paper, applied some arctic silver and put it all back together.
Same temps, well maybe 1 deg less but that could have been just the re-seat.
So anyway, i have a thermal probe on the north bridge which reads 44 under load, which feels about right and the base of the TT reads 40+, it just feels warm as if it not making a good contact with the IHS.
These chips ars supposed to throttle at 85, but has anyone actually had one do it, and at what temp in core temp?
It just dosn't feel like the base is conducting that much heat.
