Core Temps

Peace · 9 Apr 2007 at 17:36

I am clocking my Opty 165 at 2655mhz at the moment (295mhz FSB) and i get a 6-8c difference between them when i run ORTHOS.
Was just wondering if this is normal.

Also as you can see below i get 55-61c on full load and i was thinking to get the Noctua NH-U12F to see if i can lower the temp a bit, anyone can confirm that this cooler is as good as i think it is

I was getting the same thing. Its due to the IHS not having even contact, with the cores.

I removed mine, now under load they are 1-2 c difference.

i am a bit to worried about removing the IHS to be honest

Got my new Noctua NH-U12F fitted and now my temps are mid 40c on full load plus this cooler is really silent and looks amazing
