CPU Temp 88c.. Normal?

[rhysduck]

Just fired up the new rig..

i5 @ stock with a Corsair H50 cooler...

Straight into the bios and iits saying the CPU is at 88degrees!

This cant be normal surely? Ive tried the cooler with just the stock fan (intake) and 2 fans in PUSH/PULL.

The MX-3 Compound wasnt very supple and gooey as I'd imagined.. is that ok also?

It just sits at 88/89degrees...

Ok something cant be right...
Sitting at the bios screen above.. it just turns off.
Will let it cool down and reapply the MX-3. See if that sorts it out.

Anyone recommend a application method of the MX-3 with the H50?

Definitely try reapplying thermal paste, just a small rice grain sized blob on the middle of the cpu, the pressure of the cooler will be enough to spread it out.

Hi

Def something not wright my H50 idles at 36dc and that with a core i7 clocked to 3.8ghz and stock paste.

The pic only shows rpm of one fan.It should show two,one for fan on the H50 and one for the pump.

It'll be protecting itself against melting.

As has been said, Reseat the H50. Im tempted to say that Its just not screwed down properly, Even with paste not applied 'properly' would give lower results than that.

my q6600 at 3ghz with corsair h50 idles at32c and at load 52c so there is something wrong! as other posts as said reseat the h50 and i find turning it left to right a small amount will spread the termal compound out better!

God im a tit I'd forgot to plug the Pump Power connector in after swapping the 2nd fan to an intake from an exhaust (Id initally set it up so both fans were blowing against each other)...

Sitting happily at 30degrees now

Indeed.

Pump -> system fan header at 12v/full speed

H50 fan -> CPU_FAN header

Everything plugged in and working? Pump buzzes a little when its on.


30 degrees on mine says tis not normal.


*Edit:

God im a tit

Quoted for truth

I wish.
I rma'ed one because its loudest part of my rig and they sent it back saying it was fine.Then two days later another appeared at the door.The 2nd one was louder,free but louder

Glad to hear you got it sorted, 8 pin atx is my favourite connector to forget to plug in.

I dont know what else to say except, lol.

Get a quieter case

My little P180 Mini muffles it quite nicely

If you have something made of plain sheet riddled with more holes than metal then you're really going to hear it if it's up on your desk next to you.

Ive got a Q6700 at 3.0ghz just running on Air... I would actually use that H50 to its full potential if i was you...

I have a p182 and its 3 feet from where i sit plus i hear it over 7 12xm fans
I'm actually contemplating blocking top exhaust the see if it helps.


Sorry OP for going off topic.
