CPU Temps

Eatchipz · 18 Feb 2013 at 18:46

I am just wondering if my CPU temps are ok? In my opinion they seem quite high considering that I am just browsing the internet and watching a few youtube videos.

The CPU is being water cooled by a Asetek 510LC in a BitFenix Prodigy case but I thought it would be doing a better job.

My Current System was prebuilt (Not By OCUK) and the spec is:
Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe
i7-3770K 3.50GHz
MSI 7870 2GB
8GB 1600mhz DDR3 Ram
1tb Hard Drive
120gb SSD

They are fine, may be a bit high..

What RPM are your fans at?

Eatchipz · 18 Feb 2013 at 19:01

Wish I could tell you haha.

BitFenix Spectre Pro 230mm in the Front
2x Sharkoon Silent Eagle SE fans - One is on the Radiator of the CPU Cooler and the other is on the roof of the case.
I then added a Corsair AF120 Quiet Edition last week beside the Silent Eagle in the top of the case.

Regarding the silent eagle se fans, which of the modular cables are they using. Theese fans feature 5v, 7v, 12v and PWM cables. At full speed, (1300 rpm) they dont shift an awful lot of air.

what cooler are you using btw? ahh nvm an all in one watercooler

The Top Case Fan is using a Black Cable with a label that says 12v Low Noise and the CPU Radiator fan is using a White Cable with Standard on it.

Apparently a Asetek 510LC and that is my worry cause I can't see anywhere that sells it are anything

The white is PWM iirc, speed range for theese fans is 200-1200rpm. Theyre not ideal for a hot rumming cpu such as the 3770k, especially in a smaller case. The black cable will be running that fan at a constant 1200 rpm.

So swap out the White cable for the Black on the CPU fan? Are would it be better to just get a new cooler?

With the white PWM cable, you can configure the fan speed to rise under load using ai suite software for your mobo from asus. Your definitely not helped by the prodigys closed front design, my bitfenix shinobi xl is the same and it's a full tower case.

what psu do you have?

crap makes of power supply (usually supplied with prebuilts) can have a detremental effect on your OC and temps.
