definitive i7 temps?

Gaidin109 · 6 Sep 2009 at 01:52

where is the link to the MM, I cant seem to find it.

Nice deals mate, could definitely do with a bit of that, It would keep the missus happier at least.

Need to message a mod once you've been registered for however long it is, it doesn't show up at all on the forums until a day or so after that. It appears near the bottom

Thanx. got to wait till October.

Thanks Gaidin, I thought you were running 1.200 vCore from the first shot, but at 1.287v it's pretty much bang on what I have at the moment.

In terms of the H50, certainly is a lot neater and tidier and I will consider one for my next build - from a temperature perspetive, it doesn't stack up for me to switch to one of these at the moment though.

Some good info here guys - it will come in useful as I try to optimise mine. Thanks for sharing

1.2v is under load in cpuz, 1.287 is what I set the bios vcore to, this shows as 1.248v in cpuz, but I have to compensate for the vdroop as I do not use LLC.

just been having a quick read through as I started this thread to see if I had cause for concern re my temps and it seems they're about average.

Like many I was also worried about the 7 degree variance in temps between cores, but it seems quite normal, For those with the variance the trend seems to be that core 0 is the hottest core, about 5-8 degrees hotter than the coolest core, which seems to be core 3, with cores 1 and 2 very close together in their temps and about half way between 0 and 3.

I'm looking to go to 4.2 so would appreciate words of wisdom from those who've been there.

For me, core 0 and core 2 are the hottest ones.. I see a 6c difference now between core 3 and 0, it used to be 10c when I was using AS5, but after I applied some MX3 it dropped to 6c, though I assume this is probably more to do with reseating the HSF than anything else..

I think the only way I could get them to even out more is by having my HSF and chip lapped, which I'm not going to do!!!

Heres mine after 40 minits prime. running a lot of voltage for 4.2ghz because this d0 needs a lot of voltage.

These temps are pretty good for 1.4v vcore on air

DavyBoy · 13 Sep 2009 at 01:50

Which cooler are you using mate?

::edit::

n/m, just checked the link in your sig.

i h ave windows 7 and having some problems with resolution but apart from that its xlnt

how did you get your icons on the top of the page davy that looks m8

I'm using Rocketdock mate.. find it much tidier having that rather than having icons on the desktop.

@chiLLZ my D0 needs quite a bump in Vcore when I have it at 4.2GHz as well, not quite as high as yours, but it's still quite a jump from what I need to do 4GHz.

I never thought I would have seen that much of a difference between AS5 and this stuff, but I was wrong.

I will be using MX-3 from now on.

It has a really weird consistancy compared to AS5 to, it is quite pastey, and really easy to apply to.

Before applying this stuff my loads were around 82c, now they are down to 77c on the hottest core, really can't fault this TIM at all.

Im gonna order some of this MX-3 as i am currently using AS5 and my temps are 81c on the hottest core running IBT @ Max.

What you running Vcore @ for 4.2@ My temps at 4.0 seem good so thinking of a 4.2 now my paste has cured.

3.8 Ghz with a Noctua. Temps from Everest on a warm day.
Idle 44C - Everest stability testing ~78C, Gaming ~50C

I have managed to get them lower now than I had them set to previously in those last screenies I posted.

I can now set the Vcore down to 1.315v in the BIOS, CPUZ shows it to be 1.290v idle, and under load it drops down to 1.284v or something like that, and my Vtt is at 1.275v.

You might find that you will need to bump the Vcore up quite a bit from what you need it at for your 4GHz o/c when you try clocking to 4.2GHz.

PaulyD · 23 Sep 2009 at 23:08

Agree with Davy, it scales quickly up at a certain point

My results (all load results from CPU-Z):

4.2ghz - 1.28v
4.3Ghz - 1.328v
4.4Ghz - 1.384v

Mine is the same, albeit ive only got it running stock at the minute, idle temps are, 29-23-29-23, also using mx3 with a TRUE and 2 400-1200 rpm fans currently running at 1020 rpm.
