E6300 with Ultra 120

Gazmondo · 2 Jul 2009 at 11:50

Hi,

I've just bought an Ultra-120 HSF, had a go at applying the chillfactor2 thermal paste (Not too good with applying paste) and using realtemp I'm getting idle temps of 46 and load temps of 62....

I'm assuming these are too high? It's running stock @ 1.86ghz...

It does seem a bit high, what fan are you using?

Scythe S-Flex...

Just took it all out, wiped it clean and reapplied it, ran realtemps3 and it idle's at 37 and under Prime95 hits 45...

Bit happier now, but do these seem reasonable?

I'm looking at overclocking it if these temps look fine

I have mine under water and it idles at 35 - 37 at the moment in this heat and 42 - 45ish 100% load.

I have mine clocked to 2.7.

Tbh the heat doesnt help, but I would say you will be fine to get the chip to around 2.5 on stock volts / upping a little. So shouldnt make much difference to temps

Give it a go and see

I'll try it now

I will either report back a happier man

...... or not report back at all :eek:

45 is fine considering the weather

Anyone know how to set the FSB:RAM Ratio in an Asus P5K-SE?

I've hit 2.3ghz on stock volts, realtemps say idle is 41 load is 59...
